Intro to 3D Animation
Begin your Animation Journey!
Contrary to popular belief, modern 3D Animation isn't created by 3D software and computers. These are simply, "tools", not unlike the pencils and ink that helped create the Classic Disney animation we love and cherish. At Rocket Sky, we teach classical, fundamental principles and practices and apply them to today's 'Industry Standard' software, Autodesk Maya, all within our unique, "Simulated Production Environment."

The Portfolio Builder
Create your Demo Reel
3D Computer Animators use their portfolios, or 'demo reels', to apply to available animation jobs. Studios use this portfolio to decide whether you're qualified for the positions available. In this program, we focus on strong animation projects and exercises that will not only develop professional-quality skills, but help to build your 3D Animation portfolio, your ticket into the 3D Animation Industry.
The Portfolio Builder
COURSE OVERVIEW
In the Portfolio Builder Program, students will produce an array of professional-quality animated scenes to build a professional-quality 'demo reel'.
A great portfolio should showcase your skills with both action and acting scenes, and within our 'Simulated Production Environment', students will become incredibly skilled, all while conditioning themselves for working in the real world.
TOPICS LEARNED
-
Always a focus on fundamental Classical Principles
-
Emphasis on strong posing, weight, balance, composition, appeal, timing and spacing.
-
Action animation- cycles, athletics, etc, to showcase skills with action.
-
Character Performance- A strong emphasis on acting, or 'performance'. Here we learn how to plan a scene, find and utilize reference and experience a 'Production Pipeline' that mimics a real-world animation studio. The results are the finest quality animation and a true preparedness for the Animation industry. And the portfolio to showcase your skills.
