The importance of creating a good 3D model when it comes to iconic characters lies in the designers' ability to accurately define all the textures, poses, clothing and features that the hero or villain will have. Therefore, even from the model itself, the personality and spirit of the character can be infused. 


This requires that 3D design professionals have a good command of the most common tools in the industry: ZBrush, Maya and Marvelous Designer. Thanks to an expert combination of these programs, the designers will be able to distinguish themselves in their field and quickly become a reference in the industry when it comes to creating 3D characters.

This is why this TECH qualification focuses especially on the most intrinsic characteristics of design software, so that the student can get the most out of them in their professional performance. Additionally, the theory is complemented with supplementary subjects in modeling clothing, accessories, rigging and color, so that the student creates the best possible characters with an innovative and creative vision. 

The postgraduate diploma in 3D Character Modeling is also a completely online qualification. This means that the student can download all the teaching material from day one, and can even choose the order in which to cover the entire syllabus. At TECH it is the program that adapts to the work rhythms and responsibilities of the students.  

If you've always wanted to know how the most mythical characters in movies and video games are created, this is the qualification that will put you at the controls of that important task"

Postgraduate Diploma in 3D Character Modeling

Pixar and Blizzard have something in common. It's not just the fact that both companies showcase their masterful prowess using animation (the former in film and the latter in video games), it's the quality of possessing unique and endearing characters. Tracer and Widowmaker from Overwatch are as popular as Woody and Buzz from Toy Story. The secret? In addition to imagination, a detailed construction in the digital realm. Aspiring to train professionals who can perform with expertise in this field, TECH Technological University offers the Postgraduate Diploma in 3D Character Modeling, a more than necessary academic complement to all those who are on their way to live professionally designing concept art and 3D animations for film, television, video games or even advertising. At TECH, as leaders in technology and teaching methodological innovations, we are known for providing excellent quality education, delivered through an online platform that facilitates time management and allows access to multimedia content of selected category, a plus for your career.

Specialize in 3D character modeling

In the days of 8-bit games it was enough to configure a few pixels to have Pacman eating ghosts or Mario Bros jumping turtles. After titles such as Virtua Fighter, Descent and Wolfenstein 3D ventured into three-dimensional environments and the subsequent birth of the Play Station was a commercial boom, graphics were forced to make a technological leap. Nowadays, it is essential to be up to date in the use of programs such as Zbrush, Substance Painter, Marvelous Designer or Maya if you want to create characters that are up to industry standards. Here in our Postgraduate Diploma you will acquire skills in the use of the aforementioned software, as well as in other various elements of great relevance for 3D modeling: mapping, texturing, lighting, retopology, rendering, etc. You will also delve into advanced techniques such as cloth refinement and fabric shading. With TECH you have the doors open to a world where creativity and computer graphics forge legends.
