The Digital Arts area is technologically and creatively state-of-the-art. We use Wacom drawing tablets and Cintiq tablet-monitors, Apple and PC machines, animation tables, a professional-level capture station for digitizing hand-drawn animations, as well as several Oculus for virtual reality development. We also use industry-standard software such as the Adobe Suite, Toon Boom Harmony, Maya, Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Marmoset Toolbag, and Unreal Engine among others.
The program develops your proficiency in industry-standard hardware and software as well as your ability to solve challenges using traditional art skills like drawing, sculpting, color theory, and movement. Most aspects of professional digital art are fully represented through the use of traditional and digital techniques. These skills can be applied to over twenty different career paths, such as digital illustration, virtual reality design, 3D modeling, 3D texturing, 3D animation for film and games, 2D animation, visual effects for film and television, compositing, and many others.
With the rising presence of the gaming and film industry in Georgia, you will have access to a rapidly increasing number of employment opportunities.
Internships are one of the best ways to gain hands-on skills while learning real-world applications and techniques in the digital arts industry. Interact with creative minds, problem-solve, learn new processes, network, and gain opportunities to hone your critical thinking.
