Overview

Programme details

3D digital designers use their passion to create virtual elements featured in everything from games and movies to visualizations and augmented reality. Vehicles, avatars, lighting, and environments are all designed to imagine something new, visualize an idea, or simulate a process.

As you progress through the program you will discover new applications for your skills in creating with this advanced software.

On your first day in the program, you begin learning and using the same software that professionals use in related fields. As a program in a university setting, ample opportunity exists to collaborate with engineers, musicians, scientists, animators, and medical professionals which means that you will have opportunities to put your 3D design abilities to use while you are at RIT and when you graduate.

From day one, students of the 3D Digital Design program offered by Rochester Institute of Technology use professional 3D software in game design, virtual reality, medical and scientific simulations, data visualization, models for architects and engineers, movies, motion or broadcast graphics, instructional media, and more. In addition to the 3D software, students use motion and facial capture, projection mapping, and 3D printing. Traditional design skills are augmented with principles of time, motion, lighting, rendering, and compositing to create inspiring projects. Alumni work in top companies around the country and the world applying the skills they have learned to design solutions to all kinds of problems.
