| Course Description | 3D Animation Foundations is designed to introduce students to the many career opportunities available for 3D artists, animators and designers. This course gives students an understanding of the creative potential of the 3D animation software used in the games, film and visual effects industry. The course is focused on learning how to create a short-animated film with a 3D character at an introductory level. Students start by planning and discussing their short-animated film ideas through concept art and storyboards. Students learn how to model and animate their designs. They will then complete the production process with a short-animated film that is presented on a video hosting website (such as YouTube).
Students will also learn how the 3D animation film industry works. They will learn about how studios are setup, the software they use and the people they employ.
3D Animation Foundations serves as a valuable bridge to further study in 3D animation, including 3D animation for games or film. Graduates leave with a portfolio of work, knowledge and skills useful in many other multimedia and design areas |
| Pathways | Students can follow up this course with a Cert III in Screen & Media – Game Art Foundations to further develop character and 3D environments in industry standard software.
