Digital Hollywood Tokyo, operated by Digital Hollywood Co., Ltd., has announced a special “3DCG Making Seminar” to be held on Saturday, January 31, 2026. The event will feature creators from the renowned animation studio MAPPA.
This seminar presents a rare opportunity to gain insight into the production frontline of MAPPA, the studio responsible for global hits such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan: The Final Season.
目次
Breakdown of “Attack on Titan” and “Chainsaw Man” Production
For this seminar, MAPPA will send two guest speakers, Mr. Subaru Ikeda and Mr. Dohoon Kim. Both creators are alumni of Digital Hollywood, making this a triumphant return to their alma mater for a special lecture.
On the day of the event, the speakers will focus on 3DCG production techniques, using the following popular titles as case studies:
-
Attack on Titan
-
Chainsaw Man
-
Inazuma Eleven
Regarding Chainsaw Man in particular, the presentation is scheduled to utilize “intermediate deliverables” from the TV series. Rather than simply showing the finished footage, the session will allow attendees to view work-in-progress materials alongside the commentary. This approach offers a deep dive into the backend of how high-quality CG animation is constructed layer by layer.
Studio Dedication and Advice for Aspiring Creators
The seminar will go beyond mere technical explanations. The speakers will discuss the studio’s uncompromising dedication—or kodawari—in their craft, as well as provide practical advice for those aiming to enter the CG and anime industries.
Whether for students currently learning 3DCG software like Blender or Maya, aspiring creators, or fans of MAPPA’s works, this event promises to be a venue where one can feel the genuine heat and passion of the animation production floor.
Event Overview and Participation Details
While admission to the seminar is free, it is strictly limited to a capacity of 100 attendees via advance reservation. As this is a valuable chance to hear directly from industry frontrunners, early reservation is highly recommended.
