VFX and 3D Animation
Specialization | 57 Course Series | 14 Mock Tests

Welcome to our all-inclusive VFX and 3D Animation Training Program. This course offers a thorough introduction to the key tools and methods for producing high-quality visual effects, animations, and 3D assets. Designed for newcomers and seasoned creators alike, the curriculum blends core principles with advanced workflows. Throughout the program, learners will explore industry-leading software such as Adobe After Effects, Maya, Blender, Nuke, ZBrush, 3DS Max, Cinema 4D, Houdini FX, BlackMagic Fusion, and RealFlow, gaining hands-on experience with each application.

Throughout the course, participants progress from fundamental skills such as compositing and 3D modeling to advanced areas, including dynamic simulations and procedural workflows. Practical assignments and hands-on exercises ensure learners can confidently apply their knowledge, producing professional-quality VFX shots, animations, and 3D assets. Whether aiming for opportunities in film, television, gaming, advertising, or other creative industries, participants will acquire the technical foundation and creative confidence needed to thrive in VFX and animation.

This module introduces Adobe After Effects, a key tool for motion graphics and visual effects. Participants start with the interface, core tools, and basic operations, then advance to techniques such as keying, tracking, rotoscoping, and compositing. The module also covers recent updates to help learners incorporate new features into their workflows.

In this section, learners explore Autodesk Maya, a leading software in the entertainment industry. The module begins with character modeling, texturing, and rigging, then progresses to modeling environments, props, and vehicles. Participants apply industry-standard techniques to create realistic 3D assets and gain a thorough understanding of Maya’s modeling and animation processes.

This module covers Blender’s open-source 3D environment. Participants start with the interface and core modeling tools, then complete hands-on projects such as building a car, sword, and brick well. These exercises build skills in sculpting, modeling, and 3D asset creation with Blender.

Participants work with Nuke, a widely used node-based compositing tool in film and television production. The section covers the software’s primary interface, compositing workflow, keying, tracking, and rotoscoping. Through practical projects, learners strengthen their compositing skills and gain the experience needed to produce high-quality VFX composites.

This module covers ZBrush, the industry standard for high-resolution digital sculpting. Participants start with the interface and core sculpting tools, then complete practical tasks using DynaMesh and ZModeler. By the end, learners are proficient in sculpting intricate 3D forms.

Learners explore Autodesk 3ds Max, a leading 3D modeling and animation software. The section introduces advanced modeling workflows, including character creation inspired by the SHREK series. Participants then practice texturing, rigging, and animation, building the skills needed to produce complex, polished 3D characters.

This module introduces Cinema 4D, known for its advanced modeling, animation, and rendering features. Students start with the interface and essential tools, then move on to lighting, rendering, and animation techniques. Assignments such as looping animations and broadcast packages help participants create professional 3D visuals.

This section covers Houdini FX and its procedural, node-based workflow. Participants learn procedural modeling, destruction effects, cloth simulations, and dynamic systems. Guided projects help learners produce intricate simulations and high-end VFX shots.

This module introduces Blackmagic Fusion, a node-based compositing and motion graphics tool. Participants learn rotoscoping, masking, keying, and 3D compositing. Practical exercises build confidence in creating polished motion graphics and visual effects.

In this section, learners use RealFlow, specialized software for fluid simulation. They work with standard fluid systems and complete projects involving object dynamics, fluid behavior, and scripting. These tasks build expertise in producing realistic fluid effects for VFX projects.
