3D design includes everything from computer graphics for gaming, virtual worlds, augmented reality, medical and scientific simulations, data visualizations, motion and broadcast graphics, architectural and engineering modeling, instructional multimedia, museum exhibits, and more.

3D digital designers use their passion to create virtual elements featured in everything from games and movies to visualizations and augmented reality. Vehicles, avatars, lighting, and environments are all designed to imagine something new, visualize an idea, or simulate a process. As you progress through the program you will discover new applications for your skills in creating with this advanced software. As a program in a university setting, ample opportunity exists to collaborate with engineers, musicians, scientists, animators, and medical professionals which means that you will have opportunities to put your 3D digital design abilities to use while you are at RIT and when you graduate.

From day one, the students in the 3D digital design major use professional 3D software in game design, virtual reality, medical and scientific simulations, data visualization, models for architects and engineers, movies, motion or broadcast graphics, instructional media, and more. In addition to the 3D software students use motion and facial capture, projection mapping, and 3D printing. Traditional design skills are augmented with principles of time, motion, lighting, rendering, and compositing to create inspiring projects. Alumni work in top companies around the country and the world applying the skills they have learned to design solutions to all kinds of problems.
