Intensive Course in Animation
This is a specialized course which focuses on key areas of 3D Animation from ideating concept to rendering a full fledged 3D animated movie. The course is divided into four specialized areas of a 3D Animated Movie Making;
- Preproduction for Animation
- 3D Modeling
- 3D Animation
- Post Production
In preproduction students are introduced to sketching and developing backgrounds and characters for the 3D Animation. Digital painting helps them to convert these dream sketches into Digital artworks which can suitably be drawn into Animation with well planned script and story boarding. The Preproduction lay the foundation to create amazing 3D backgrounds in 3D Modeling and Animation Modules to follow, where the students learn to transfer their creative imagination to 3D outputs in terms of Character modeling, Props, Environment and animating them manually with keys and simulation. No animated film is effective without scintillating effects and audio synchronization which will be exposed in their last module, Post production. Overall the students will be introduced to 3D Animation Film Making process and their production pipeline.
Intensive course on Animation (ICA) guides students and customizes the software applications such as Maya, 3DsMax, Mudbox, Motion Builder, Combustion, Photoshop and Premier to create effortless animation and make your imaginations come true.
How is DAG different from ICA
DAG is a Game designing course which focuses on Game art, its strategy, Level designing and various elements of games. Importance given on how to design, model and animate backgrounds and characters for Games and preparing Graphic contents for Gaming environment and its efficiency during interactivity.
