<p>OP hasn’t been back so I don’t suppose we’ll ever find out what aspect of VFX OP is interested in. </p>
<p>Sad to say, if the parents don’t care for art colleges, then they’re not going to care whether an art college is accredited or not. When most "typical’ asian parents are interested the “name” of a college, it is typically for bragging rights or just to feel like their kid or parenting skills have succeeded. </p>
<p>Depending on the area of VFX that is of interest, there are more paths than just the recently popular VFX undergrad degrees. For those interested in particle effects and systems (explosions, fire, debris, destruction, dust, smoke, water/any liquids, tornados/clouds/weather, etc), crowds systems, muscle/skin systems, rigging systems, or any systems mimicking natural phenomena, a Math or CS degree is just as useful. i.e. a degree from a “typical asian parent approved” school. </p>
<p>Follow that with studies at a place like Gnomon and one would be ready to tackle just about any aspect of the CG pipeline</p>
