FULL TIME
- R 45 600,00.

 

We offer two 3D Animation and Visual Effects full-time courses, from February to November. The full-time course for Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Composite and V-Ray is given in the mornings; the full-time course for Autodesk Maya, Adobe After Effects and V-Ray, in the afternoons.

These applications are covered from an intermediate to advanced level preparing students to enter the workplace at the end of their studies.

 
   
Course Objective  

The aim of these courses is to provide students with a functional working knowledge of Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Composite, Adobe After Effects and V-Ray as well as a thorough understanding of their application into the different markets such as broadcast TV & film, game and design visualization, etc.

These courses are extremely comprehensive as all the major aspects of each piece of software are covered. As these programs are very extensive, students are expected to be committed to learning and not averse to doing extra homework. In fact, the passion for 3D in any of its aspects is one of the major requirements!

 
 
Specific Outcomes  

After finishing either or both of these courses students will have a complete understanding of the software and the workflow required to use it successfully.

Namely they will be able to create 3D models from templates or from scratch, give them a realistic look by means of properly creating and projecting textures, they will know how to generate a suitable lighting setup for the scene, give life to their models by animating them, and finally composite them into real video footage adding visual effects if necessary.

 
   
Who should attend?  
Given its content, each course is especially suitable for aspirant 3D artists, who want to work on film or commercial animation and visual effects. Graduates in Industrial Design, Interior Design or Architectural who would like to use 3D in their daily work will also benefit from attending these courses.
