Remote Expanded 3D Animation Certificate — 252 Hrs SUNY Westchester Peekskill ● 27 North Division Street Peekskill NY 10566 ● 914-606-7300 3D Animation is an online, non-credit certificate program. It is an intensive course of study over two semesters beginning in the fall. The culminating experience will be the creation of a demo reel for their portfolio to show employers or schools in order to continue on their career paths. Demo reels will be exhibited in a certificate completion exhibition. This certificate program will take students through the 3D animation production pipeline and cover many facets of 3D creation. Frommodeling assets and characters to animating and final rendering, this certificate will guide you through the fundamental principles of 3D animation. Whether you are interested in film, video games, or commercial work, these courses will get you on the right trajectory. Prepare for an intensive exploration! Prerequisite: Basic computer knowledge. Students must register for the entire program at time of registration. www.sunywcc.edu/3d-animation-certificate MODULE I Modeling I for Animation — 42 Hrs This course will introduce students to creating hard surface modeling for environments and assets for production in Autodesk Maya. The course will consist of demonstrations combined with discussion and tutorials created by the instructor; in-class exercises and an assignment will be given every week. In addition, we will begin exploring texturing some of the assets created and look development with Adobe Substance 3D Painter and rendering with Arnold in Maya.

MODULE II Modeling II/Digital Sculpting for Concept and Animation — 42 Hrs This course will introduce students to creating organic characters and sculpture for production using Autodesk Maya and Maxon ZBrush. We will also cover the 3D printing process and print work. The course will consist of demonstrations combined with discussion, and tutorials created by the instructor, in-class exercises and an assignment will be given every week. In addition, students will continue texturing and rendering a character turntable for their portfolio. (Prerequisite: Modeling I for Animation). CE-DGART 2095PE Mon., Jan. 8-Apr. 15 (skip 1/15), 2024, 6:30-9:30 pm. Animation II — 42 Hrs As a continuation to Animation I, students will now look at creating basic rig setups to more advanced rig setups for characters and assets. Towards the end of this course, the class will focus on the importance of posing and body mechanics for animation. (Prerequisite: Animation I). CE-DGART 2096PE Wed., Jan. 17-Apr. 17, 2024, 6:30-9:30 pm. MODULE III Animation III — 42 Hrs As a continuation to Animation II, students will learn about creating storyboards, animatics, and creating an animation based on their own stories. Each student will create a mini 15 second animation with a pre-rigged character of choice. Students will also focus on the importance of using reference. They will be recording their own live video reference to help with timing and posing for their animations. (Prerequisite: Modeling II/Digital Sculpting for Concept and Animation). CE-DGART 2097PE Mon., Apr. 22-Aug. 5, 2024 (skip 5/27 & 7/1), 6:30-9:30 pm. Demo Reel Creation and Exhibition — 42 Hrs In this course, students will use the technical, drawing, and storytelling skills they have learned in the previous courses to produce their own unique project for their demo reel. It is expected that the reel will be of a high degree of finish regardless of the content. In addition, students will investigate survival skills and portfolio practices necessary to work as a professional, freelance, or independent computer graphic artist. Students will exhibit their final work at CENTER FOR THE DIGITAL ARTS GALLERY. CE-DGART 2098PE Wed., Apr. 24-Aug. 7, 2024 (skip 6/19 & 7/3), 6:30-9:30 pm. Exhibition: Mon., Dec. 2, 2024-Wed., Jan. 8, 2025. Come to Our Exhibition of Work by Past 3D Graduates!
