The human eye is attracted to moving images. That is why video game animation is so important"

The first video game in history was launched in 1958: Tennis for Two. Its gameplay was rudimentary, consisting of two vertical bars that could be moved to bounce a small dot to the other side of the screen, emulating two tennis players (hence its name). This was something revolutionary, and it paved the way for modern gaming and animation.

From that first moment, animation was already a fundamental part of video games, and one could not exist without the other. Over time, this evolved into more than just an action in response to player interaction. It now constitutes an art form, in which expression and emotion are provided through character and environmental realism.

For this reason, this postgraduate certificate will provide the students with the information they require to specialize in Video Game Animation, offering comprehensive, in-depth learning about: 2D and 3D animation, handling Studio Max, creating digital controls (Rigging), animating the movement of characters and objects, among others.

All the content will be available in a completely online moadilty, in which the student will not have to physically move to a place to receive classes. On the other hand, the direct qualification of this postgraduate certificate is designed to ensure that students graduate immediately after finishing the last virtual presentation. In other words, you will not have to submit a final paper to graduate.
