We hear of new technological advancements practically every day. There's always a new phone, computer, or now a tablet, with some sort of new must-have technology. One area that is constantly developing is film and TV with the rapid development of computer-generated imagery (CGI).

Graphic design and related fields such as digital animation, computer graphics and are constantly sought after in our technologically developing age.

These days many films, particularly children's films are being made with part or whole computer animation. James Cameron's Avatar broke records at the box office, its visual richness was enhanced further with 3D technology, and its stereoscopic filmmaking was seen as a breakthrough in cinematic technology.

For any animator, a short but in-depth course or a maya tutorial will show you how to further animation and CGI into further effectiveness by utilising 3D technology.
