postgraduate certificate Advanced Deformation Systems, Rigging of Props and Apparel

First person video games, by their nature, give great importance to the Rigging of Props. These are the elements on which the player's attention is focused. Series like Call of Duty concentrate many resources in developing a wide range of weapons whose appearance and movement are realistic. Providing them with different appearances and even marketing them as in-game collectibles. In this sense, this qualification covers the Rigging of Props and clothing, from its definition to its development. In addition, it includes different advanced deformation systems such as Twist and Bend, among others. All this, in a completely online modality and without schedules for that the student can organize according to his times.

Description

Through this program you will perform anatomical studies of limb torsion that will help you to implement advanced deformation systems such as Twist"

Sometimes, the production of a film or video game requires extremely specific body deformation. For example, in a cartoon, the character may be required to stretch or shrink its limbs, as well as flex them as if they were made of rubber to give them some emphasis. On the other hand, in a realistic work the torsions may have to be more natural.

To carry out these movements very specific systems are used, known as Bend, Twist and Stretch & Squash. The program of this postgraduate certificate has defined each of them and contemplates the different tools and processes involved in their development.

On the other hand, we will delve into two elements that also have a lot to do with the movement of the character. The clothes, where the preparation will take place of geometry and the projection of influences; and the Props, providing their definition and developing a system.

Finally, a specific topic has been reserved to deal with arc rigging, together with its study of deformation, approach and development. And another for the application
of low-performance proxies to advanced deformation systems.

These contents will be taught through an online methodology and without timetables, so that students can organize themselves according to their own time. Furthermore, the syllabus has been designed with different formats, meaning the student can choose the one which best adapts to their circumstances.
