Description

This program will teach you how to create Python scripts to automate the most repetitive processes in the creation of a Rig"

##IMAGE##

The limbs of video game characters are vitally important elements, as they are present in practically all of their actions. In fact, they are one of the few parts of the character, if not the only ones, that appear so much in first and third person. For this reason, it is so necessary that the systems FK and IK are drawn up correctly. 

In this sense, hybrid FK/IK systems will be considered, as well as the creation Joint chains, controls and nomenclature. Unifying both to the Main chain and also working with Parent Constrain. Finally, regarding FK/IK systems, the keys to use Node Editor and Node Reverse will be given, as well as the attributes in Shapes nodes. 

In parallel, Scripts with Python will be created. That is to say, customized tools will be programmed according to the needs of the character. Meaning that the workbecomes more enjoyable and agile. The subject will affect the need for the Script, its approach and the development of the code. 

These contents will be available in a multitude of formats, so that the student can choose the one that best suits his or her circumstances. In addition, the postgraduate certificate is fully online and without timetables, with the intention of facilitating the reconciliation of family and work.

The Postgraduate Present Certificate details the fundamentals of Python programming for Rigging. Therefore, you will be able to create your own tools and speed up your work"

This postgraduate certificate in Advanced Limb Rigging contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include: 

  • The development of case studies presented by experts in Advanced Limb Rigging 
  • The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
  • Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used 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 

The Node Editor and Node Reverse tools are essential when creating a Rig. Learn how to use them professionally in TECH"

The program includes, in its teaching staff, professionals from the sector who bring to this program the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists from prestigious reference societies and universities. 

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

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.  

In this program you will learn in depth the hierarchies and nomenclatures of FK and IK hybrid systems"
