• CHARACTER DRESS DESIGN & MODELING IN MARVELOUS DESIGNER:

3D design tool for clothes and fabrics, used in animated films and video game development for 3D character design, 3D art, 3D Models and 3D Animation.

• 3D MODELING GUIDELINES FOR VR & GAMING

Virtual Reality (VR) is an emerging medium that is changing the way that people experience entertainment, education, and a widening array of applications that extend beyond the entertainment industry. Students will learn the guidelines & requirement’s of creating characters for these emerging technologies.

• DESIGNING AND MODELING A UNIQUE 3D CHARACTER:

Learn to create unique 3D characters that come to life with realistic textures! Character creation is one of the most dynamic and exciting parts of designing and modeling 3D games and films. This hands-on Maya experience covers every aspect of the character creation process from concept and design to the finished product. Through modeling, texturing, and prepping your rig for animation, you’ll learn how to do it all using the industry standard for CGI creation.

Learning Outcomes:

In this 4-Week 3D Character Animation Workshop students learn the fundamentals of 3D animation — basic modeling techniques, character design & development process, and much more — through hands-on experience with the industry-standard Maya software, which has been used in every film to win an Oscar for best visual effects since 1997. Over the course of the four weeks, students quickly develop from learning how to perform basic modeling to start developing their own characters for VR, gaming, film & broadcast.

The 4-Week 3D character animation workshop shares the same focus as our one year ‘’3D ANIMATION & VFX’’ program: learning by doing. At School of Animation, courses are taught by active professionals in the field, who are able to convey theory as a tool to be used to create great art. The goal is not only to offer students a better understanding of animation, but to empower them to create their own films and pursue a future in the field of animation.
