Postgraduate certificate 3D Clothing Simulation

A protagonist's clothing is almost as important as their personality or their plot role. For this reason, all the clothing of the 3D characters must be carefully designed down to the smallest detail. Through the clothes you can deduce aspects of the character, so it is essential to delve into the texturing and shading of clothes. For this reason, computer scientists in 3D design must have an advanced knowledge of how to create and simulate the correct behavior of clothing in order to make it as realistic as possible. By taking this training, the students will be able to distinguish themselves in their department and improve their job promotion possibilities, assuming responsibilities in more important projects.

Introduction to the Program

You will get the practical training necessary for the creation of clothing for organic digital characters for any digital animation, advertising or video game project"

Marvelous Designer is a perfect piece of 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 certificate teaches the students to use this software to understand the characteristics of clothing: its seams, folds, zippers and how they affect all these elements with movement.

The 3D Clothing Simulation must be close to perfection, because a glitch, or an incorrect behavioral patternit, later, in the animation or riggingphase, can cause the model to look bad or unrealistic. Responding to this demand, this program hosts a complete content in which the student can gain the distinctive and definitive edge to elevate their career path by modeling high quality clothing for their own personal and professional projects.

In addition, the program is delivered completely online, without the need to attend a physical center or adhere to a schedule. As there are no classes, it is the student who chooses when, where and how to take on the entire teaching load of the didactic material, which is available on the web platform from the first day of the training.

Master the fundamentals of 3D model clothing and become a benchmark in bringing realism to characters"

This Postgraduate certificate in 3D Clothing Simulation contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

The development of case studies presented by experts in 3D modeling
The graphic, schematic, and eminently 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 is the professional opportunity you were looking for to acquire the necessary up-to-date skills in a constantly evolving environment"

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.

This qualification will keep you up to date and prepared for any situation with the latest software on the market"

This program is based on an extensive compilation of industry experience and different opinions from professionals"
