During your first year, you'll learn 3D modelling and texturing skills for environmental art in the Unreal games engine, art and design principles, and visual art theories. You’ll develop your understanding of shape, form, volume and anatomy through life drawing and fundamental art skills. There are also optional modules such as hand-painted texturing, animation and motion capture, or 3D engines.
In Year 2, you will learn digital sculpting techniques to create game characters using ZBrush, and creating environments using a combination of ZBrush, 3DS Max, Photoshop and the Unreal engine. You’ll also develop an understanding of game production through being a games artist for a group game development project.
In the final year of your degree, you’ll continue to compile your portfolio and further develop your portfolio skills with Advanced 3D Modelling. We will guide you in developing specialist skills for your individual career path, which will be vital in securing your first job. You will also be a senior member of a collaborative games development team which will prepare you for working in the industry.
