We are accepting the applications for the next academic
session starting from 1st Aug 2024 at AMITY UNIVERSITY
Noida Campus.
In specialization modules, students develop professional
skills in their chosen field of specialization through
lectures, practical sessions and workshops conducted by
in-house faculty, visiting faculty and industry
professionals. Students showcase their conceptual and
technical skills in their respective fields of
specialization, by teaming up with students of other
specialization and working as members of a creative
team. As per NEP ,various electives are offered by the
departments providing students an opportunity to
experiment with areas of filmmaking other than their
chosen Specializations. While each department is
responsible for running the course of their own
specialization, students also work together to impart an
integrated and multidimensional learning experience. Our
Courses undergo constant revision every semester to stay
at the forefront of the emerging styles and techniques.
This evolution has made ASFD a richer, more diverse and
vibrant place to learn.
Course
Description :
3D Animation is a dynamic field that involves the
creation of three-dimensional moving images. This course
covers the fundamental principles of animation, digital
modeling, texturing, lighting, rigging, and rendering
using industry-standard software such as Autodesk Maya,
Blender, or Cinema 4D. Students will learn how to bring
characters, environments, and objects to life through
keyframe animation, motion capture, and physics
simulations. Additionally, they will explore
storytelling, character design, and the integration of
sound to create immersive visual experiences. The
curriculum often includes hands-on projects,
collaborative work, and portfolio development to prepare
students for careers in the animation industry.
Throughout the course, students will develop practical
skills through hands-on projects and assignments that
cover a range of topics, including:
Introduction to 3D Animation: Understanding the history,
principles, and techniques of 3D animation.
Character Design and Modeling: Creating compelling
characters and objects using digital sculpting and
modeling techniques.
Texturing and Shading: Applying textures and materials
to 3D models to enhance realism and visual appeal.
Rigging and Animation: Rigging characters with skeletons
and controls for movement and animating them to bring
them to life.
Lighting and Rendering: Setting up virtual lighting and
cameras to create mood and atmosphere and rendering
final images or animations.
Special Effects and Dynamics: Adding visual effects such
as smoke, fire, water, and physics-based simulations to
enhance realism and drama.
Career
Options:
- 3D Animator: Create character
animations for films, television shows, video games,
and advertisements. Animators bring characters and
objects to life through movement and expression,
using keyframe animation, motion capture, or
procedural animation techniques.
- Character Modeler: Design and
create 3D models of characters, creatures, and props
using digital sculpting and modeling software.
Character modelers focus on creating detailed,
realistic, and visually appealing models that are
suitable for animation.
- Texture Artist: Apply textures and
materials to 3D models to add color, detail, and
surface properties such as roughness, reflectivity,
and transparency. Texture artists work closely with
modelers and shader artists to create convincing and
immersive environments.
- Rigging Artist: Rig characters and
objects with skeletons, controls, and constraints to
enable movement and animation. Rigging artists
ensure that characters deform and move
realistically, and that their movements are
intuitive and easy to control for animators.
- Lighting Artist: Set up virtual
lighting and cameras to create mood, atmosphere, and
visual interest in 3D scenes. Lighting artists work
with shaders, textures, and rendering software to
achieve realistic lighting effects and cinematic
compositions.
- FX Artist: It includes the digital
effects such as explosions, fire, smoke, and
simulations of natural phenomena using particle
systems, fluid dynamics, and other simulation
techniques. FX artists work in film, television, and
video game production to enhance realism and create
immersive experiences.
- 3D Motion Graphics Designer: 3D
Motion Graphics Designers create 3D animated
graphics, typography, and visual elements for films,
television, web content, and advertisements. They
combine animation principles with graphic design
concepts to produce compelling motion visuals.
- Technical Director: Technical
Directors oversee the technical aspects of animation
projects, including pipeline development, tool
creation, optimization, and troubleshooting. They
ensure that production processes run smoothly and
efficiently to meet deadlines and quality standards.
- Creative Director: Creative
Directors provide artistic direction and vision for
animation projects, guiding the overall creative
process from concept development to final delivery.
They collaborate with clients, producers, and
creative teams to achieve the desired artistic and
storytelling objectives.
- Freelance Animator/Designer: Many
3D Animation professionals work as freelancers,
offering their services on a project basis to
clients in various industries such as entertainment,
advertising, architecture, and education.
Freelancing provides flexibility and opportunities
for creative expression across diverse projects and
platforms.
- 3D Architectural Previs Designer:
It consist of the skills and knowledge necessary to
create compelling visualizations of architectural
designs using advanced 3D modeling, rendering, and
visualization techniques.
- 3D Generalist: 3D Generalist
emerges as a versatile and indispensable figure,
equipped with a broad skill set encompassing various
facets of 3D production. Acting as a Swiss army
knife of digital artistry, the 3D Generalist
navigates seamlessly between disciplines, merging
technical prowess with artistic vision to breathe
life into diverse projects across film, television,
advertising, gaming & VFX.
