If modeling a human body requires excellent skill, when this task is transferred to the realm of fantasy and fictional or real creatures, the effort is even greater, since each of these beings may have a different complexion and anatomy. This requires the design professional to be versed in extensive 3D modeling techniques, especially tools such as ZBrush or Blender, frequently used in all audiovisual fields.

Therefore, with a mastery of these tools and a suitable workflow, the students of this qualification can create creatures of the utmost complexity, giving them personality through sophisticated quality and attention to detail. With this set of skills, the graduate will be much better prepared to tackle larger design projects involving creatures of any kind.

Thanks to TECH's advanced methodology and the educational and professional quality of the teachers, students will be accompanied at all times during the program. The whole team behind the program is involved in the students getting the most out of each theoretical content, so they will be more than willing to solve any kind of doubt related to 3D Creature Modeling.

Additionally, the 100% online nature of the qualification, which greatly facilitates the student's study work, must be added to all this. There are no classes or classroom attendance, but the students themselves can download all the theoretical content from the first day and adjust it to their own pace of life or personal responsibilities. 

You will find the quintessence of 3D modeling in this postgraduate diploma, explained in a pleasant and agile way"

This postgraduate diploma in 3D Creature Modeling contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most notable features include:

  • The development of case studies presented by experts in 3D modeling 
  • The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice 
  • Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used 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 

With no pressure to complete a final project or attend online or on-site classes, you'll have the freedom you want to pursue this qualification as you choose" 

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 training programmed to train in real situations.

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