With the purpose of meeting the continuous demand for specialized 3D character animators and the great need for visual effects artists, VIA University College, The Animation Workshop (TAW, VIA UC) conducted the two training activities 3D Character Animation in the spring and Visual Effects in the fall 2019 (3DCA & VFX).3DCAThe 3DCA course took the participants through a series of lectures, assignments and mini-productions of increasing complexity in the field of 3D character animation, from concept to polish. Under the supervision of guest teachers who are all international and European animation professionals, the participants were introduced to the Maya modelling and animation software and to 3D character animation through a series of exercises designed to transfer the classical 2D animation principles onto a 3D platform. Focus was on the basic animation principles, body mechanics and physical action during basic training and then moved on to the advanced concepts of pantomime acting and dialogue animation. The course culminated in a 4,5-week final project, each student’s showreel masterpiece; a 20-30 seconds animated short film.VFXThrough the VFX course, participants got an understanding of the whole VFX pipeline and gained the right knowledge, skills, and confidence as VFX generalists. The VFX course equips highly creative computer graphics professionals with the knowledge and skills to create photorealistic computer graphics and integrate them seamlessly with live action footage. This ranged from set extensions to vehicles, vegetation, and other assets, as well as matte paintings and projections. Participants worked with the industry standards for software while they created 3D assets, processed the assets through a VFX pipeline and integrated them into a live action environment. Throughout the course, participants worked on their own unique final project, a short live action scene with integrated CG elements. At the end, participants were guided in creating their breakdowns and presentations and received showreel advice, which better prepared them to start working immediately as junior VFX generalists for film or animation studios. |
