2018-2019 Program Requirements for APANID

3D Animation Arts (APANID)

Associate in Applied Science Degree

Description

The 3D Animation Arts program prepares students for entry-level positions in digital 3D modeling and animation for use in film, video, broadcast, video game design, visualization, advertising, print, and the web. Students will select a concentration in either Film and Broadcast or Game Art. They will develop ideas in the pre-production concept phase, execute them in the production phase, and polish them in the post-production phase to crease finished work. Through this process, students will develop critical industry skills such as storyboarding, modeling, texturing, lighting, rigging, animating, rendering, editing, sound engineering, and compositing. Ultimately, students will apply everything they have learned to create a demo reel that showcases their skills.
