FACULTY AND SCHEDULE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE Register Early in Order to Secure a Seat! www.sunywcc.edu/locations/peekskill/credit-classes This summer some courses will be offered remotely but that does not mean we will not be providing you with a high level of technical support from a team that specializes in arts technology based education. Our Lab Manager, Myron Mock Yen, and our Senior Technician, Emmanuel Jaquez, are here for you. Our technical team can troubleshoot your hardware and software problems and support Brightspace and Zoom, too. Much of our software including Adobe Creative Suite will be available remotely through the college’s IT department or is freely available through the internet. Please contact the help desk for more information or Myron Mock Yen. myron.mockyen@sunywcc.edu emmanuel.jaquezreyes@sunywcc.edu helpdesk@sunywcc.edu Hardware Update The Center for the Digital Arts has seven MakerBot 3D printers for use in our digital classes. These printers use PLA Filament, a nontoxic resin derived from field corn. PLA Filament is easy to use and performs well on most prints. The center’s five post-production studios are outfitted with powerful iMac workstations and one with the new Microsoft Surface Studio machines, which are available for students taking digital filmmaking, digital imaging, web design, graphic design, game design, and animation classes. Our Mixed Reality program also introduced the Oculus Rift S headset to the center for VR development. Software Update The center uses Autodesk® Maya® with Arnold, Maxon ZBrush, and Substance Painter for our cuttingedge software offering in our 3D Animation certificate. Maya is used by many digital media companies for 3D content creation and animation. ZBrush is a high-end 3D modeling, painting, and texturing software application used primarily for character design. Substance Painter is a dedicated 3D texturing application used in the film and gaming industries to further compliment the 3D design workflow. We are using Sketch for our UX design certificate. Sketch’s fully vector-based workflow makes it easy to create beautiful, high-quality artwork from start to finish. Our digital arts studios provide the latest version of Adobe Design Creative Cloud software. The facility offers current versions of Final Cut Pro and Adobe After Effects in our filmmaking studios. Our new Mixed Reality certificate will run on the Unity design engine, capable of AR/VR development as well as 2D/3D game design.
