⇑Why choose the Multimedia – 3D Animation specialisation at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology?

Dlaczego warto studiować w Polsko-Japońskiej Akademii Technik Komputerowych

Why study it:

Programme: the technical process of 3D animation
Labs: 3D animation and graphics laboratory
After graduation: film, television and games

Multimedia – 3D Animation is a specialisation within the Computer Science programme, a full-time Bachelor's course taught in English at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology (PJAIT). It is for those who want to understand the technical side of creating 3D animation and visual effects.

Programme: the technical process of 3D animation

You learn the basics of video and computer image processing and of 3D animation techniques. You are able to prepare a 3D model for animation and to give technical support while a professional animator works on a character. Knowing the whole technical process, you can control how 3D animation and post-production special effects are created, and launch and supervise the systems used to produce them. Specialisation subjects are Multimedia Project Delivery and Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.

Labs: 3D animation and graphics laboratory

The laboratory focuses on technologies for cinema and television, animation and rendering, and offers:

latest-generation computers
a 3D scanner for scanning busts together with their texture
a hand-held 3D scanner
a haptic touch interface
its own BlueBox

After graduation: film, television and games

Graduates find work in film, commercial and television production and in special effects post-production. They can also work in computer game programming and other multimedia applications, for instance by creating elements for games. Thesis topics include producing an animated film with 3D graphics and creating content for computer games.

⇑Definitions and quotes

Animation

Animation is a dynamic medium in which images or objects are manipulated to appear as moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. Today most animations are made with computer-generated imagery (CGI). Computer animation can be very detailed 3D animation, while 2D computer animation can be used for stylistic reasons, low bandwidth or faster real-time renderings. Other common animation methods apply a stop motion technique to two and three-dimensional objects like paper cutouts, puppets or clay figures. The stop motion technique where live actors are used as a frame-by-frame subject is known as pixilation.

Wikipedia

Multimedia

Multimedia is content that uses a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, video and interactive content. Multimedia contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material.

Animation

It's computer animation. It's a new industry. It has limitations: It doesn't do skin, hair and clothing real well. ``Take away skin, hair and clothing and you have crabs and insects.

Animation

The temptations and pitfalls are to go too far -- to exaggerate too much and just put things on the screen because you can put them in. To me, the most important thing is the characterization: to know them, to understand them and appreciate them. The effects are just to allow you to depict the characters as WELL and vividly as possible.

Any story can be told in animation…I’m hoping someone will try to tell a story that’s brand new…not one that’s similar to every other story we’eve seen.
