Spp3 - Kingston University London 8

This course would probably suit more virtual environment students but I don't care because I like learning/want to learn new skills. Kingston University has a Masters course called 3D Computer Generated Imagery.

What you will study?
In the introductory part of the course, common across all DMI courses, you will develop a specialised practice of your own whilst participating in digital media team production processes such as iterative design and agile development, along with project management skills.

The second part of the course is shared with the Games Development MA/MSc students and develops a portfolio of project work including modelling skills, shading, lighting, rendering, animation and rigging and associated skills such as rotoscoping and match moving.

In the specialist modules there is a strong emphasis on digital modelling and texturing with the option of character rigging, and developing innovative project work that can be produced in collaboration with other students from across the whole suite.

For your final project you will take a professional role (e.g. shading/texture supervisor, digital painter, shading TD, texture artist/texture painter etc.) in a team with students from the other courses to produce a professional piece of work.

The course has a strong industry panel including Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, DreamWorks and Samsung Design Europe, this is a bonus. But the course offers a door to good internships and work placements. Being in London I think that that would be very very useful.

I have read through what the modules consist of and from looking at them they have a varied tasks, but they have included mobile computing which is interesting seeing as this course is computer imagery.

I don't think I will apply for this course however the whole aim of the course itself really interests me and the subject is something that I would like to pursue in the future perhaps when I have finished university.
