Advanced CGI & VFX
Overview
The 15-month course is structured in 4 parts: two advanced training modules, a dissertation, and a personal project.
The subjects of the training modules include Advanced Modeling, Texturing, Lighting & Rendering, and Advanced Animation & VFX.
A degree course that is not limited to a classroom training experience, but will give you an international life and professional experience!
On the path to an international degree, you will have the opportunity to study on the BigRock campus, just a stone's throw from the Venetian lagoon, and on the University of Chichester campus in England, crossing professional and territorial boundaries.
In the 15 months until you receive your internationally recognized degree, through classroom training, the performance of your personal thesis and a personal project done with a company, you will develop the skills that will accelerate your career.
The time to begin this journey across Europe that will lead to your degree is now, get on board with BigRock and the University of Chichester!

FAQ
Is it a recognized degree?
Yes, the university course is provided by BigRock and the University of Chichester, which will issue: INTERNATIONAL DEGREE of Master in Fine Arts in Computer Graphics.
Who can access the international degree program?
Who did the Master Computer Graphics at BigRock.
The University of Chichester recognises that BigRock's Master in CG provides all the basic knowledge needed to be able to tackle the course. It is therefore recognized as a valid requirement for access to the MFA degree program, subject to evaluation by BigRock itself.
Those who have taken a course equivalent to BigRock's CG master's degree, after an entrance exam provided by BigRock.
Those who have previous knowledge gained through experience in the field, subject to an entrance exam provided by BigRock.
Is there an admission test?
Yes, it is an exam consisting of:
1. Practice test of:
Modeling and Rendering in Maya
Rig and animation in Maya
Compositing in After or Nuke.
2. Oral exam with questions about the work pipeline.
Candidates who have completed our Master in CG in person will not have to take any exams, but their admission will be possible following a positive opinion of the evaluation committee.
Do classes take place in person?
Partially:
MFA module 1 will take place in person at the BigRock Campus.
The MFA 2 module, the personal thesis, will not be carried out in person but there will be constant discussion and support from remote teachers.
The MFA 3 module will be carried out face-to-face at the University of Chichester Campus.
The MFA 4 module, the personal project, will not be carried out in person but remotely or at a partner company.
In which language is the course delivered?
The course will be delivered completely in English, including the module carried out at the BigRock Campus and the personal thesis.
A B2 English certification is required to enter.

to demonstrate knowledge of the course requirements.
Requirements
Components, type, and standard requirements for a usable mesh
In addition, it is essential to understand the standard requirements that a mesh must meet to be considered usable, such as geometric consistency and proper surface definition.
Workflow and methods for a 3D pipeline
It involves knowledge of the different phases of the 3D pipeline and the methods used to fluidly transition from one phase to the next, ensuring consistency and cohesion in the creative process.
Rules and concepts of rigging and animation
It is important to have a basic understanding of the fundamental rules and concepts that govern these practices, such as creating virtual skeletons for characters and applying constraints to control the movement of objects.
Industry standard software
It is important to understand the interfaces of these software, their main functionalities and typical workflows in order to effectively exploit them when creating 3D content.
Nodal setup for shading a 3D model
It is important to have a basic understanding of how to create a proper nodal setup within a shader editor to achieve desired effects such as reflections, refractions, bump mappings, etc.
Lighting and rendering for the lookdev pipeline
This point covers a basic understanding of lighting concepts, such as light intensity, direction, shadows, and reflections, as well as rendering concepts, such as image resolution, depth of field, and antialiasing quality.
Selection of the software to be used to complete the assigned work
This could include choosing modeling software to create the basic mesh, animation software to add motion to the characters, rendering software to generate the final image, etc.
It is important to be able to assess the needs of the project and select the software best suited to meet those needs.
