In order for you to achieve your academic goals in a flexible way, TECH provides you witth a 100% online learning methodology based on open access to content"

More and more companies in the video game sector are looking to incorporate 2D Vector Animation professionals into their teams. This is because this technique provides efficiency, design flexibility and a distinctive visual style. In this way, it helps developers optimize performance, maintain visual consistency and create engaging gaming experiences for players. To make the most of these opportunities, professionals need to keep abreast of the latest developments in this field of expertise. In addition, they need to develop skills in using state-of-the-art technological tools to produce high-precision animations.

As a contribution to this updating, TECH is launching a program that will thoroughly analyze the most advanced techniques for producing 2D Vector Animation. Taught by an experienced teaching staff, the syllabus will delve into the use of Adobe Animate, focusing on its symbols and graphics.  The syllabus will also delve into the preparation of a character for Adobe Animate. In this way, students will be able to separate elements and paths.

  In relation to this, the teaching materials will examine the use of Blender's Grease Pencil, which will be used to add additional content to a game (such as animated scenes) to enrich the user experience.

The program is based on the Relearning method, of which TECH is a pioneer. This system uses the reiteration of key content in a natural way, guaranteeing that they remain in the memory of the students without the need to memorize. It should be noted that the only thing required to access the Virtual Campus is a device with an Internet connection (cell phones, tablets or computers). In addition, students will be able to access a digital library full of additional teaching materials to enrich their educational experience.   

You will use the grease pencil effectively and create storyboards to preview game sequences before full production"

This Postgraduate certificate in 2D Vector Animation contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the program include:

• The development of case studies presented by experts in 2D Animation
• The graphic, schematic and practical contents of the book provide theoretical and practical information on those disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out 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

You will use lighting and shading on your characters to establish their volumes"

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious 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 prepare for real situations.

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

You will master alternative software such as Krita, Animation Paper and Open Toonz-Anime"

Take advantage of all the benefits of the Relearning methodology, which will allow you to organize your time and study pace, adapting to your schedule"

This university qualification will provide students with the most advanced tools for the creation of 2D Vector Animations. To this end, the syllabus will delve into the preparation of a character for Toon Boom Harmony, taking into account aspects such as tracing, bones or digital control. In turn, the syllabus will analyze the use of Adobe Animate, addressing the interpolation of form and virtual camera. In addition, the teaching materials will focus on the use of Story Board Pro for planning and previewing scenes, sequences and visual narratives.
