Overview

Through the Digital Art and Animation course from DigiPen Institute of Technology you’ll graduate with the tools to translate your ideas into powerful, affecting imagery — and a new way of looking at the world around you.

As a student in the BFA in Digital Art and Animation degree programme, you will both learn and practice the many roles that make up the art production pipeline for games and animation.

Career opportunities:

Character Artist

The role of the character artist can involve or incorporate a number of specialized roles, including modeling, texturing, rigging, and more. Their job is to create the actual 3D or 2D character assets that populate the games we play — relying on the fundamentals of anatomy, locomotion, and visual storytelling.

Environmental/Asset Artist

Environmental/Asset artists create and build the interactive worlds and spaces of video games, as well as the props and objects found within.

Animator

The animator brings life and motion to the creatures, characters, and environments in a game or film — in a way that is accurate and believable. Similar to a character or environmental artist, the day-to-day work or specialized role of an animator can take many forms, however, the foundation remains the same.
