Are you interested in video game animations and considering specializing in that area? Enroll in this program to achieve it"
The world of video games has been the result of an evolutionary process in different technologies. In their early days, displays were only allowed to show certain pixels in black and white. Then, with the arrival of color, a new world of possibilities opened up, showing certain nuances and differentiating shapes from the background. Nowadays, the screens not only support animation in which textures and contrasts are perfectly detailed, they also help to immerse the player in a new reality, making him or her a participant in the entire virtual environment.
Therefore, those in charge of art and animation in the design of a video game are among the most in-demand profiles in the sector. Animators are the ones who model the characters and bring them to life, as well as all the visual elements that make up the game, so they must possess the right knowledge and skills to achieve an impeccable result.
This postgraduate diploma has been developed with all this in mind, with the aim of helping students understand the basics of 3D modeling and texturing using different software, such as Studio Max and Mudbox. Likewise, students will be able to learn the techniques used by the great exponents to animate characters and any element in 2D and 3D.
