3D Animation for Video Games

At JRS College, our one-year 3D Animation for Video Games Diploma in Toronto equips you with the artistic and technical expertise to create immersive game assets and animated sequences. You’ll develop both 2D sketching and 3D pipeline skills—concept art, modelling, texturing, rigging, lighting, and animation—using industry-standard software such as Autodesk Maya, Nuke, Mental Ray, and Arnold Renderer. Through life drawing, technical rigging labs, and production design studios, you’ll master animation principles and build a professional demo reel. Hands-on projects and real-world case studies ensure you graduate ready for roles in game development, cinematics, and animation studios.

• Foundational Art & Life Drawing: Strengthen anatomy, gesture, and form to inform realistic character animations.

• Technical Direction & Rigging: Build skeletons, expressions, and control systems for 3D characters and props.

• 3D Production Design: Create game-ready models, environments, and textures with sculpting, lighting, and rendering workflows.

• Principles of Animation: Apply classical timing, weight, and performance techniques in sequential coursework (Animation I & II).

• Concept Art & Visual Storytelling: Develop storyboards, character concepts, and production artwork for game pipelines.

• Advanced Lighting & Look Development: Craft polished visuals through shader authoring, compositing, and color grading.

• Industry-Standard Software: Gain proficiency in Maya, Nuke, Mental Ray, Arnold, and complementary tools.

• Professional Portfolio & Demo Reel: Culminate your training with a showcase of polished animations and game sequences for prospective employers.
