Description

You will create characters that are as real as possible, both for video games and film projects" 

##IMAGE##

Marvelous Designer is a perfect software for the creation of fabrics either for Real-Time or for movies, but it is practically not taught or at least not deepened due to its complexity with the patterns. Therefore, this postgraduate diploma will teach the graduate to use this software to understand the characteristics of clothing, its seams, folds, zippers and how they affect all of these with movement.  

Also, Blender is here to stay, as it is increasingly being implemented in the 3D modeling industry. In order for students not to be left behind, whether for a personal or indie production, or for a large production that implements this software in its workflow, this qualification will teach all its tools so that students are up to date and prepared for any situation with the latest software on the market. 

Additionally, as it is an online program, students are not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location. You will have access to a rich content that will help you reach the 3D modeling elite at any time of the day, balancing, at your own pace, your work and personal life with your academic life. 

Master the fundamental aspects of hair and clothing of 3D models and become a reference when it comes to bringing realism to the characters" 

This postgraduate diploma in 3D Hair Creation and Clothing Simulation contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:

  • The development of practical cases presented by experts in 3D Hair Modeling and Clothing Simulation 
  • 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 the self-assessment process can be carried out 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 

You'll lay the foundations of hair creation and, by practicing different styles, you'll become a professional when it comes to hair” 

The program's teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who bring to this program the experience of their work, as well as renowned specialists from reference societies and prestigious universities.

Its multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will allow the professional a situated and contextual learning, that is, a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

The design of this program focuses on Problem-Based Learning, by means of which the professional must try to solve the different situations of professional practice that may arise throughout the academic course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system developed by renowned experts.

Postgraduate Diploma in 3D Hair Creation and Clothing Simulation

3D hair creation and clothing simulation are techniques used in graphic design and animation to create more realistic three-dimensional characters and objects.

3D hair creation.

3D hair creation is a process that uses modeling tools to create and shape virtual hair on an animated character or image. This process involves creating hair polygons and meshes that are connected to anchor points on the character's head. Textures are then applied and lighting and shading techniques are used to give the hair a realistic look.

Clothing simulation.

3D clothing simulation is a tool that allows you to add a layer of realism to the clothing of a virtual character or model. This process involves creating clothing meshes and connecting them to the character's points of articulation. Physical simulation techniques are then applied to determine how the clothing would behave in different situations, such as character movement, wind and gravity. These techniques can include simulating wrinkles and creases in clothing, as well as creating realistic fabric textures and shadows.

Hair creation and clothing simulation are complex processes that require advanced skills in 3D modeling and animation software. 3D designers and animators use specific tools to break these processes down into smaller, more manageable tasks, allowing them to create more realistic and detailed characters and objects. These processes allow animation creators to create more realistic and engaging characters for audiences and are widely used in film and video game animation.
