The combination of Traditional, Vector and Specialized 2D Animation will offer you a wide range of possibilities, consolidating Animation as a crucial component in the visual narrative of video games"

Traditional 2D Animation, known for its classic artistic style, has found its place in video games, bringing a nostalgic charm and unique aesthetic to titles. On the other hand, 2D Vector Animation has gained popularity due to its versatility and efficiency in terms of storage and performance, allowing fluid and detailed movements in characters and environments. In addition, Specialized Animation raises the visual quality of video games, by introducing elements such as particles, dynamic lighting and more realistic facial expressions.

This is how this postgraduate diploma was born, thanks to which designers will immerse themselves in the refinement of movements through position animation, where they will create expressive silhouettes, using effective lines of action and mastering contraposes and reversals to bring characters to life. In addition, they will explore lip sync and walk cycles, delving into details such as full turns and exaggeration of movements to add dynamism and expressiveness to animations.

Professionals will also acquire specific skills in programs such as Adobe Animate and Toon Boom Harmony. From the creation of characters, to the use of lights and shading, they will master the necessary tools to produce high quality vector animations, working with bitmaps, vectors and specialized animation software.

Finally, the creation of movement cycles for non-bipedal beings, special effects such as fire, smoke and weather phenomena, and techniques to animate hair, fabric and other complex elements will be addressed. In this way, a profound immersion will be provided in the creation of fantastic and science fiction special effects, as well as in the manipulation of lighting and shadows, in order to achieve realistic and captivating results.

In this way, the academic proposal will provide a unique experience for graduates, offering them a completely virtual and adaptable format. This initiative will allow students greater autonomy in structuring their study time, making it easier for them to balance their personal and professional commitments more efficiently.
