Both the 2D animation course and 3D animation & game design involve the creation of dynamic and interactive environments. By learning these skills in PurleTutor’s animation classes, students can lay the foundation for a career in VFX and gain valuable experience that will be useful in their future endeavors.
In conclusion, many options are available for those interested in pursuing a career in animation, including VFX courses, Maya animation programs, animation degrees, animation classes, VFX and animation courses, and 2D animation courses. Choosing the right course will depend on one’s goals, experience, and interests. PurpleTutor can help students succeed in this exciting and dynamic industry by laying the foundation through our animation classes.
What will you learn in the course?
Our 2d animation classes cover everything a student needs to become an expert programmer. The course is more child-centric and allows students to develop several dynamic skills. They will gain tangible coding and game development skills through their JavaScript coding experience. Beyond that, they’ll discover new ways to deal with challenges and solve problems:
Students in the course learn:
- Create colorful art by superimposing shapes during the initial stage of our 2D Animation Course
- Create beautiful landscapes and drawings of intricate 2D patterns in JavaScript.
- Create an animation of sprites and develop interesting games like Platform Jumper Game, T-Rex Game based on the student’s level.
- Develop visualization skills by learning about the 3D coordinate system in Roblox.
- Learn Lua coding to control the player movement by writing code during the Game Designer course in 3D environment.
- Write Lua scripts using variables, loops, functions, and events.
- Build complex 3D Models and develop 3D scene building.
- Exploring Game Lighting and special effects using different types of light sources to enhance the visual effects.
Our animation classes are designed based on the age group and duration. Here are the two categories of the course as follows:
-
Age 9 to 11 Years (Young Learners Course)
-
Age 12 to 15 Years (Early Achievers Course)
Students will start with learning how to create animations and interactive games in a 2d environment using JavaScript. After 2D animation course in JavaScript, students will graduate to work in a 3D environment. The Roblox studio course ends with students creating an Obstacle game, Maze game, and Adventure game with added sound and light effects.
During our Roblox Studio Course, the students will start with a 2D Animation course and then learn the basics of 3D designing in the Roblox studio. Their skills will include creating 3D scenes and objects with sound and visual effects. They will also learn the basic commands of the LUA programming script to create different animations. The Roblox Programming class comes to end with the students completing an Obstacle game with various levels, a Maze game with a scoreboard, and an Adventure Game.
