Description
Become a designer capable of creating realistic textures using Zbrush and take your career to the next level of excellence thanks to this program"
In 2019, Disney released Toy Story 4, animated by its Pixar studio, in theaters. Beyond being an endearing film, the public focused on the level of realism and detail presented in each element of the characters. This is how Buzz Lightyear's suit, battered by the years, or the small seams of Commissioner Woody's clothes, could be appreciated. That is why now the consumer's attention has been focused on those small details that bring realism to any animated work: the textures.
Taking into account all of the above, this Professional master’s degree in 3D Texture Modeling is presented, in which designers will be able to specialize in the handling, with extreme fluency, of the most used programs in the industry, such as Zbrush, Substance Painter or Unreal Engine. The course will start with the use of 3DS Max modeling tools, which is the most used in the animation industry.
Then, it will give way to the texturing blocks, which will explain the types of textures and materials with which they work today. In the same way, we will know in depth how is the process to prepare the model, which begins by creating the coordinates for mapping. In addition, once the creation process is finished, it is time to render, allowing to show the final work with different sets of lights and a great image quality. This requires knowledge of Marmoset.
Finally, the student will have a module dedicated exclusively to exporting in Unreal Engine, a development engine that allows building an animation or simulation. Here, they will learn how to handle themselves with ease within the program, with special emphasis on Lightmaps, the light maps that greatly influence the quality of the final work.
To complete the content of the program, we have an excellent teaching staff made up of professionals of the highest level. In addition to teaching each class, they will provide all the pedagogical material for the consolidation of knowledge, highlighting the high-definition videos presenting in detail each of the techniques of the program. In addition, the online modality allows professionals to decide the best time to study, adapting their academic schedule to their professional responsibilities.Â
