3D Game Animation

Video Game Design School - Design, Create, Play

Your talent is your imagination, and it shows in your art.  Your life is not a fantasy, yet fantasy is your life.  You have a burning passion for games, for the action and interaction, for the incredible characters and amazing worlds.  Somehow you feel you belong.

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.

3D Animation Programs - Launch your Career

Our graduate success rate tells us the 3D Animation programs at the Kelowna British Columbia, Halifax Nova Scotia, and Fredericton New Brunswick Centre for Arts and Technology campuses, is the perfect way to launch your career in professional game animation for the video game industry.

At Centre's Video Game Design School we develop the complete person, not just the artist so you will explore real-world projects, time management, achieving milestones, and working to deadlines. These skills combined with the highly specialized technical and artistic training you will receive at the Centre's game animation programs will allow you to complete a professional portfolio and demo reel targeting your goals in the video game industry.

The 3D Game Animation program will expand and develop your artistic sensibilities, grounding you in the foundation of art and animation skills, introducing you to the game industry and process of game design and development.

Game Design Programs - Pursue your Passion

On the first level (because we are, after all, speaking with gamers) the game design programs will cover all the bases including computer graphics training, classical 2D animation, 3D animation, traditional art design and layout, modeling, texturing, lighting, character design, life drawing, storyboarding, game design training, and level editing tools.

In level two, at this video game design school, 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 in level three by completing your graduation and professional portfolio and demo reel.  Along the way stop and pick up special weapons and tools in the form of fellow Centre students, industry contacts, added skills, experience and new technologies.  Use these to expand your network and continue to advanced levels.

Now, put down the game controller and create the kind of game you’d want to play!
