Hey guys, I''m french and i''m going to finish my five years of computer sciences study so i would like to know where in Canada or USA, can i find schools to learn IA, NETWORK and 3D engine programming? I''m not good in art & design but if there''re complete programs with IA, DESIGN and ... ; i''m also interesting :D Thx for your future answers

If you already have your bachelor''s degree or equivalent, then why not get a Masters degree with a focus on Artificial Intelligence or Graphics?

Call or email this guy: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~poulin/

Design as in ''geometric modelling''? Yes, call or email Demetri http://www.cs.utoronto.ca/~dt/

IA as in ''realistic character behaviour''? Yes, call or email Karan: http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~karan/

Thx i''ll try
I don''t know if my Maths knowledge is enough that''s why i didn''t speak about Master but I''m also interested :D

Whatever you do, don''t go to Art Institute schools in North America. They are the McDonalds of education.

So give me a good videogame school

I heard of GuildHall (Dallas, Texas) is it a good school?

www.nad.qc.ca -- Most of the animators at Ubi come from there. Very good curriculum for artists for games & feature films.

Just had a look at the site, not very impressive. Huge fee, very little actual maya or xsi time (which is what most really want and needs) The gallery was less than impressive to say the least. I feel sorry for UBI if it is true that most come from there. Look into some serious art schools instead, then have a google search for some art schools geared towards 3D near hollywood. Preferrably they work closely with CG studios as well. I heard ILM is only accepting interns from one of these schools but I could be wrong. In any case, I strongly believe that and working at home at every available hour you can get will get you further than that school above.

The best one is Sheridan College ( http://www.sheridanc.on.ca/ ), but its mostly geared towards CG films rather than games. ILM, Pixar and Digital Domain pick students there.
