Imagine how far a creative genius like Picasso might have pushed the boundaries of art had he had access to the tricks and tools available to you today? Would Gaudi’s Basílica de la Sagrada Família have been finished in his lifetime had he discovered his over-ambition with a 3D printout? Digital design has opened up new frontiers for both static and moving images and made it possible for anyone to create beautiful, challenging or enigmatic designs. All you need is the right software and a course that teaches you how to use it. And that’s where we come in. Discover how to create photorealistic day or night scenes, get to grips with 3D models and learn how to print in three dimensions too.
