The 3D Animation & Immersion Bachelor
The aim of the Bachelor in 3D Animation is to train students for careers related to the 3D field in areas such as animated films, advertising, architecture, video games, and more. This program is part of a comprehensive 3D animation curriculum combining creativity, technical skills, and professional development.
After an initial integrated foundation year in applied arts, students then develop strong technical expertise through the use of industry-standard 3D software, including 3DS Max, Maya, Unity, Unreal, Substance Painter and Designer, ZBrush, V-Ray, RealFlow, Nuke, Marvelous Designer, Houdini, Marmoset, RenderMan, Photoshop…
To complement the technical aspect, the program also emphasizes the development of artistic skills through training in drawing and digital illustration, as well as graphic culture, project management, and teamwork.
The Bachelor in 3D Animation & Immersion enables students to master the technical, creative, and cultural fundamentals. It also includes individual and group projects, masterclasses, as well as learning experiences encouraging international exposure.
This 3D VFX Animation course offers students with a passion for virtual worlds the chance to join a program that will give them all the keys they need to successfully enter the professional world.
