About the course
What the course covers
Animation and visual effects are behind the films, OTT series, games, ads and reels people watch every day. This track takes you from drawing and design basics to finished 3D shots — modelling, texturing, rigging, character animation, simulations, lighting, rendering and compositing — on the software studios hire for. You learn in batches of at most 12 at our Makronia, Sagar centre and work on live briefs from ScreenWork’s own studio, so you leave with a showreel, not just a certificate.
