Koliko Training – 3d Animation – Ghana

29 April-24 May 2024: Koliko training by GOBELINS Paris is back again in Ghana for a 2nd edition at AnimaxFYB studios.

After a successful first edition in 2023, GOBELINS Paris and AnimaxFYB, with the support of Creation Africa Ghana, bring to Accra a new training programme to dive into the technicalities and creative aspects of 3D animation.  

The objective of the 1-month programme (part-time) is to impart in-depth knowledge of 3D animation using the industry standard software, Autodesk Maya. The programme will initiate participants into the world of Maya with an introduction to the fundamentals, including navigation and the basic principles of 3D animation. As the course progresses, participants will delve deeper into the mechanics of humanoid movement, focusing on jumps and walk cycles. 

The programme is targeting all creatives from Ghana and West Africa wishing to be introduced to 3d animation (beginners or intermediate level).
