If you aspire to pursue a career in 3D, in industries such as film, Visual Effects (VFX), product visualisation, gaming, or advertisement, your first step into this world is to learn the fundamental principles of 3D.
Through a combination of engaging lectures and interactive workshops, you will learn the theoretical underpinnings and hands-on practical skills required to conceptualise ideas, model, UV map, create and manipulate materials, and texture 3D assets. In addition, you will acquire the essential skills to showcase your work effectively, in a form that meets industry expectations to boost your employability prospects in the future. This involves understanding the principles of creating digital cameras, lighting, rendering, and compositing.
