3-D Modeling / Animation

The 3-D Modeling/Animation area incorporates traditional skills, such as sculpture and drawing, with 3-D digital skills to create 3-D models and animations in a digital environment. Students apply concepts such as lighting effects, camera angles, motion studies, digital video and sound to create scenes.

Part of the training in 3-D Modeling/Animation prepares students for the work environment as they learn to create project concepts, plan production schedules and work in a team environment to meet project deadlines.

The successful animator is able to compose, develop and direct a scene that conveys a specific idea. Students apply their traditional art skills and 3-D composite and photo editing skills to create animations that demonstrate that competence within an industry specialization.
