A complete and cutting-edge program that will allow you to advance in a progressive and complete way, from the comfort of your home”

Thanks to Specialized 2D Animation, artists are able to enrich video games with fantastic and science fiction special effects. In this way, they create high-impact resources that catch the attention of players. In this sense, they also develop special effects ranging from fire to flares. However, to do this, professionals need to have a solid knowledge of how to create Specialized Animations. In addition, they must acquire advanced skills to effectively use programs to bring their characters to life.
In this context, TECH is implementing a Postgraduate certificate that will examine Specialized 2D Animation in detail. The syllabus will analyze the walking cycles of non-bipedal beings, as well as their practical movements. In turn, the syllabus will delve into the design of special effects such as viscous fluids, fires, lava or fire. In this sense, students will be able to create explosions, collapses and falls. On the other hand, the teaching materials will delve into different lighting effects and shadow casting. This will enable graduates to create unique and highly creative pieces to stand out in the video game industry.

It should be noted that the approach of this program reinforces its innovative character. In this line, TECH offers a 100% online educational setting, tailored to the needs of busy professionals looking to advance their careers. Through the Relearning methodology, based on the repetition of key concepts to fix knowledge and facilitate learning, flexibility is combined with a robust pedagogical approach. In addition, graduates will have access to an extensive library of innovative multimedia resources. The only thing students will need is an electronic device with an Internet connection (a mobile phone, tablet or computer). This will allow them to enter the Virtual Campus and immerse themselves in an educational experience that will take their professional horizons to the next level.
