FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
MPAV: Rigging & Animation is a 30-month, 1250-hour master-level programme dedicated to the technical art of character rigging and animation. It covers everything from basic control rigs to advanced muscle systems, Motion Capture, and short film production. It is one of the few programmes in India that treats rigging and animation as a unified discipline — rather than separate tracks — giving graduates a comprehensive understanding of the full character pipeline.
No prior experience is needed. The Foundation phase (12 months / 510 hours) builds all foundational skills from scratch — covering Maya, 3ds Max, Photoshop, After Effects, and core animation principles — before progressing to specialised rigging and animation work in later phases.
Motion Capture (MoCap) is the process of recording the movement of people or objects and applying it to 3D characters. In the Master + Portfolio Development phase, you will work directly with MoCap data in Maya — learning to clean, retarget, and integrate captured movement into character animations for film and games production.
AI tools are integrated throughout the programme. The Foundation phase covers ChatGPT, Google Gemini AI, Leonardo AI, Midjourney, and ComfyUI for VFX as ideation and reference tools. The Intermediate phase introduces Runway ML, Kling AI, Eleven Labs, and Clipchamp for production workflow acceleration.
Graduates are equipped for roles including 3D Animator, 3D Rigger, and 3D Layout Artist across film, OTT, advertising, and gaming studios. Rigging and animation specialists are in consistent demand as every 3D production requires rigged characters before animation can begin.
You receive the Frameboxx Certificate of Completion for MPAV: Rigging & Animation, a MESC-aligned industry certificate (MES/Q0503, Q0507, Q0701, Q2501, Q2502, Q3501), and individual software proficiency certificates for key tools including Maya, Arnold, and Blender.
