The 6-Month Certificate Course in 3D Hard Surface Modeling is a specialized program designed to equip students with the technical and creative skills required for producing high-quality 3D assets for games, visualization, simulation, and digital media industries. The course focuses on core techniques such as 3D hard surface modeling, low poly modeling, texturing, surfacing, lighting, rendering, optimization, and real-time visualization, enabling students to create accurate and efficient digital models used in modern production pipelines.
Through hands-on training and project-based learning, students will develop the ability to design and build detailed mechanical objects, industrial products, vehicles, and environment assets optimized for real-time applications. The program emphasizes efficient workflows, asset optimization, and rendering techniques used in game engines and visualization platforms.
With the objective of skilling and empowering engineering students to join the techno- creative workforce, Toonz Animation has designed this advanced course to bridge the gap between engineering knowledge and creative digital production. Launching in the upcoming academic year, the program aims to prepare learners for emerging opportunities in gaming, product visualization, simulation, AR/VR, and digital content creation.
