Pre-Entry Program － Micro Certification － CGGE - Global Talent Recruitment by Digital Spectrum Global (Shenzhen)

Why Is the Pre-Entry Program Necessary?

CIDF is a high-intensity, industry-grade AI + CG production program. The core curriculum includes:

3D Modeling and Rigging
Lighting, Rendering, and ACES / OCIO color management
AI-driven motion systems and VFX
Real-time engines (Godot)
XR spatial computing
Python automation
Web framework (Django)
Transmedia Storytelling
GCGPS pipeline governance (AIA, PPS)

Without systematic preparation in a pre-entry stage, most zero-background students would struggle significantly or fail outright.

Therefore, the Pre-Entry Program functions fundamentally as a learning bridge (Bridge Program).

Is the Pre-Entry Program Designed Specifically for Students with Zero Background?

Yes.

The entire Pre-Entry Program was intentionally designed from the very beginning as a formal on-ramp for students with no prior background, and is suitable for students who:

Have never used Blender
Have never worked with 3D or animation
Have never studied Python
Have no design background
Have never used AI tools
Have no foundational knowledge of color science
Have no experience with game engines
Have limited or fragmented digital literacy

This is precisely why the Pre-Entry Program exists —
to ensure that students do not enter the CIDF core program starting from zero.

What Does the Pre-Entry Program Do for Total Beginners?

Build Foundational Digital Literacy

Students will learn:

File management and directory structures
Basic use of cloud-based tools
Entry-level AI tools
Fundamental digital workflows

Build Visual and Narrative Foundations

Students will gradually develop:

Simple shape drawing
Color fundamentals
Composition principles
Mood boards
Storyboards
Foundational narrative and creative thinking

Build Initial Familiarity with 3D and Game Engines

Students will learn:

What a mesh is
Viewport navigation in Blender (orbit / pan)
Simple modeling
Basic animation
Scene rendering
Creating simple interactive prototypes using Godot

Build Learning Discipline and Studio Habits

Students will practice:

Team collaboration
Receiving and applying feedback
Iterative improvement
Presenting creative work
Meeting deadlines

Evaluate Readiness for Entry into the CIDF Core Program

Students are assessed across the following dimensions:

Creativity
Technical comprehension
AI literacy
Learning discipline
Motivation and commitment

Final Outcomes

A student with absolutely zero background will grow into someone who is:

✨ Able to operate basic creative tools
✨ Able to think visually
✨ Able to use basic AI tools
✨ Able to complete simple 3D tasks

✨ Able to build a small game prototype
✨ Ready for studio-style learning
✨ Prepared to succeed in CIDF Phase 1

Summary

The Pre-Entry Program is specifically designed for students with no prior experience in 3D, AI, XR, coding, or design.

It ensures that every student enters CIDF from the same fair, well-prepared foundation.
