Overview

Make your mark in the game industry with the power of art and technology combined. Students apply their passion for art to create and animate environments, characters, textures, props and collision objects utilizing 2D and 3D platforms. They also develop the complex technical skills that make games not only move but also interact with the player to achieve a heightened sense of reality not to mention a more enjoyable – and educational – experience.

Game Art and Animation graduates from University Of Advancing Technology will be prepared for jobs such as character artist modeler and texture artist, character artist animator and rigger, environment artist modeler and texture artist, environment artist animator, mechanical mesh modeler and texture artist, and mechanical mesh animator and rigger.
