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.
ZBRUSH
ZBrush is where characters come to life —
the industry's go-to tool for high-detail sculpting,
from creature design and anatomy to props and surface texturing.
At SFFS, ZBrush is taught as part of a complete character pipeline,
giving students the technical control and creative freedom to build work that holds up at production level.
