Media Cymru announces Adding Blender to your CG toolbox for VFX Training Programme (UK)

In the age of the boutique indie studio, Blender is becoming an essential CG tool in animation and VFX studios.

Programme Specifications

• This bespoke two week training course will give you a unique insight into using Blender for CG in a VFX studio, from modelling and texturing through to basics of animation. A week long introduction and deep dive into familiarizing you with Blender, followed by a week on a live project. In the first week, you will work in the Gorilla Academy studio, learning the essentials of working with confidence in Blender. In one intensive week they’ll quickly get you to a place where working with Blender becomes fun and second nature.
• In the second week, you will be supported by their experienced trainer to apply and practice using the techniques that have been learned in week one. You will leave the course feeling comfortable and confident in the Blender workspace. And another key skill to add to your CV.

Funding Information

• All participants will receive a training bursary of £100 per day to cover their time out of work to train. Travel expenses can also be claimed to support attendance.

• This 10-day course is open to any Welsh or Wales-based professionals working – or seeking to work – in the screen sector (games, animation, VFX, post-production and film & TV).
• This course is for people who have some CG experience in a VFX environment who want to enhance their software-specific skills. You will be asked to provide some evidence of your experience in the application, including a showreel.
