Linux training in mumbai

Arena Multimedia, the multimedia training arm of Aptech Ltd., has launched a multimedia training center in Mumbai.

Called Animation & Digital FX Academy, the studio is aimed at providing high-end digital entertainment training for the film and television industry.

The company aims at using the possible software like the Maya from Alias Wavefront, ANIMO from Cambridge, and US Animation from Toonboom, which would be supported by operating systems like SGI, Windows NT, and Linux/Intel.

The training studio, said Sudhir Mathur, vice president, Arena, "will feed the increasing demands of the entertainment industry, which is making a remarkable shift from the human characters to the digitally created three dimensional Stuart Littles."

Feature films, television series, commercials, post-production effects, Web animation, and interactive games are some the areas the institute is looking at.
