TECH will teach you how to work with Unity, the video game engine behind such successful titles as Hearthstone or Pokemon Go"

For a project to be realistic, it is not enough to know how to use video game development tools. There are many other complementary techniques that also influence the final result. One of the most important is cybersecurity. Above all, in the Rigger's work, elaborating a correct skeleton is fundamental to facilitate the animator's work and create a good product.

The syllabus delves into Rigging for video games, with the aforementioned Unity engine and other tools with Mixamo. There are also additional techniques that complement the basic techniques of the Rigger's work. For example, retopology, 2D facial Rig on 3D models or video editing for Reel.

On the other hand, the elements that form part of a muscular system will be detailed, capsules will be created to elaborate muscular systems, the professional use of the Muscle Builder tool will be learned and skin deformation will be configured, among other techniques related to human anatomy.

All of them, in a 100% online mode and without timetables. So that the student can access the contents as and when he/she wants. In addition, the entire syllabus will be available from the first day, to facilitate personal and work conciliation.

Working with muscle systems can lead to performance problems. Solve them with the theme that has been dedicated to caching”

This Postgraduate diploma in Rigging Advanced for Video Games contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:

• Case studies presented by experts in videogame Rigging

The program makes a professional review of tools such as Mixamo and Human IK, or techniques such as retopology and Motion Tracking"

The program includes, in its teaching staff, professionals from the sector who bring to this program the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists from prestigious reference societies and 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 education programmed to learn 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 throughout the program. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

Take your project to the next level with the use of Plugins like MGTools Pro3 or Autodesk Maya Bonus Tools"

In TECH you will learn how to generate synergies by exporting movie skeletons to video games through Python"

This qualification analyzes Rigging for video games from different perspectives It will delve into the Unity engine for video games and the 3D graphics developer Mixamo, techniques such as skinning, facial rigging or the adaptation of film rigging for video games, and tools such as Human IK A module has been reserved to deal with human anatomy and its behavior, with tools such as Muscle Builder or Muscle Spline Deformer Finally, a number of very useful tools and techniques have been included, for example Spine 2D, MGtools Pro3 or Motion Tracking systems.
