Nestled within the innovative campus of H-Farm near Venice, Italy, BigRock School stands as an internationally recognized leader in computer graphics and digital arts education.

Since its founding in 2005, BigRock has trained thousands of aspiring artists, designers, developers, and creators in fields ranging from animation and visual effects to video game development and UX design. Recognized and certified by The Rookies, BigRock ranks among the Top 50 Creative Schools worldwide. BigRock embraces transformation, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence and real-time graphics, preparing students for the rapidly evolving digital industries.

“Since the very beginning, we’ve embraced the opportunities offered by technology and partners like ASUS, investing in innovations such as AI that can revolutionize the creative process,” says Alessandro D’Annibale, General Manager of BigRock

THE CHALLENGES

As creative workflows become more complex and technologically intensive, the tools required to support education in this space must evolve just as quickly. For BigRock, a major challenge was providing students and educators with a hardware and software ecosystem powerful enough to handle AI-based image generation, high-end game development, and real-time visual rendering. The school wasn’t just looking to use AI, it was developing its own local models and integrating them into the curriculum. This required a flexible, robust hardware platform with stability, speed, and graphical muscle. As Pedro Rojo, a developer and teacher at BigRock, notes: “We’ve seen an incredible evolution in the world of video games. Using tools like Unreal Engine has become essential, but these tools demand serious computational power.” Alberto Botter from the R&D team adds:

“As an R&D team, we’re focused on building new ways to introduce AI tools into school programs. Tools like MuseTree are opening up entirely new ways to explore and develop visual ideas. But having the right hardware is essential.”

THE SOLUTION

Creator Workstation and MuseTree AI Software for Seamless Creative Workflows

BigRock utilizes the Drako Creator PC - Powered by ASUS, featuring a ProArt RTX™ 4080 Super graphics card supported by a ProArt B760 Creator WiFi motherboard and ProArt chassis. This configuration ensures maximum stability for demanding tasks, particularly when paired with MuseTree AI software.

The ProArt RTX 4080 Super graphics card, with 16GB of VRAM, is critical for handling real-time image generation and high-performance AI workflows within MuseTree. This software is designed for intuitive, high-speed image generation, opening up new ways to explore and develop visual ideas.

“Whether I’m sketching in Idea Canvas or combining concepts in the Idea Map, everything is fast and responsive. It arrived at exactly the right moment,” says Alberto Botter.

Pedro emphasizes the system’s reliability:

“With this graphics card and the latest Intel CPU, I can make my games look next level, no lag, no stutter. The system is rock solid and incredibly quiet, even during long, intense sessions.”

Visual Precision with ProArt PA32UCR-K Monitor

In the creative studio, BigRock installed the ProArt PA32UCR-K, a 32” 4K HDR Mini-LED monitor. This display is critical for accurate color and detail, ensuring perfect contrast, brightness, and 10-bit color, essential for video game development and cinematic trailer editing.

The monitor also has full HDR support, which is crucial for accurately displaying the high level of detail in environments and skies when working with Unreal Engine. The pre-calibrated monitor adds another layer of precision for color grading and AI-powered visual tasks, bringing the whole scene to the next level.

“The PA32UCR-K is stunning. Its 4K mini-LED panel, deep contrast, and 10-bit color accuracy give us total confidence in what we see, essential for Unreal Engine work where precision makes or breaks the final result.” says Pedro Rojo.

THE OUTCOME

Thanks to the integration of ASUS ProArt hardware and MuseTree AI, BigRock has transformed its classroom into a state-of-the-art creative laboratory.

Students now experience firsthand the kind of workflows used in modern design studioses and production companies, giving them a competitive edge before even entering the industry. With AI as a core pillar of the curriculum, students are encouraged to explore new frontiers in visual storytelling and interactive media.

“At BigRock, we believe that future creatives need access to the same cutting-edge tools used by top studioses. With ASUS ProArt hardware and AI tools like MuseTree, we’re not just teaching, we’re empowering students to explore, create, and innovate at the highest level. This partnership ensures our school stays ahead of the curve, ready for whatever the future of digital arts demands,” concludes Alberto Botter
