Module 21 - 48 :
CHOOSE YOUR PATH -
3D Animation or Video Game
Great! You've Gained the Skills Needed to Specialize in focus area for training.
Up
until now, the five months of training (modules 1 - 20), has been
fundamental training that can be applied to 3D TV/FILM, GAME,
ARCHITECTURAL.
For the next set of modules you will have to choose
either 3D Animation Film Path or Video Game Design Path.
This is because the topics
discussed in modules 21 - 48 will be geared toward your path preference. To be prepared for
modules 21 - 48 you must take modules 1 - 20. You cannot access modules 21 - 48 without the prerequisites of
modules 1 - 20. Without modules 1 - 20 you will be very behind and confused.
