In this postgraduate diploma you will delve into Substance and you will be able to do whatever you propose to do in the best possible way"

Knowing every detail of 3D Human Modeling to get the most out of it is the difference between a mediocre artist and a great artist. In order to do so, you have to have the basics very well established. In the industry, it is very common to have to solve problems in other departments because the work is not in a good condition, so it is essential to fully understand the importance of a good topology and how this influences all levels of a production.

This program aims to help professionals become capable of creating a character for video games as well as for the biggest Hollywood productions. To do so, the student will learn how to use Mari, the standard software in the film industry. This will give them an advantage over many artists in the industry, making them stand out from the rest. In turn, Substance is the standard for video game texturing and, therefore, knowing and mastering it is something that the graduate has to do to be able to do whatever they set out to do in the best possible way. 

Additionally, as it is an online program, students are not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location. You will have access to a rich content that will help you reach the 3D modeling elite at any time of the day, balancing, at your own pace, your work and personal life with your academic life. 

This qualification will provide you with the necessary updating of skills in a constantly evolving environment"

This postgraduate diploma in 3D Human Modeling contains the most complete and up-to-date educational program on the market. Its most notable features are:

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in 3D human modeling 
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

Be as professional as possible, understanding as much as you can the importance of a good topology and how this influences all levels of a production" 

The program includes, in its teaching staff, professionals from the sector who contribute to this training with their work experience, as well as renowned specialists from reference societies and prestigious universities.

Its multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will allow the professional a situated and contextual learning, that is, a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.  

The design of this program focuses on Problem-Based Learning, by means of which the professional must try to solve the different situations of professional practice that may arise throughout the academic course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system developed by renowned experts.

Delve into the human anatomy, a key aspect of understanding how the body works, and use it to make great models"

By learning to use Mari, you will have an advantage over many artists in the industry, making you stand out from the rest"

The program's design will allow the graduate to expand their knowledge in human anatomy in order to develop hyper-realistic characters, through the mastery of retopology, UVS and texturing to perfect the models created. All this, under the creation of an optimal and dynamic work, acquiring the most demanded skills and knowledge in the 3D industry.
