35:58 Do people study both streams in foundations course or one? 3d Modeling or animation or both?

[@Cgspectrum]

Hi Vikas! Great question and thanks for watching! You study both streams (3D modeling and animation) in the first 2 terms. After graduating from the Foundation course, you could choose to continue with the 9-month Realtime 3D & Virtual Production Course, or, specialize in either 3D Animation or 3D Modeling with a 3-month bridging term followed by the Advanced 3D Modeling or Animation Course.
The good thing about the Foundations course is that you don't have to decide on your focus right away - you can try everything and see what you'd like to pursue further! Hope that helps :)

@@Cgspectrum I have already enrolled and paid for the course. It's starting on 4th. April. I was a little confused with the 'or' in that sentence.
