postgraduate certificate 3D Retopology and Maya Modeling

Digital sculpting has emerged as the preferred way to create organic 3D models because of the power of its tools and the level of detail that can be achieved. However, this creative freedom requires an enormous number of polygons to work the curves of the model, which puts even the most capable computer on the ropes. Retopology is made to solve this problem, because it allows to obtain a clean mesh in case you want to animate the model in another 3D program. This online program makes it easier for the student to reconstruct a 3D model with a more optimized geometry to extrapolate it to tools such as Maya Modeling.

Description

A program focused on preparing you with the most advanced and innovative knowledge and tools in the world of 3D modeling"

Retopology is the most technical phase of the 3D modeling process, and it is essential in models that are going to be animated. In the industry it is very common to have to solve problems of other departments because the work is not in conditions. This program aims for the graduate to be as professional as possible, understanding the importance of a good topology and its influence on all levels of a production.

Some software such as ZBrush or Maya Modeling allow automatic and manual topology. The program analyzes the mesh and relocates the polygons in the most efficient way. The student will learn how to use these tools that are characterized by their speed to simplify inanimate objects with a single click. At the same time, they will learn different ways of modeling to build the character of their dreams.

As if that were not enough, since this is a 100% online postgraduate certificate, the student will have the ease of being able to connect comfortably from anywhere and whenever they want. The only requirement is to have a device with an Internet access from where you can follow the contents. The contents will also be available to download and consult offline at any time.

Thanks to its online format, you will be able to balance this program with your work and personal life at your own pace"
