Since its establishment in 1989 the National Centre for Computer Animation has conducted research of international significance and has pioneered courses in computer visualisation and animation.
The fundamental philosophy of Centre is that the field of computer animation represents the marriage between art and science and that practitioners in this innovative and exciting field need a good understanding of both the creative and the technical processes involved.
Computer animation is one of the most rapidly expanding areas of creative endeavour and technical development. Some of the more visible applications of 3D computer animation are seen in animated sequences in feature films and television, digital special effects in feature films, computer games, computer animated simulation rides and interactive virtual environments.
Well qualified professionals in this area are and will, in the foreseeable future, continue to be in great demand internationally and command substantial rewards.
