Course at a Glance
Overview
Animation isn't just drawing, and it isn't just software. It's a pipeline. An idea becomes a design, then a model or a drawing, then movement, then effects, then a finished shot. This animation course in Faridabad teaches that whole pipeline. You'll cover 2D animation, 3D animation, VFX and compositing, with motion graphics and AI tools along the way, using the software studios actually use.
Looking for an animation institute in Faridabad, or animation classes close to home? That's what Arena Animation Surajkund is. The programme brings animation and multimedia courses together in one place: graphic design, 2D, 3D animation training, VFX and portfolio building. It's an animation course after 12th for anyone who wants to work in animation, VFX, films, gaming or digital media. It's an undergraduate-level UG diploma in animation, so you can join straight after school.
Prerequisites: None. Drawing skill helps, but you don't need it to start.
Diploma in 2D Animation: What You Learn
2D is where most animators learn how movement really works. You start with drawing and digital painting in Photoshop and Illustrator, then learn timing, spacing and expression in Adobe Animate. By the end you've animated your own short 2D scene, from first sketch to finished render.
Diploma in 3D Animation: What You Learn
The 3D side takes you from an empty scene to a finished model. You model, sculpt, texture and render in Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush and Substance Painter, then animate and light your work. Our 3D animation course covers characters, props and environments, so you build the pieces studios ask to see.
