Program description
The 3D Modelling and Visual Effects Production certificate program at Humber focuses on both the intellectual and the technical aspects of bringing ideas to life. You will learn modeling, texturing, and lighting techniques, as well as visual effects, compositing, and digital cinematography. We use a teaching process and course structure in which content created in one course is used to complete tasks in other courses. This "pipeline" method is similar to that of industry, helping students to transfer smoothly into a real-world production environment.
The curriculum was created by artists for experienced conventional artists and/or anyone who is aesthetically and technically inclined who wishes to grow or transition their skill set for work in the 3D and visual effects sectors. The professors bring years of professional experience directly from the studio into the classroom. Their aggregate knowledge and passion in the game, television, and film industries is the driving force behind the curriculum, ensuring that it matches the industry's current and future needs.
