You will immerse yourself in a world of possibilities, unleashing your creativity to create a lasting impact on the video game industry”

Advanced Traditional 2D Animation is a crucial element in the video game industry, due to its ability to provide efficiency, versatility and expressiveness in the flow of video games. Among its main benefits, its resource efficiency stands out, since this technique is less intensive in computational resources. This is especially beneficial for games developed for platforms with limited hardware, such as mobile devices or less powerful consoles. In addition, these animations allow development teams to iterate faster, test ideas and launch games in a shorter timeframe.

In this context, TECH is developing a Postgraduate certificate that will provide the most effective procedures to make characters more realistic and believable to the audience. The syllabus will delve into the walking cycles of the characters, using advanced software such as Toon Boom or Animate. In this way, students will be able to make their characters go from walking to running, passing through alternative cycles. In addition, the teaching materials will examine various sweeping, multiple and blurring techniques. In this way, animators will enrich their work practice through mechanisms that will produce specific visual effects related to movements. 

For this task, Postgraduate certificate has the collaboration of highly qualified teachers who will prepare the students through a carefully elaborated syllabus. Thanks to this, professionals will be able to specialize in this field and will be able to develop the skills pertaining to it in a real working environment. The repetition of key concepts is a commonly used technique for the acquisition of basic and important notions in any type of study. TECH, has taken a step forward and proposes Relearning, an innovative methodology in which the repetition of these notions is carried out by the teachers, thereby achieving better results. This together with its 100% online methodology makes it a perfect option to specialize in this field.
