Overview

You learn to analyze reference material image by image. Whether the character is an animal, a human being, an object or an alien... the silhouette, the emotion and the key pose you convey must be universal and credible.

But it doesn't stop here. You also explore the pipeline of 3D modeling and sculpting, texturing, rigging, shading...

At the start of the Digital Arts and Entertainment - 3D Animation Howest University of Applied Sciences, the foundations are immediately laid by teaching the student to draw anatomy and perspective. You will get an introduction to SideFX Houdini paired with a solid base of math that allows you to create spectacular procedural 3D content. You also get the chance to experiment with motion capture and photogrammetry within our high-tech greenkey studio.
