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 Painter, and composited in Nuke — building a demo reel from real, original work rather than templated exercises.

Animation & VFX Course — Amritsar & Jalandhar, 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.
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 focused demo reel from your best work across the course. A strong reel is the single most important asset for VFX/animation job applications, more so than a resume.
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. Remote and freelance VFX work is also common for graduates with a strong reel.
Yes — the same 7-month curriculum runs at both MITS Academy Amritsar (SRK Mall, Mall Road) and MITS Academy Jalandhar (65 Garha Road, opposite PIMS).
