3D Animation Certificate
One of the most exciting growth areas of the film industry is digital animation. You plan to attend a school that will catapult you into the field with exceptional qualifications. The program of choice for visionary students is the 3D Animation Certificate offered by the renowned Center for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University. Nine months of intensive coursework will provide the requisite skills to realize your personal and career goals.
The curriculum is presented in 'modules', which allows an initial broad knowledge
base. Your training as a digital animator begins with the fundamentals, achieved through hands-on practice using the most up to date technology. Alias/ Wavefront Maya 3D software assists in the creation of 3D models, animations, and scenes.
The school also emphasizes the value of educating for real world application, as well as necessary technical theory. Conception, composition and figure drawing
are the basic building blocks, and skill is solidified with lots of hands on learning. By the end of the course, you will have a rendered 'short', complete with associated models, textures and animations. With your beginning portfolio or demo reel in hand, you are well prepared to make your mark in the animation industry.
The detailed list of modules, below, will give an overview of the subject matter
covered in the 3D Animation course.
