EMERGING STUDENT PROFILE:
There is huge demand for 2D animation series on TV and OTT platform as they are very simple drawings, much focus on the storytelling, action and exaggeration which kids love the most. Looking at this the production studios across the world are hiring massively the 2D artists. Apart from this, they also work on lots of creative content as pre-production artist, character designer, storyboard artist, layout/ background artist, art director, visualizers.
This program has been developed to provide specialized knowledge in 3D Animation. It covers the Fundamentals of Art and Design after which students are exposed to the detailed 3D module. At the end of the program, there will be three elective specializations such as Modeling & Texturing, Lighting and Animation.
