Animation & VFX
3D animation, visual effects, and cinematic compositing — from character design to final render
A complete pipeline course covering 3D animation and visual effects the way real studios work: concept art and character design first, then 3D modelling, texturing, rigging, and animation, and finally FX simulation and compositing for film-quality shots. Students move from pencil and Photoshop to full 3D scenes built in Maya, textured in Substance 3D Painter, and composited in Nuke — building a tight, recruiter-ready demo reel from real, original work rather than templated exercises. Trained on the same current industry versions used at real studios — Maya 2026, Substance 3D Painter, Houdini, and Nuke 17 — plus the AI-assisted texturing, rotoscoping, and upscaling tools now part of everyday production workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Animation & VFX Course — Amritsar, Jalandhar & Ludhiana, Punjab
₹48,000–₹68,000 for the full 7-month programme, depending on the batch and payment plan. EMI options available — call for the current Final Pricing List. Prices mentioned are indicative and may vary based on the course structure and requirements — customised courses are also available on request.
No — Month 1 starts from visual fundamentals (perspective, colour theory, character design basics) assuming no prior art training. What matters most is consistent daily practice, since animation and VFX skills are built through repetition.
Graphic Design focuses on 2D visual communication — branding, layouts, social media assets. Animation & VFX goes into full 3D pipeline work — modelling, rigging, animating, and compositing for film/game-quality shots. If you want to work in film, VFX studios, or advanced 3D content, this is the deeper track.
Yes — Month 7 is dedicated entirely to assembling a tight 60-90 second demo reel from your best work across the course. Studio recruiters typically decide whether to keep watching within the first 10 seconds, so we teach you to lead with your strongest shot and include breakdown views (wireframe → sim → final comp) that prove your technical process, not just the final image.
Yes — training runs on Maya 2026, Substance 3D Painter, Houdini, and Nuke 17, the same current versions used at real studios, along with the AI-assisted texturing, rotoscoping, and upscaling tools that are now part of everyday 2026 production pipelines. Core skills like modelling, rigging, and compositing are still taught hands-on — AI is covered as a support tool, not a replacement for those fundamentals.
3D Animator, 3D Modeller, Rigging Artist, Compositor, Texturing Artist, or VFX Generalist roles at animation studios, VFX houses, gaming companies, and ad agencies producing 3D/motion content. Fresher salaries in India for these roles commonly start in the ₹1.2–4 LPA range depending on role and city, rising quickly with a strong reel and 1-2 years of studio experience. Remote and freelance VFX work is also common for graduates with a strong reel.
Yes — the same 7-month curriculum runs at MITS Academy Amritsar (SRK Mall, Mall Road), MITS Academy Jalandhar (65 Garha Road, opposite PIMS), and MITS Academy Ludhiana (Model Town).
B.Tech, BCA & MCA students — get an ISO-certified industrial training certificate for your university requirement. Live projects, internship letter, and placement support included.
