This online program allows you to turn your career path around and make your résumé more specialized in video game development”

The execution of realistic surfaces depends to a large extent on the correct application of textures. To this end, this Postgraduate diploma has been designed so that professionals in the field of graphic development of video games can create and apply textures for Hard Surface modeling. In online mode, there will be no limit to access to all the multimedia resources in which this program is distributed. It also helps students to progress at their own pace without having to abandon their day-to-day work.

In the first phase, a study of the figure and form is made. Since the program focuses on a deeper phase of Hard Surface modeling, such as the creation of textures, the student is introduced in a first module to all aspects related to the understanding of geometry and its practical applications in subsequent design.

A second module places the student within the conceptualization and understanding of Hard Surface modeling, so the plan explores topology and retopology; the different types of Hard Surface modeling such as Sculpt, polygonal or NURB, and also UV Maps.

Finally, going deep into the subject, the program goes into the Creation of Textures for Hard Surface, so that all texturing techniques for Hard Surface are applied, working on real cases in the application of details with textures and learning how to export materials and maps for different platforms, among other issues.

This Postgraduate diploma is a complete program strategically designed to acquire the necessary notions for the creation of textures in Hard Surface modeling in only 6 months. With a content structured in three modules, we will first delve into the basic issues of geometric understanding, or what is the same in the figure and form. The plan then focuses on the actual understanding of Hard Surface modeling with the different types that exist. In a third and last module, we enter into the specific subject of creating textures for Hard Surface modeling and applying them to specific models. All this, with the support of prestigious professionals in the sector who will guide you as teachers in your journey through this program.

With a content structured in three modules, you will become a true expert in the creation of textures for Hard Surface modeling"
