Course Overview

As technology advances, the industry need for a qualified 3D artist grows. 3D content is used to tell stories, create characters and portray digital worlds that otherwise can only be imagined. 3D artists work in film, television, advertising, and video game production. 3D software such as ZBrush, Maya and 3ds Max will be the tools at your disposal. Along the way, you will learn to create content for the exciting growing industries of virtual reality, augmented reality, and visual effects. 3D Design ensures students have a solid grounding in all aspects of 3D including modelling, texturing, animation and rigging. It will introduce students to the 3D pipeline, the use of multiple software and a wide range of skills.

Course Structure

It depends on how many subjects you take, but as a guide, each subject is a 3-hour class + 1-hour own study. International students need at least two subjects (normal eight subjects per year).

You can take a max of 4 subjects/classes a week (Term of 14 weeks).

We have a multi-disciplined and hands-on approach to creative technology education. Our classes and workshops are small, so we can deliver customised tuition based on your level of skill and experience. We pride ourselves on knowing you by name, and take the time to invest in your creative aspirations.

For AIT’s 2023 intake, new courses have been introduced. Previously, our 2D animation, film, 3D animation, and game design study streams all existed within a Bachelor of Interactive Media. This gave students an introduction to a range of disciplines, before allowing them to focus on their chosen field.

We're proud of the industry-relevant courses that we've developed at AIT, and armed with proof of their success, we were able to receive approval to teach brand new bachelor and diploma courses.

Now, we will be offering dedicated bachelor's degrees and diplomas in 2D animation, film, 3D animation, and game design, alongside our ever-popular Diploma of Information Technology and Bachelors of Information Technology specialising in either Mobile Applications Development or Games Programming.

Career Opportunities

Beyond the obvious opportunities at big international animation houses like Pixar and Dreamworks, there are plenty of places where a skilled animator is welcomed. Visual effects now make up a major portion of the media we consume, whether that’s on the big screen in a cinema or a pop-up ad in our internet browser. The advertising industry uses a lot of animations, from friendly aliens selling insurance to wacky animals promoting breakfast cereal, and seemingly unrelated industries such as architecture and education often make use of animators’ skill sets.

Every time you see one of those pop-ups on TV to tell you what’s coming up, or an information visualisation with a voice-over that explains a complex topic, someone was paid to create it. Once you start looking, you’ll see animations all around you!

Career animators often don’t complete the whole process within a work, instead specialising in a particular step along the production pipeline. You might find yourself working as a character designer, storyboard artist or compositor.

Internship or Work Placements

Yes, we have internship opportunities available in the last term of your Bachelor's, and you must keep a good grade. We cannot guarantee if the internship will be fully paid and timetable in advance. On average, an internship is for 120 hours.
