SUBJECT PROGRAMS
CAMPUS / ONLINE
SFFS Subject Programs are designed for students who want to go deeper into a specific area of CG, VFX, 3D animation, games, or commercial video production.
Each course provides intensive, focused training in a core discipline — modeling, rendering and lighting, animation, compositing, or FX — led by instructors with hands-on industry experience.
These programs allow students to build on their existing foundation, sharpen their portfolio in their chosen field, and prepare for a specialized career in the global VFX industry.
Students are grouped by level — those at different stages of progress are taught separately.
2D / 3D COMPOSITING SOFTWARE
NUKE
Nuke is the compositing tool of choice at the world's top VFX studios
— the software that takes every rendered element and turns them into a finished shot.
At SFFS, students learn Nuke as the final stage of the production pipeline,
developing the eye and the technical precision to make CG and live-action footage
feel like they were always in the same world.
