3D Animation is a specialisation in Arts & Humanities. This intensive animation program transforms beginners into industry-ready artists through its studio-style training. Students work on professional-grade workstations with Maya, ZBrush, and Unreal Engine, building demo reels that showcase character animation, modelling, and rigging skills. The faculty, including working animators from Toronto’s film and game studios, provide insider knowledge about industry pipelines. Some students note the demanding workload (except nights rendering projects!), but the results speak for themselves – graduates have gone on to work at Ubisoft, Guru Studio, and other major studios. The program could benefit from more business training for freelance animators, but the technical skills development is outstanding.
