3D Animation has recently taken many strides and advances within our entertainment industry. Canadian Gaming companies like EA Games, are working on the latest and greatest Game titles from NHL 2009 to the new Tiger Woods 2009. Pixar Animation has created some of the best animated movies of our time and continues to lead the way with movies such as ‘The Incredibles’ and ‘Ratatoullie’.
At Herzing, you are introduced to what companies are searching for in talented artists. We use Maya which is an industry leading 3D program that has been used in some of the most famous feature films of all time such as "The Lord of the Rings".
Students are instructed in the art of storyboarding which has its roots in storytelling (the foundation of any movie or game). From there, the basics of modeling and animation are studied with hands on projects.
As the student progresses, they are taught the art of advanced modeling, character rigging and animation. It's not enough to understand how a character moves, the secret is understanding how to make the character come to life!
By using real world examples, students learn how to focus on the important details which will allow their work to stand out.
At Herzing, we don't want to show you what you want to see, instead, we believe in showing you what you need to know!
Students are introduced to all of the aspects of the 3D industry such as: modeling (organic and mechanical models), realistic lighting, character & facial animation along with special effects.
If you are interested in animating, modeling or the video gaming industry, please pay us a visit. Take that first step in realizing your dream. Request Info on our 3D program
