This program delves into the Skinning process, as well as the limitations of Skin Cluster for Unity"

Unlike 3D characters designed for film, the production of a video game requires the model and rig to run in a third program, the game engine. These tend to be more limited with respect to the systems used in film Rigging. For this reason, a filmRig is not likely to work in a video game engine. 

To address this problem, a specific topic has been dedicated to the adaptation of film Rigs to video games. Exploring the limitations, creating a skeleton for Humanoid and connecting the video game skeleton to the cinema skeleton with Python.

This will be followed by delving into everything related to the Unity video game engine. From downloading and installing it to importing and exporting a Rig. Passing through the creation of Character Definition, the Avatar tool or Retargeting.

In addition, you will learn how to use Mixamo to create skeletons. A free tool with a large library of characters and animations. We will also focus on the process of finishing with the clothing Rig, weapons or Twists Joints.

All this, through a 100% online format, without timetables and with all the syllabus available from the first day. All you need is a device with an internet connection. In this way, students can organize themselves according to their Preferences. Thus enhancing learning.

TECH faculty will help you learn about and identify the different types of Rigs available in Unity”

This postgraduate certificate in Rigging in Video Games 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 Rigging in Video Games
• 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

Importing and exporting Rigs is almost as important as the development itself, so a specific topic has been set aside to learn about these processes’’

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.

The program includes specific sections to deal with the creation of a facial Rig and its influence painting"

With TECH, you will learn to connect a film-type skeleton with that of a video game"

Students who complete this postgraduate certificate in Rigging in Video Games will know how to create a Rig and work with it in the Unity engine. You will learn about the differences with a Rig limitations, the use of the program itself and the keys to import and export and the keys to import and export. At the same time, we will teach how to use Mixamo and different online resources for Rigging and animation will be presented.
