Want a career in 3D production? This is where it starts.
Combine artistry with the latest technology and get the skills you need to turn your creative concepts into compelling images that capture the essence of movement, bringing characters and scenes to life.
Learn techniques in character modelling, rigging and character animation, and use dynamics and particles, with cloth and fluid simulations, to achieve impressive visual effects. With sophisticated lighting and rendering techniques, create work with a professional polish.
You’ll use industry-based processes throughout the year, from creating conceptual artwork and storyboards to building a showreel that reflects your talent and skills.
On graduating, you receive the New Zealand Diploma in Animation (Level 6).
As a Houdini Certified School (one of only three in New Zealand) Yoobee graduates who use Houdini are eligible to receive commercial version free for 6 months to a year depending on the version you choose to go with.

"I spend my days freelancing and working on personal projects to keep building my skills. I love the freedom freelancing gives me, and even though it sounds a bit cheesy, nothing beats doing something you love."
