Become a transmedia creator and XR specialist
You are the one who cannot answer “so what do you want to do” — because you want to do all of it, and nobody has told you that is a real answer.
Proof in 30 seconds
912 hours, thirteen applications and a degree pathway with an exit ladder: a certificate after year one and a diploma after year two, so the qualification is never all-or-nothing. We will name the awarding university here as soon as it is confirmed.

3D Generalist

Is this you?
Tap whichever of these already sounds like you — there's no right answer.
What you'll make
Grounded in this course's real modules and software — not a placement promise.
Month 1
A set of finished digital design boards and your first modelled, textured and lit prop in Maya — something small you can hold up on a phone and show a parent.
Month 3
A complete environment textured in Substance 3D Painter and lit twice: once in Arnold for a still frame, once in Unreal Engine 5 in real time. You will be able to explain why the two look different.
Month 6
A rigged character you can pose, a short animated sequence with a camera move, and a compositing pass in Nuke over your own render rather than over somebody else's plate.
Month 12
A space you built that another person can walk through in a headset, plus the identity system for that world designed in Figma and Illustrator. On the degree pathway, year one closes with a UG Certificate.
See it, don't just read about it
Switch layers on and off and change their strength: composition is a sequence of decisions, not one picture.

Brand-wide, MAAC India, brand-wide has trained 300,000+ students over 25 years — figures for the network, not a claim about this centre.
AI has changed these tools, not removed the need for people who understand story, composition, timing and craft — this curriculum teaches those fundamentals alongside the current AI-assisted tools of the trade, so graduates direct the tools instead of being replaced by them.
Class 12 passed. No prior drawing or animation experience required.
- Open after Class 12
- Open to graduates
- Open to working professionals
Most of this catalogue is a software and production craft, not a drawing exam — modelling, compositing, editing, level design and design tools are all taught from first principles. Where a course does lean on drawing (character design, storyboarding), it starts from basic shapes and construction, not raw talent.
