Maya 是目前世界上最为优秀的三维动画的制作软件之一，主要是为了影视应用而研发的，所以在出世后不久就在《精灵鼠小弟》、《恐龙》等这些大片中一展身手。除了影视方面的应用外Maya在三维动画制作，影视广告设计，多媒体制作甚至游戏制作领域都有很出色的表现。初识Maya 是目前世界上最为优秀的三维动画的制作软件之一，它是Alias|Wavefront公司在1998年才推出的三维制作软件。虽然相对于其他老牌三维制作软件来说Maya还是一个新生儿，但Maya凭借其强大的功能，友好的用户界面和丰富的视觉效果，一经推出就引起了动画和影视界的广泛关注，成为顶级的三维动画制作软件。

As a successful and respected CG academy, Escape Studios is a proving ground for a new generation of computer graphics stars breaking into film, TV, games and commercials. Escape Studios is not like other schools. We don’t practice theoretical exercises. We skip the history lessons and focus on results. Our courses teach you one discipline, in-depth over a short time period. Through intensive hands-on practical workshops, designed with a single goal in mind – we give our students the skills, experience and confidence (not to mention the demo reel) to help them succeed in the world of computer graphics.

To succeed, you’ll need talent, personal and financial commitment, an imagination, hard work ethic and belief. If you’ve got what it takes, Escape Studios gives you the knowledge and tools to prove it. This is where it all begins.

Our Philosophy:

After graduating with a degree and MA in Fine Art from the Chelsea Art School in London, Dominic Davenport pursued a career in VFX working for leading studios such as Glassworks, Double Negative and Me Company.

Through his own experience, Dominic realized the challenges young artists faced to obtain the technical skills required to work in this industry. The professional-standard computer graphics training he was seeking just didn’t exist. Dominic decided to make a change with his new project, Escape Studios.

His vision for Escape Studios was to fill the gap between what other schools were teaching students and what the industry required from graduates. While our vision is now much broader, our main focus remains to ready computer graphics artists for careers in industry. Dominic pioneers the company to this day with his creative spirit, defining everything we do.

Escape Studios continues to train young artists with the philosophy to represent, advocate and facilitate uncompromising excellence in all aspects of computer graphics.
