SOFTWEAR & TOOLSET
Focuses on mastering an integrated ecosystem of industry-leading applications, primarily centered around the Adobe Creative Cloud for 2D excellence and Blender or Cinema 4D for 3D depth. Students achieve technical proficiency in Adobe After Effects for complex motion choreography and compositing, while utilizing Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to prepare vector and raster assets for animation. The curriculum increasingly emphasizes cross-platform workflows, teaching students how to bridge these creative tools with real-time engines like Unreal Engine 5.5 for high-end rendering or Rive for interactive, lightweight web animations. Beyond mere button-pushing, this stage of the course ensures that designers can navigate technical requirements such as expressions (coding), plugin integration, and optimized rendering pipelines to produce high-fidelity content for any digital medium.

Course Rules
· Attendance Policy: Participation is mandatory; exceeding a 15% absence rate will result in an automatic failure of the course.
· Grading Criteria: Final grades are calculated based on a combination of consistent attendance, completion of practical assignments, and the quality of the final project.
· Punctuality & Professionalism: Arriving late or leaving early frequently is often penalized as a partial absence. Students are expected to treat the classroom like a professional studio, maintaining high standards of conduct and communication.
· Submission Deadlines: Late submissions for assignments or the final project are generally not accepted or are subject to significant grade deductions unless an official medical excuse is provided.
· Originality & Academic Integrity: All motion assets, animations, and project files must be the student's original work. The unauthorized use of AI-generated assets or "stealing" project templates without significant modification is strictly prohibited and can lead to immediate disqualification.
· Hardware & Software Requirements: Students must ensure their personal workstations meet the 2026 technical specifications for rendering (typically requiring high-end GPUs and 32GB+ RAM) to prevent project delays during the final rendering phase.
· In-Class Engagement: Active participation in peer critique sessions is often a mandatory component of the "Attendance" grade, requiring students to provide constructive feedback on others' work.
