Specialization Program
3D Animation
3D animation focuses on the process of placing objects and characters in 3D space and manipulating them to create the illusion of motion. Objects are created based on 3D models that are assimilated in a digital environment with the help of 3D modeling tools. Or, real life objects. The world of 3D animation in Indonesia is currently growing rapidly and spurring young Indonesians to develop talents in this industrial sector. Especially after the metaverse became a hot topic in the tech world.
Digital Comics
Digital comics focus on the transformation of conventional comics (on surface media) into digital comics (on screen media) with changes in visual grammar (visual grammar, visual vocabulary, and production methods). The digital era of Indonesian comics began in the period after the 2000s. Due to the easier access to the internet, the use of realistic illustrations and cartoons can be used in a digital comic. Even digital comics have now been created in a sophisticated way.
