The 3D Animation & Video Game Art Program is a comprehensive program that puts equal emphasis on the artistic and the technical side of 3D modeling and animation.  Courses will cover material that will take the student through the whole production process and workflow of 3D animation, from storyboarding and conceptualization to the final delivery of the rendered product.  Curriculum spans traditional animation techniques, life drawing and the technical fundamentals of 3D animation and modeling. Classes will taught in a state-of-the-art computer studio with the latest version of Autodesk's Maya, currently considered industry standard.
