The Associate of Applied Science Degree Animation program provides instruction for creating animation, 3D modeling and special effects for applications such as animated shorts, movies and games, and rendering 3D environments. Fundamental drawing skills, interactive concepts, and the development of assets will be covered. Depending on individual choices and talents, students who complete the Animation program should be prepared for employment as an animator, a game art creator, a 3D visual artist, and/or a special effects artist.
Its original purpose was to provide a simple means of getting basic sound effects into a game for those people who were working hard to get their entries done within the 48 hours and didn't have time to spend looking for suitable ways of doing this.
The idea was that they could just hit a few buttons in this application and get some largely randomized effects that were custom in the sense that the user could accept/reject each proposed sound.
