Do you want to advance to the next level in your career? Enroll now in this update program, in one of the most demanded areas in the videogame industry" 

There are many examples of the importance that animals and creatures are regaining in the creation of stories for videogames: Sonic The Hedgehog, Fox McCloud from Star Fox, Amaterasu the sun goddess in Okami or the peculiar birds of Angry Birds, to mention a few that show the scope and success that can be obtained with these beings in the creations for video games with more and more followers. 

In this postgraduate certificate in Digital Sculpture of Animals and Creatures, we seek to deepen in the physiology, weight distribution, structures and animal musculature. To evolve in an animal imaginary, of hybridizations and bestiaries; and thus create human-beast transformations. The student will be exposed to a range of styles from realistic to NPR (non-photorealistic renderings), such as Anime or Cartoon, as well as the important field of Fan Art by means of projection panels on the sculpture. 

Likewise, special attention will be paid to a variety of species, such as birds, reptiles and fish. Turning the modeling professional into an expert creator of beings. Organic modeling in ZBrush will lead you towards achieving complex textures such as: feathers, hair, scales and fur. With the use of procedural pattern generators, the use of alphas and the sculpting of shapes with Chisel brushes, you will perfect your talent.    

All the content is available from day one, rigorously selected by experts with renowned experience in this professional area, who will also accompany the student at all times, from a modern virtual campus, as it is a 100% online program with a duration of 6 weeks.
