01Try it

Art is only half of a game.

A game has rules, a goal and feedback. Use the arrow keys or the buttons to collect the coins: a character, a world and a score are already a game.

They play it.You could build it.

A player only sees the game. Everything on that screen was decided by a designer first: where the walls stand, how the weapon looks, what the health bar tells you.

07FAQ

Questions,answered.

  • Yes. Films, OTT platforms, games, advertising, e-learning and social media all need animated content, and studios across India keep hiring skilled artists. A strong portfolio matters more than a degree.

  • No. Drawing helps, and we teach it from the basics, but many roles in 3D, VFX, editing and motion graphics depend more on timing, observation and practice than on sketching talent.

  • Anyone who has passed 10+2 in any stream can join our programmes. Graduates and working professionals who want to switch careers are welcome too.

  • Yes. Our placement cell runs portfolio reviews and mock interviews, and introduces graduating students to studios, agencies and production houses.

  • Of course. Message admissions and we'll book a free demo class and campus visit at a time that suits you.
