Animation is pure imagination. Few industries allow you to create what has never been seen before, which is cool. But it's also a profession where technical expertise and application is as important as raw talent, and this is where we come in. Our courses are all about building your character and credentials by giving you hands-on experience in 3D modelling, rigging, design, textures, lighting, rendering and compositing.
