If you want to understand the intrinsic keys to Digital Sculpture, this fully online training will take you on a tour of the fundamentals”

Digital design is a discipline that extends and has the capacity to influence other multiple areas such as industrial production, three-dimensional design and printing, animation or video game development, etc. Digital Sculpture is part of each of these areas, allowing the recreation of large spaces, infrastructures, objects and characters for virtual or physical use. The popularization of this area has also produced the need for specialized experts and professionals.

This professional master’s degree in Digital Sculpture delves into issues such as the improvement and painting of meshes, the creation of three-dimensional machines according to their motility, character rigging, human and animal anatomy, software such as Blender, Arnold, Photoshop or ZBrush, and modeling with light, among many others.

It emphasizes the notions of topology at all levels of development and production of a model, as well as human and animal anatomy, in order to apply it later to modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering processes accurately. It also seeks to meet the demand for the creation of hair and clothing for video games, animation or 3D printing. Handling of modeling systems and knowledge of current industry systems.

Thanks to a totally online format, the deepening of knowledge in Digital Sculpture is combined with other personal and professional projects. The virtual platform, where teachers will post all the multimedia material and pedagogical resources so that students can progress at their own speed and pace, can be accessed at any time. All this will be taught with Relearning methodology, which promotes autonomous and practical learning for the student.
