Computer graphics courses can help you learn 2D and 3D modeling, rendering techniques, animation principles, and visual effects. You can build skills in texture mapping, lighting design, and character rigging, along with understanding color theory and composition. Many courses introduce tools like Blender, Adobe After Effects, and Unity, showing how these applications are used to create immersive visual experiences in gaming, film, and virtual reality.
