What you'll learn

Environmental Realism

Learn to plan and execute a CG production pipeline by taking a real-world environment and replicating it as a photo-realistic 3D scene. You’ll master cool stuff like model production, digital sculpting, texturing, asset management, look development, CG lighting, compositing and post-production.
 

Team Production

Work in a simulated industry-style studio as a specialist to complete a large-scale project. We’ll delve into project planning and management, data management, industry practices, critical analysis, as well as further develop your skills in your chosen CG specialisation.
 

Research and Showreel

This is your capstone project for the year. Research the career specialisation you wish to pursue and design a project to bolster your showreel. Build your skills in project planning and scope, brief development, professional practice and critique. Finish the year with an industry-standard showreel to showcase your talents to employers.
