About This Program
The Advanced Program in Animation & VFX is built for students who want to master both worlds — animation and high-end VFX. This program is ideal for those who want to become cinematic artists, FX specialists, or generalists with deep production knowledge.
You’ll learn industry-standard tools like Maya, Houdini, Substance, and Nuke, and work through modeling, rigging, animation, FX simulation, and compositing — all while building a showreel aligned to real-world studio expectations.
