Working in 3D is all about spatial awareness, geometry and math skills. As we develop into texturing you will also learn to effectively work with colors, lights and shadows to create shapes and details that stand out.

And then as we dive into animations and rigging you will develop a skillful eye and sense for pace, poses, weight and expressions much similar to the art of dancing.

These three talents combined are what brings digital worlds and characters to life, and can enable you an early career in the games industry.
