BECOME A 3D ARTIST
WHAT TRAINING TO FOLLOW TO BECOME A 3D ARTIST?
The 3D Film degree course trains students to become 3D Artists, from the creation of characters and sets to the most subtle visual effects. The first two years give students the skills of a 3D generalist Artist who can intervene at all stages of creating 3D images for film. Students learn how an image works, what makes it balanced and elegant: color theory, anatomy, framing... Mastery of these concepts is necessary to create narrative images. During the next two years of specialization students learn and master a variety of techniques and tools that are industry standards. During these two years, students hone their skills to the point of becoming experts. They create a 3D short film in a context similar to that of the industry.WHAT EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES ARE OPEN TO ME?
The 3D Film course prepares students for various roles in 3D animation such as: 3D Supervisor | 3D Animator | Concept Artist | Modeling Artist | Rigging Artist | Lighting Artist | Shading Artist | Storyboarder | Chara Designer | Technical Director | Digital Matte Painter | Previs Artist | Color Grading Artist | 2D/3D Graphic Designer | Compositing Artist | SFX Artist | Art Director | Sculpt ArtistENTRY REQUIREMENTS
It is possible to integrate the 3D Film program in 1st, 2nd or 3rd year. Candidates must hold a DES, DEP or DEC (or the French bac or a high school diploma) and pass the school admissions test: presentation of a portfolio, interview and written tests. To directly integrate the 3rd year of specialization, the candidate must, in addition, have prerequisites related to a generalist knowledge of 3D creation concepts (or have followed a training equivalent to the one proposed in 3D Generalist Artist for example). All the details are given in the Admissions Guide.WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE 3D FILM PROGRAM?
- Acquire the skills of a generalist 2D-3D computer graphic designer who can work in each profession of the 3D animation and special effects film and audiovisual industry.
- Develop knowledge in project management, management, communication.
- Work in a team, design, develop and produce a short 3D animated film.
- Develop creativity and sensitivity to the arts and the challenges of film production.
- Be familiar with all the steps of the manufacturing of a 3D film: scenario, visual development, storyboard, animation, lighting, materials and textures.
WHAT SKILLS WILL I ACQUIRE ON THE COURSE?
- Carry out banchmarking on the market and 3D animation productions
- Artistically supervise the development phase of a 3D animation project
- Manage and artistically direct the pre-production phase of a 3D animation project
- Manage and artistically directing the production phase of a 3D animation project
HOW AM I TAUGHT?
- Theoretical and practical teaching: lectures, application exercises, practical work, tutorials
- Production of projects: monitoring and supervision by teachers during the realization of projects (end of year project, final major project)
HOW AM I ASSESSED?
- Continuous Assessment (case studies, simulations, presentations, demonstrations)
- Project presentations (end of year project, final major project) in front of a school or professional jury
- Written and oral evaluations in English
- Professional experience report and presentation
IS THIS A WORK-STUDY PROGRAMME?
The first year of training is full-time so that students can prepare serenely for their entry into the industry. From the second year onwards, the courses are given at the rhythm of the work-study program, with compulsory validation of professional experience (internships, short contracts, etc.).WHAT QUALIFICATION WILL I GET?
The 3D Film program leads to the award of an AEC NTL.1C "3D Artist Specialization - Cinema".Program
