A Hard Surface modeler has the ability to build, texture, light and render any element from scratch. Nowadays, it is a skill that is rewarded, as it gives a realistic idea of what a building, a bullet train, a modern kitchen and even a shoe might look like.

With this in mind, this professional master’s degree in Hard Surface 3D Modeling will guide designers through an online program, which brings together all the necessary elements for the study of the shape and analysis of the composition that allows to generate a realistic modeling of any object. As a result, from the technical to the artistic, you will learn about the different fields in which this discipline is applicable, such as commercial animation, aeronautical engineering, the automotive sector, among others.

Therefore, first of all, a complete tour through the study of the figure and shape will be made, knowing in detail the development of the original figure and how, from them, different geometric bodies can be created. Then, an analysis of the various applicable modeling techniques and their principles can be made, which will favor the development of the criterion to perform 3D mesh mapping and texturing.

Continuing a little further in the syllabus, the student will learn how to perform advanced modeling in Rihno, one of the most popular software in the design world, which allows creating unimaginable shapes with great precision and detail. Finally, special emphasis will be placed on the production of characters using Hard Surface, understanding the parameters for sculpting them.

For all these reasons and more, this program is the right choice for designers who wish to advance their careers or update their knowledge in a highly demanded area. Thanks to the 100% online modality, you will be able to organize your time and learning pace according to your schedule and responsibility. Additionally, you will have access to the contents at any time and place you need it.
