Professional Development

The Academy of Interactive Entertainment is offering Industry experience days for students and teachers in professional game development and 3D animation.
Melbourne 1 and 3 October 2007
These one day programs provide a chance to find out first-hand what it takes to work in a professional game development studio and give hands-on experience in how to develop digital content used in games.

Guided by game industry veterans from the Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE), participants will create and take away a 3D animation, digital object (environment asset) for a game level - using the same software that industry uses. Teachers attending the program will also receive tutorial guides for a complete set of game assets.
