Animation

In the last 10 years CGI (Computer Generated Image) has become ubiquitous to the Multimedia Industry, from Doctor Who to Shrek to countless adverts worldwide, CGI allows for the creation of complex characters and environments without the need for sets, costumes or actors.

Using Maya, the industry standard animation software and Milkshape, a specific animation tool for Video games, young people can create anything from moving monsters, whirring machines or transformers!

When combined with the RollingSound Video Games course, this package gives young people unprecedented control over their game's design, allowing them to create complicated and impressive scenes where characters or scenery interact realistically with the player.
