Students will learn processes and techniques to design their ideas into physical assets, and also managing 3D files (e.g. ZBrush) for 3D Printing. They will also learn to integrate basic engineering processes into these prototypes.

MOULDING & CASTING

Moulding and casting is a critical aspect of toy production and some aspect of product design. This skillset allows indie makers to make multiple copies of their genesis sculpt or asset.

TESTIMONIALS

“"Whoever you think you are, you are better. And whatever you think you can do, you are capable of more."
This is one of the first tenets I've learned at 3dsense: that an artist cannot be good without great attitude. The course is comprehensive yet rigorous, covering scope in the 1st semester and depth in the subsequent 2nd and 3rd semesters. Time is spent more on the learning and application of real, relevant industry skills like Zbrush, Maya, Substance Painter, Arnold, Keyshot, Houdini, Nuke, and more - and because the full-time classes are taught by industry professionals, new softwares like Marvelous Designer and Marmoset (during my era) are regularly being integrated into the school curriculum. This is a course for serious digital artists and you'll find no excess theory and no fluff or biz modules here. The course rewards those with the passion and discipline to take advantage of its resources, and the culture is one of experimenting, cross-teaching and sharing of constructive criticism to constantly improve one's work.”

“Love this school culture as student was very passionate about their work. Lectures were very helpful and once awhile school will invite exprience speaker from studio to share their experience. The student review session was effective as we learn the good point and the mistake from each other. I also got my current job in feature film industry through the connection with the school. Definitely a good choice of school if you are really passionate about this industry.”

Chong Sin Kian

“This is not just any school that teaches visual arts techniques and some 3D software. Here, you will truly experience what it's like to be an artist working in the production of film and games!”
