University certificate
The world's largest faculty of video games”
Introduction to the Program
Master the creation and connection of proxies with joint chains, optimizing models and enhancing efficiency in the development pipeline”
Character rigging, proxies, props, and clothing are essential pillars in the video game industry, where visual quality and the interaction between characters and their environment define the user experience. Every animation, from a stretched bow to the fluid movement of a character with dynamic hair, requires specialized techniques that ensure precision and realism. With the growing demand for immersive, high-quality video games, mastering these advanced rigging systems becomes a key differentiator for any professional in the sector.
The academic program offered by TECH delves into systems such as bend and 2D facial rigging on 3D models, as well as techniques for influence projection and the creation of geometric hair or hair generated with xGen. Thanks to this approach, new possibilities emerge for developing characters that are not only expressive and realistic but also interact naturally with their environments, vehicles, and weapons.
One of the greatest advantages of this program is the ability to transform creativity into tangible results. Each module is designed to ensure that knowledge of tools like Maya and advanced rigging techniques become concrete professional opportunities. Mastering these techniques enhances the ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, adds significant value in animation and video game studios, and opens doors to developing projects with a comprehensive, professional vision.
The online format of this program allows access to updated and specialized content without geographic or time limitations. This means future professionals can learn and experiment flexibly, integrating their learning experience into their own lifestyle while exploring new job opportunities in a constantly evolving industry.

Postgraduate Certificate in Cartoon Rigging, Proxies, Props, and Clothing
Bringing video game characters to life requires more than just creativity; it demands mastering the technique that gives movement and expression to every figure. This invisible yet vital foundation is known as Rigging, a process that builds the skeleton supporting the magic of animation. By mastering this aspect, professionals can transform a static model into a figure full of energy, rhythm, and realism. With this premise in mind, TECH has developed the Postgraduate Certificate in Cartoon Rigging, Proxies, Props, and Clothing. Through a 100% online methodology, you will dive into the process of creating stylized rigs, with a particular focus on Cartoon styles. You will also understand how technique and art intertwine, and how a good internal structure can make the difference between a correct animation and one that truly comes to life.
Give movement, character, and personality to every digital project
As you progress through this academic journey, you will connect with the internal language of digital animation. This will allow you to integrate your knowledge to creatively address the challenges of animating complex characters or interactive elements. At the same time, you will discover how Cartoon-style rigs allow you to exaggerate reality with narrative intent, adding elasticity, humor, and emotion to every scene. This will enable you to develop a comprehensive perspective, one that connects the technical with the expressive, and understand movement not just as a mechanic but as a form of communication. Ultimately, this is your opportunity to build the technical foundation that every animator needs. Enroll now at TECH Global University and transform your passion into professional talent.
