What Our Animators Say
S
"I enrolled with zero drawing experience and zero knowledge of 3D software. The faculty at Reliance Animation Academy Ultadanga started from absolute basics and within 8 months I was modelling full character rigs in Maya. The live studio project in the final semester was something no other institute in Kolkata could offer — I literally worked on a real production pipeline. Got placed at Prime Focus World within 3 weeks of completing my Master track."
