Overview
In the workshops at NYFA's 3D Animation & VFX School, students learn the fundamentals of 3D animation and visual effects using the industry-standard Maya software. Through hands-on projects, students study movement, weight, timing, character development, and much more, learning everything from how to perform basic modeling to creating their own original 3D computer animated film.
In the 12-Week Evening 3D Animation & VFX Workshop, students write, animate, direct and edit their own computer-animated short films. Following NYFA's philosophy of hands-on education, students learn a large amount and gain practical experience in a compacted timeframe. Topics covered include screenwriting, modeling, UV mapping, materials, lighting, rigging, animation, cameras, rendering, and editing and compositing.
