3D Game AnimationDepartment Head: Francisco Carreon Argudin You have a talent for art and a burning passion for games. At the heart of the entertainment revolution is the game industry and a career as a game artist is your destiny. Games allow you to join complex fantasy worlds, tryout new identities, live out heroic stories, and test your abilities. You can even challenge or join forces with players on the other side of the world - and game artists and animators exist at the Centre of the action. The 3D Game Animation program starts from the beginning: expanding and developing your artistic sensibilities, grounding you in fundamental art and animation skills, and introducing you to the game industry and process of game design and development. The program begins by covering all the bases including classical 2D animation, 3D animation, traditional art design and layout, modeling, texturing, lighting, character design, life drawing, storyboarding, game design, and level editing tools. You will then branch out to apply your training to the creation of a game proof-of concept or demo project developed in a collaborative team environment. You will prepare for entry into the workforce by completing your graduation and professional portfolio and demo reel. Earn your 3D Game Animation Professional Diploma in only 24 months*.
