Hey hitsugaya_T
From what we've heard from our friends, they are enjoying animation and if you haven't checked our animation page yet, Click here!
There's a video showing what sort of things our animation students do.
Our friends usually ask why we don't do animation since we draw quite a bit and they try to encourage us to do animation but we're on Design Product so we're in a complete different area.
Feel free to ask any more question and we'll get back to you ASAP
Hope this helps a bit

Hey there
Ravensbourne offer free software and our animation students use MAYA and Adobe After effects.
Every term, Ravensbourne has a Enhancement week which is the same as a reading week and during that week Ravensbourne has free software workshops for only Ravensbourne students.
If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask.
Hope this helps,
Ahlia

Ravensbourne students get free softwares! So softwares like Maya, Adobe package, After effects, Zbrush, Mari and many more.
Hope this helps,

great thank you! and how about second years?
Hi, I'm due to start Character Animation in September at Teesside. Although I've only had an interview with one member of staff and had a quick tour, I can vouch that the facilities are astounding: I was blown away. Their sound recording studio and Green Room were brilliant. The tutors I spoke to seem very friendly and willing, and Teesside is (I'm sure) one of the Top two best Universities for their School of Computing (Which includes animation.) and in the Top 40 of the world!

In first year all animation students are taught the same stuff, you'll be taught about the human figure in workshops etc and you have the option to attend 4hrs of free life drawing classes each week. Those on the character animation course are expected to be more able as far as drawing goes as the VFX lot are more technically based
All the lecturers are awesome, if you have any issues with your work all you have to do is ask them for help. A lot of the drawing based work you do will be in the art and design building in their drawing rooms so you have the right equipment and what not.Original post by Hitsugaya_T
great thank you! and how about second years?
In second year the programs used are still the same and the time schedules. You learn more and brush up on skill sets, more development and exploration in the industry etc. Also get to work with clients.
Hope this helps Kay

Hello Kay does ravensbourne have the Mari texturing software?
Hi there, I'm one of the lecturers from Hertfordshire. In terms of software we teach Maya, Nuke, Mari, ZBrush, Photoshop and Premiere as the main software on the 3D course but also Houdini on the VFX degree. Here's an example of recent 3D / VFX collaboration work

Just as important as software, we also teach students to design characters and environments and understand colour and lighting.
