Bachelor of Fine Arts - Animation: 3D

With Three-Dimensional Animation, computers take center stage. While you`ll still be drawing your characters and scene, your pen will actually be a stylus, mouse, and keyboard. You`ll start with the essential skills of life drawing, composition, and character design, but you`ll have much more emphasis on the 3D techniques of modeling, texturing, and lighting. You`ll learn to mimic reality as closely as possible, down to the shadow on a lamppost or how a gentle breeze would affect the furry coat of a Labrador. You`ll study a variety of applications used in the industry, including Photoshop, Maya, Lightwave 3D, Solo, Combustion, AfterEffects and more. By the time you graduate, you`ll be well prepared to enter this exciting and expanding field.
