Whether you’re starting online or in person at our North Vancouver campus, any of our signature programs (or the 16-week CG Fundamentals program) begins with a 16 week term designed to introduce you to the basics of 3D Modeling, Texturing and Lighting. This term culminates in the Term 1 Final Project. And for the amount of time students are given to learn the software and produce these assets, these projects have become a stepping stone to more advanced education and the intense pace of working in the CG industry.
About the contest
Term 1 Final Projects that are properly rendered and submitted in time are put into one of four groups based on cohort size (3 for Think Tank Online, 1 for Campus ). Next, voting is done by a panel of Think Tank Faculty, Staff and Industry colleagues. Once the judging is complete, the winners are announced and the following scholarship prizes are given out:
1st Place: $3,000 CAD
2nd Place: $1,000 CAD
3rd Place: $500 CAD
Term 1 in one program
Held entirely online for 16-weeks, the CG Fundamentals program allows students to grasp the basics of CG art while building a fully rendered 3D asset. A great stepping stone to more advanced education, this program helps newer artists identify which part of the industry they'd like to specialize in. If you know a career in 3D is for you...check out some of our 64-week programs. All of them begin with a 16-week crash course in CG that includes the Term 1 Final Project. Maybe we'll see your work on the winners list like the one below!
