Are the basics on animation programs (maya, 3ds max...) taught or is prior knowledge of the programs required to take an animation course?

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@Aniamaze Prior knowledge is always helpful, but students will be taught everything they need during the course of the program. Thanks!

Do Visual Effects Artists learn to Model as well at VFS? If yes, what software is taught 3DS Max or Maya?

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@DarkSpringPoet Students in our 3D Animation & Visual Effects program will spend the first half of their year learning about 3D animation, modeling and visual effects. In the second half of the year students will specialize in one of those three disciplines. Typically, our students learn to use Maya and/or XSI. Hope that helps. Thanks!

What kind of computer hardware did you need for this reel? Did you use a renderfarm of some some sort or a single computer? Could I do this on a macbook pro with nvidia 330 512mb graphic card, 4gb ram and corei7 processor? I am an online computer animation student and have no access to my schools lab as of right now. Any feedback would be great

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@Ralpimp09 We are constantly updating technology at VFS, but right now students use computers with the following specifications:

Model: HP XW 8600

CPU: Quad 2.83 GHz Intel Xeon® E5440

Memory: 4096 MB

OS Version: Windows XP x64

Video: NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700/1700

Hope that helps! Good luck with your studies.
