3D Graphics and processing essentials for video games

UVic Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science – in partnership with DigiBC, the creative technology industry association of British Columbia – is pleased to offer the Micro-credential program 3D Graphics and Processing Essentials for Video Games.

You will acquire knowledge and in-demand skills required in BC’s thriving digital media and gaming industry in BC. Build on your existing understanding of computer science and gain the fundamental skillset required to develop and manipulate advanced, interactive 3D images used across the creative technology sector, including video game and extended reality application design and development.

The program will cover four key competencies:

  • Familiarity with the principles and core concepts of computer graphics, such as vectors and transformations, parametric and implicit representations (lines, circles), and rasterization.
  • Fundamental skillset in 3D computer graphics including graphics primitives, data structures, coordinate systems, viewing of graphical objects and modelling.
  • Ability to use relevant software tools, such as unreal, to generate and render computer graphics.
  • Understanding the role and importance of User Interface (UI) in the development and effectiveness of 3D computer graphics and rendering.

Upon successful completion, you will receive:

  • A certificate of completion from the University of Victoria Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science and DigiBC.
  • Equivalent credit towards a 1.5-unit graphics and gaming-based course at UVic.
  • Credits towards entry-level certificates issued by professional associations and industry, such as Unreal Engine certifications, to prepare for higher level credentials.
