// ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Beyond the Basics.

Step beyond the fundamentals. The B.Sc in Advance Animation is built for storytellers who want to move pixels with purpose — blending high-end VFX, complex character rigging, and industry-standard production pipelines. You'll go from sketching keyframes to shipping render-ready shots that hold up on a cinema screen.

// CORE DISCIPLINES

What You'll Master.

01
💥

Visual Effects (VFX)

Master particle systems, fluid and pyro simulations, destruction FX, and green-screen compositing that blends CG seamlessly into live footage.

02
🦴

Advanced Rigging

Build complex skeletal structures, muscle systems, and facial blendshapes so your characters move, breathe, and emote with believable weight.

03
💡

Lighting & Rendering

Sculpt mood with photorealistic lighting, master ray-tracing and global illumination, then optimize render times without losing fidelity.

04
🎬

Character Animation

Bring performances to life through timing, spacing, and acting — from a subtle eye dart to a full-body action sequence.

05
🧊

3D Modeling & Sculpt

Create hard-surface assets and organic characters, then retopologize and bake high-detail sculpts down to clean game-ready meshes.

06
🎞️

Compositing & Grade

Layer render passes, pull keys, track footage, and finish with a cinematic color grade in a node-based compositing workflow.

// THE FOUNDATION

The 12 Principles of Animation.

First codified by Disney's "Nine Old Men," these timeless rules separate motion that feels alive from motion that feels mechanical. Every shot you create will lean on them.

// THE JOURNEY

Three Years, One Pipeline.

A structured climb from fundamentals to a portfolio-ready showreel. Each year stacks on the last, mirroring how a real studio production moves from idea to final frame.

Year 01 — Foundation

Drawing, Motion & Form

Build the bedrock: gesture drawing, anatomy, perspective, and the 12 principles in practice. Learn 3D fundamentals — modeling, UVs, and basic shading — while training your eye for timing and weight through classic 2D exercises.

Year 02 — Craft

Rigging, FX & Performance

Step into specialization. Rig characters, drive simulations, and animate full performances. Dive into texturing, lighting, and look-development while collaborating on short team projects that mimic studio departments.

Year 03 — Mastery

Showreel & Specialization

Choose your path — VFX, character animation, or technical art — and produce a final capstone film or shot package. Master compositing, grading, and pipeline tools, then polish a portfolio designed to land your first studio role.
