Introduction to the Program

Having a mastery of Creature Modeling, you will be able to access the most ambitious projects in the world of video games”

It is strange to find today a video game title that does not include some kind of creature, either, fantastic or real. The world of animals houses many anatomies, so design professionals dedicated to their recreation must have extensive knowledge in this field.
 
To fill this knowledge gap that many designers may have who want to specialize their career, TECH has developed a complete Postgraduate certificate in which the student will review the anatomies of reptiles, amphibians, mammals and animals with plumage, as well as all the features that make them unique and distinctive compared to others. 

Thanks to an intensive study of the bones, faces and diverse muscles of the animal kingdom, the student will be able to perfectly recreate any kind of animal in Maya, making use of XGen for their fur or feathers. 

A Postgraduate certificate that takes students to the next professional level in their career, because it is perfectly compatible with other types of work or personal responsibilities. Being a completely online program, the study material is available for download from the first day of the qualification, allowing the student to decide when and how to study it.  

Designing realistic and convincing 3D creatures will greatly improve your chances of job growth”     

This Postgraduate certificate in Creature Modeling the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. Its most notable features are:

  • 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

This Postgraduate certificate will open the doors to the job promotion you are looking for, demonstrating ability and quality in your 3D odelling work”      

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 during the academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.   .   

Formalize your odelling in this program today and don’t wait any longer to build the future you want by designing and odelling the creatures of the future"
