Your Future Career as a 3D Digital Artist

You will be able to work in a broad industry fitting many different jobs, for example: animator, character sculptor, technical artist, VFX artist, mocap technician, environmental artist, texture artist, rigger and much more.

CGI is being used in more and more industries, and the demand for talented people is increasing both nationally and internationally.
