Our new course, Real-Time Animated Storytelling, is designed to help artists learn how to use Unity’s fast and powerful suite of cinematic tools for animation.

As a storyteller, you want to immerse people in a world of your own making. As an artist, you want to experiment and play, and you need the tools to execute on your vision, quickly and flexibly.

Unity’s real-time production tools, traditionally used for game development, make rendering time lightning-fast when you use them for animation in film, television, games and virtual reality (VR). This makes it easier for you to create animations rapidly – and see your changes and iterations immediately – while unleashing creative freedom. These techniques combined with the interactivity already possible in games are revolutionizing the way stories are created and shared. 

Real-Time Animated Storytelling is a course for artists to help them build the technical skills required for a career in animation. Unity is recognized as one of the most in-demand tech skills today, across industries, with a high forecasted growth rate. Students who choose to invest in learning Unity are future-proofing their careers in an increasingly competitive job market.

No programming required

This is a course built with artists in mind. Studios are searching for better ways to innovate, collaborate, and streamline their creative processes, and real-time 3D is making it easier. Unity is fast becoming a mainstay in the world of digital filmmaking.

In this course, you’ll learn how it’s done – from previsualization, to modeling, set dressing, cinematography, lighting and post-processing. We’ll even cover visual effects, audio and final rendering.
