Computer Animation Overview

The Computer Animation programs at Digital Media Arts College are multifaceted and specialized, readying students for the expanding role of the computer animator in the rich field of visual storytelling. Trained and qualified computer animators find themselves working in a variety of different and exciting capacities, including the creation of video games, films, architectural pre-visualizations, military simulations, medical and forensics renderings, and accident scene re-creation for law offices.

In the undergraduate Computer Animation program at DMAC, students are trained in the highly technical process of 3D animation production—modeling, texturing, lighting, animating, and rendering—as well as guided to explore their conceptual skills in the highly satisfying process of digital creation.

For students interested specifically in video game animation, we offer an undergraduate Computer Animation program with a Concentration in Game Art. Students use professional-level game development software to learn how to create their assets for the ever-changing gaming environment.

Our graduate program in Visual Effects Animation continues students’ pursuit of artistic excellence in particle effects, dynamic simulations, Motion Capture, and tracking techniques are explored.

From pencil to pixel, the Computer Animation faculty at DMAC instills in their students the teamwork that is the backbone of this competitive industry while providing professional criticism and deadlines.
