Postgraduate diploma 3D Character Modeling

The most memorable characters in movies or video games are, more often than not, carefully crafted 3D creations in which designers have had to invest a lot of time and effort. In this way, Lara Croft or Link remain in the collective memory of the public thanks to the personality and evolution they have undergone over the years, with increasingly realistic and plausible 3D models that perfectly capture the essence of the character. As it is not a trivial task to create a model full of details, TECH has prepared this complete program with which 3D designers will have all the necessary skills to create such legendary characters as Buzz Lightyear.

Introduction to the Program

You will be able to recreate even the smallest detail of all the characters that you propose to model in 3D thanks to the knowledge of this program"

The importance of creating a good 3D model when it comes to iconic characters lies in the designers' ability to accurately define all the textures, poses, clothing and features that the hero or villain will have. Therefore, even from the model itself, the personality and spirit of the character can be infused.

This requires that 3D design professionals have a good command of the most common tools in the industry: ZBrush, Maya and Marvelous Designer. Thanks to an expert combination of these programs, the designers will be able to distinguish themselves in their field and quickly become a reference in the industry when it comes to creating 3D characters.

This is why this TECH qualification focuses especially on the most intrinsic characteristics of design software, so that the student can get the most out of them in their professional performance. Additionally, the theory is complemented with supplementary subjects in modeling clothing, accessories, rigging and color, so that the student creates the best possible characters with an innovative and creative vision.

Specialize in 3D character modeling

In the days of 8-bit games it was enough to configure a few pixels to have Pacman eating ghosts or Mario Bros jumping turtles. After titles such as Virtua Fighter, Descent and Wolfenstein 3D ventured into three-dimensional environments and the subsequent birth of the Play Station was a commercial boom, graphics were forced to make a technological leap. Nowadays, it is essential to be up to date in the use of programs such as Zbrush, Substance Painter, Marvelous Designer or Maya if you want to create characters that are up to industry standards. Here in our Postgraduate Diploma you will acquire skills in the use of the aforementioned software, as well as in other various elements of great relevance for 3D modeling: mapping, texturing, lighting, retopology, rendering, etc. You will also delve into advanced techniques such as cloth refinement and fabric shading. With TECH you have the doors open to a world where creativity and computer graphics forge legends.
