Motion Graphics

Animating text, graphics and design elements for titles, advertisements, explainers and social media.

3D and animation

Understanding CG Pipeline

How a computer-generated shot moves through stages, from building a model to the final output, and how each stage hands work on to the next.

Textures and Details

Adding the surface colour and detail that make a 3D model read as wood, metal, fabric or skin.

Rendering and visual effects

Rendering and Post Processing

Turning a scene into final frames, then refining colour and finish in post processing.
