postgraduate certificate Creature Modeling

In the world of video games, it is common to find impressive creatures of all kinds. In the case of Horizon Zero Dawn are gigantic metal dinosaurs that populate the world, while in the more realistic approach of Red Dead Redemption 2 can be found bears, horses or wolves recreated with luxury of details. Be it fantastic or credible, the designer who wants to succeed creating 3D models for video games must know how to recreate any type of creature. Therefore, this TECH title offers a complete program with which the student will be distinguished with honors, improving their prestige and position by reliably recreating any real or fictitious animal.

Description

Having a mastery of Creature Modeling, you will be able to access the most ambitious projects in the world of video games”

It is strange to find today a video game title that does not include some kind of creature, either, fantastic or real. The world of animals houses many anatomies, so design professionals dedicated to their recreation must have extensive knowledge in this field.

To fill this knowledge gap that many designers may have who want to specialize their career, TECH has developed a complete postgraduate certificate in which the student will review the anatomies of reptiles, amphibians, mammals and animals with plumage, as well as all the features that make them unique and distinctive compared to others.

Thanks to an intensive study of the bones, faces and diverse muscles of the animal kingdom, the student will be able to perfectly recreate any kind of animal in Maya, making use of XGen for their fur or feathers.

A postgraduate certificate that takes students to the next professional level in their career, because it is perfectly compatible with other types of work or personal responsibilities. Being a completely online program, the study material is available for download from the first day of the qualification, allowing the student to decide when and how to study it.
