As Nigeria celebrates World Animation Day, the creative director of Omami Studio, a 3D animation hub based in Port Harcourt, underscores the critical role 3D animation plays in enhancing education. He believes integrating this technology into Nigeria’s education system can unlock children’s creativity and equip them with skills needed for the future.

Fostering Creativity Through 3D Animation
Omami Studio champions 3D animation as a way for children to explore their creativity beyond traditional subjects like mathematics and sciences. “3D animation helps kids bring their ideas to life, fostering innovation from a young age,” says the director. Omami Studio’s animation courses, available to young learners, allow students to develop visual storytelling skills, which are essential in today’s digital world.

Hands-On Learning: Bridging Theory and Practice
The Nigerian education system often emphasizes theory over practical application. 3D animation fills this gap by offering students hands-on experiences. At Omami Studio, learners use animation to visualize complex subjects like science and mathematics, making abstract concepts easier to understand. “Our 3D animation programs show how education can be fun and engaging,” the director shares.

Preparing Children for Future Careers in Tech
With the growing demand for digital content in industries like gaming, film, and advertising, 3D animation is becoming a sought-after skill. Omami Studio offers courses that prepare children for careers in these industries, focusing on both the creative and technical aspects of animation. “3D animation is not just about art; it’s about building future careers in tech,” explains the director.

Developing Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills
At Omami Studio, students learn more than just animation. They gain valuable problem-solving and critical thinking skills by working through complex projects. This practical approach allows children to break down challenges and think analytically, skills that are crucial in both academic and professional settings.

Promoting Cultural Storytelling
In addition to tech skills, 3D animation provides Nigerian children with the opportunity to share their rich cultural heritage through visual storytelling. Omami Studio encourages students to animate traditional folk tales and historical narratives, preserving Nigeria’s cultural identity in a modern format.

Conclusion: Omami Studio’s Call to Action
The creative director of Omami Studio calls for greater integration of 3D animation in Nigerian schools, believing it to be a vital tool in shaping the future of education. By offering affordable 3D animation courses, Omami Studio aims to empower the next generation of creative thinkers and tech leaders in Nigeria.

In today’s fast-paced tech world, many parents are eager to prepare their children for a future filled with opportunities in coding and app development. They see these skills as a surefire path to success, ensuring financial security and relevance in a rapidly advancing digital age.

However, this focus on tech skills alone can unintentionally stifle creativity. While coding is valuable, it’s not the only skill needed for tomorrow’s tech landscape. The metaverse, for example, won’t just need programmers—it will require artists, 3D modelers, and game developers to bring digital worlds to life.

In Port Harcourt, where tech education is on the rise, it’s important for parents to consider that their child’s future may also lie in creative fields like 3D modeling. Omami Studio offers opportunities for those looking to explore and nurture these creative talents.

Every child is unique, and not all are destined to be programmers. Some will shine as the artists who shape the future of digital experiences. Encouraging creativity alongside tech skills can help children find their true passion and thrive in a diverse, tech-driven world.

Dose anybody still keep up with using blender??

Big on blender. Don't think I am leaving soon

this is nice and interesting. do you know how to generate height and bump maps from 2d images?

keep lots of drawing books around , easy pictures they can draw and colors too. at this beginning stage encourage them to learn form not lines as well as god color principles. youtube channels for kid art and craft is also good but prepare for the horror that comes with kids creativity.

if the money is there hire an art inclined house teacher to engage them in both curricular and art education . if yo are based in ph i could link you to one, he was among the last year winners of bic pen drawing competition

To figure out barbing rather

Lol. What is risky about his move? He should pay 4k - 6k to learn from Omami Studios when he has access to tons of free tutorials on all the 3d softwares on YouTube? Omami Studios is what looks like a wrong move here. You can at least share the link to Omami Studio's portfolio so we can see the works done by Omami Studios and judge if Omami Studios is worth learning from at that price tag.

Okay what's risky first . He wants to form a community of 3d enthusiast in quote newbies to embark on a skill that can take up to 4 or 5 years to hone fully guided by who. Do you know how long it can take for them to go in circles if they mix just one step. Take my experience for starters I learnt character modelling ( self taught) got a gig started sculpting till I missed fundamental deformation areas because the tutorial I used did not mention it. 3 months worth of work almost in flames if not for my boss that guided me.


The team of beginners, how many of them knows a clear definition of the path ahead. Self learning is great I do it most times but then 3d is broad. A training like this involves dedication and commitment to someone else in this case a tutor. Maybe try gathering a group of guys and ask them to figure out barring skill by themself. Time they would use to go far under a tutor would be spent trying to figure out the whole stuff themself.


I hope u get me. Self learning isn't bad that's not what I am saying. The question should be are they willing to sacrifice that uneccssary time . The field is broad before they even figure out specialty new tools are out. For instance while most of them would be busy thinking about how to move verts into shapes 3d artist around the world are gearing up for geometry node based modelling. Now imagine that they are watch a YouTube video from 2018 how long do you think they will take before they catch the trend.


The training is not by force and this self is too cheap for the knowledge being shared. The training is on hard surface and its pulled out from a bigger course of 35k.

risky move try this instead. it will get you started
