Learn How to Make 3D Animation Content at NYFA
The 3D animation camps and workshops at NYFA provide students aged 14-17 with an opportunity to learn the essentials of 3D animation. Throughout these programs, students study the basic skills of animation, including drawing, painting, storyboarding, and sculpting, learning under the guidance of NYFA’s faculty of professional animators and visual effects artists. Students will get hands-on experience and create their own short films, gaining an introduction to visual storytelling. NYFA currently offers in-person, on-campus summer camps and weekend workshops. We also offer online programs on a seasonal basis.
3D Animation Summer
Camps: Level I
In the level one programs, students learn how to create their own original characters and environments, working through each step of a professional animation pipeline.
During these camps, students work with industry standard 3D Maya software to build their models and apply basic animation techniques, creating a short 60-90 second animated clip. While some of our teen camps offer level two programs, our 3D Animation programs are currently available as level one programs only.
