VISUAL EFFECTS & ANIMATION

12 MONTH DIPLOMA (FULL-TIME)

CG ARTISTS TRANSFORM VISION INTO VISUAL REALITY.

The best CG artists, such as animators, visual effects artists or CG generalists, are adept not only in the latest tools, but also possess keen observational skills. Our curriculum focuses first on computer graphics fundamentals before diving into the advanced digital techniques used to create today's Hollywood live-action and animation productions.

Students will choose from three specializations: Animation, Modeling or Visual Effects. Our Animation specialization focuses on bringing digital characters to 'life' through utilizing tools such as the 12 Principles of Animation, while Modeling trains students in creating photorealistic assets, and Visual Effects focuses on digital simulations, lighting and compositing.

Potential Career Paths: Visual Effects Artist, Animator, Technical Director, CG Generalist and many more!

TESTIMONIALS

“This place is AWESOME! If you're into 3D art,games or film, this is the best place to go!

I've learnt so much from this school! The lecturers here are very experienced and up to date with the fast changing industry. They also stay back to answer our endless questions and patiently help all the students. I came in with no 3D art experience but they believed in me! I learnt so much, from modelling to rigging to simulating hair and more.

The students here are also very open and helpful. I've learnt alot from my friends here.

But TBH its pretty tough, there's loads of assignments and all BUT the breakthrough is in the stretch!! You will definitely be pushed out of your comfort zone and you would be improving tremendously!

There's also alot of good exposure! The school often organises talks with companies such as Lemonsky, Bandai Namco and many more.

I gave up my spot at a local uni to come here to pursue my childhood dream to be an artist. It was a big risk but no regrets! This school rocks! Anyway, "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all" - Helen Keller. If you're wondering if its worth the risk, IT IS! Hahaha.

If you want to change the world with your art, this place would equip you with the skills necessary to do so! :D”

“The lecturers were very competent, friendly and always willing to attend to any questions you may have. The easy-going and enriching atmosphere makes 3Dsense a great place to study, learn and grow as an artist. The management there is top notch as well, I did not run into any administrative complications during my entire time studying there.

Overall, my experience in 3Dsense was amazing and I really learned a lot both in my field of study and about myself. I highly recommend this school if you're interested in taking up the CG arts!”

“I made the decision to enroll at 3dsense Media School as part of my career change. The one-year 3D Animation and VFX course was intensive and challenging for someone without any prior background in CG. The learning curve was very steep but the payoff is more than worth it.

The lecturers push the quality of their students' works to meet industry standards and sometimes beyond. As such, going through the course was a huge commitment. Despite the hard work and long hours spent on school assignments, the school culture played a key part in my learning experience. Everyone is encouraged to share opinions and resources, and to be open to critiques because that's the best way to improve.

The school has proven itself to be a resourceful and well-connected institution within the industry with its artist-lecturers and talks/masterclasses from industry professionals. As a student, I was always assured that the school will be doing its best to help us even after graduation.

I would recommend anyone with a passion and/or interest to join this school. Even if it's just curiosity about the industry and you would like to find out more, they are not pushy and will put the prospective student's interests and concerns first.”
