What the Training Teaches in Practice
Combining theory and applied exercises, the course covers the fundamentals and production processes in animation.
The content includes history of animation, production methodology and logic of animation, creation and production of digital animations, as well as 3D modeling and animation of characters, environments, and objects.
The goal is to present a simple didactic path for those who wish to begin or consolidate skills in the 3D universe.
Emphasis on Blender and Tool Repertoire
The program prioritizes mastering Blender, a reference software in the 3D ecosystem, while not overlooking other market methodologies and tools.
The approach aims for participants to be capable of planning, producing, and finalizing short animation projects, focusing on the autonomy to experiment with different pipelines and formats.
Faculty and Professional Experience
The teaching material was developed by Flávio Gomes de Oliveira, PhD in Art and Visual Culture from UFG; Guilherme Ferreira Mendes, motion designer and CutOut/3D animator; and Renato Galhardo Neto, a professor with experience in design, illustration, and 3D.
The composition of the faculty combines academic trajectory and market experience, reinforcing the technical and applied nature of the training path.
Applications in the Creative and Audiovisual Market
The training prepares participants to operate in multiple contexts of audiovisual and digital production: television programming, streaming platforms, social media, games, video lessons, and instructional content.
The goal is to enable students to navigate between formats and real demands, understanding both the fundamentals of animation and the use of contemporary software geared towards digital creation.
E-Learning Methodology with Accessibility
Offered in the Distance Education (EaD) modality, the course provides video lessons, reading materials, self-study exercises, and an interactive virtual classroom.
The environment includes accessibility resources, with an interface prepared for assistive navigation and viewing adjustments, expanding access and retention for diverse audiences.
