These innovators will mentor you and critique you. They'll show you how to get in and how to get ahead.

You'll develop your 2D and 3D skills by studying art and design theory, modelling, animation, texturing, anatomy and drawing. You'll then build on these basics for an understanding of the video game as a whole.
