What You’ll Learn
3D Animation brings visual ideas to life by creating objects, characters, environments and experiences with depth, form and movement. The 3D Animation program at Prism Multimedia develops both artistic and technical skills required for professional 3D production, covering modeling, texturing, lighting, rigging, animation, dynamics and rendering. Learners gain practical experience in developing 3D assets and animated scenes while exploring AI-enhanced workflows that support creative ideation, visual development, production planning and workflow efficiency. The course is designed to build industry-oriented skills for applications across animation, film, television, gaming, advertising, visual effects and digital media.
