Perform hard surface modeling thanks to the current content presented in this program. A unique opportunity to grow in the world of design" 

To create realistic surfaces that meet the parameters of engineers, architects, designers, animators, among others, this Postgraduate diploma has the most current syllabus on this subject. In this way, the students will begin with an in-depth review of the basics of the creation of shapes and primitive figures, which will allow them to develop their criteria for the realization of mechanical components.  

Then, in the second module, the different applicable modeling techniques and their principles will be analyzed. This will allow the students to develop their criteria for the topology of objects, using 3D mesh mapping and texturing as a reference. With all this, in the last module, you will be able to execute a modeling in Sculpt, understanding how the Hard Surface principles are applied to characters.    

All this content is condensed in a 100% online program, which will allow students to adapt their learning pace to their professional activities, without abandoning them. In addition, thanks to the Relearning methodology, you will be able to learn in a natural and progressive way, with various audiovisual materials that will help you consolidate the knowledge of each theoretical class.
