| Computer Animation Bachelors - Online |
It hasn’t been that long since “animation”
meant teams of artists working long hours
to make individual 2D cels. For most of the
20th century, that was the way animated ...show more »
shows and features were made. But the
21st century has seen computers become
essential tools for animators, with increased
processing power and more sophisticated
software combining to move the bulk of
animation from the cel to the CPU. Whether
for animated shows and feature fi lms, video
games, or as special effects in live-action
fi lms, computer animation is an integral part
of the way artists get their vision
onto screens. To become one of those artists, you’ll need
to understand the art, the techniques, and
the technology that professional animators
use to bring their creations to life. You’ll start
that process in the creative and collaborative
environment of our Computer Animation
Center. In this atmosphere, you’ll learn the
tools of the trade that you’ll need to become
a 21st century 3D Artist. «show less
