Animation World News:Education
Savannah College Of Art And Design has purchased 30 licenses of Animo Ax-Cel 2-D animation
software, for use in the school's 14 computer labs. Two of the 17 faculty
members of the Computer Art Department will be trained on the software.
Department chair Malcom Kesson said "Using industry-standard software
provides the students with more marketable skills and easier penetration
into studios."
Silicon Studio/La Courses/Seminar. Silicon Graphics' Santa Monica,
California-based educational initiative, Silicon Studio/LA has announced
their fall course offerings. With 35 courses in 3-D Modeling and Animation,
2-D Imaging and Paint, Studio Technology, Editing and Compositing and Technology,
the program offers hands-on training in many of the software programs being
used in the industry, including Alias PowerAnimator, Wavefront Kinemation
and Dynamation, USAnimation, Softimage 3D, Houdini, Nichimen NWorld and
Discreet Logic FLINT. Ranging from $195 to $2,350 for each one to five-day
class, it is certainly an investment, but the caliber of industry-trained
faculty and high-end equipment available make the program a worthwhile
consideration for artists looking to get a grasp on these technologies.
Classes begin in early October. Visit www.studio.sgi.com for registration
