If you feel a passion for storytelling and creating characters with rich backstories that are a part of vast and detailed worlds… then this cutting-edge course is for you. Taught by industry professionals, you will understand the character creation pipeline from concept to implementation, developing models, character rigs and FX.

You will have the transferable skills to work and support teams in both technical and artistic capacities across different outputs such as complex character simulations, and real-time and interactive production environments, such as virtual reality and other forms of interactive entertainment.
