This career will provide you with the necessary tools to develop professionally in the 3D art and animation industry. You can work in any production of Cinema, Advertising, Videogames, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Emerging Technologies. Designed in conjunction with companies and industry benchmarks, the race seeks to enhance your creativity, giving you solid tools and knowledge with a focus on constant practice, teamwork and solving real problems present in any production.
Did you know that we are the First Unreal Authorized Training Center in Latin America? (Authorized Training Center – ATC)
We are recognized by Epic Games for continuing to offer the highest quality content in relation to Unreal Engine. We have access to exclusive content for partners and the most recent updates to their study plans among other benefits.
What do you learn?
The degree allows you to understand and perform in a professional way all the processes to carry out an audiovisual production with 3D content from an artistic and technical aspect. You will acquire the knowledge and skills to model and texture vehicles, weapons or assets, understanding in depth each phase of 3D modeling so that your pieces look with superior quality.
You will also master the creative process to design and bring to life realistic or fantastic scenarios, including greenery, mountains, water, cities, terrains in outdoor and indoor spaces. You will be able to make digital sculptures with real anatomical bases, characters, creatures, monsters and all kinds of organic entities. You will learn about proportions, facial anatomy, male and female muscle groups and their adaptation to animals and creatures.
Once you know how to design, model, and texture your own characters and objects, you can prepare them to animate them to the quality required for professional production. You will discover how to create skeletons that allow them to give them movement and advanced controls to achieve spectacular results, making them express emotions, jump, run and can speak. You will learn professional animation techniques based on Disney animation principles so that your characters, objects and creatures are endowed with life as we normally see in movies and video games.
Another important point of the race is the creation of visual effects and simulations to achieve effects such as smoke, fire, explosions, objects that are destroyed, liquids, realistic fabrics (clothes of characters for example) and particles to apply in a 3D scene or on real footage (footage tracking).
The degree focuses on understanding and mastering the production process, from pre-production to the final result, so that you can successfully solve classic problems of the profession that impact your performance and productivity as an artist. You will learn how to organize and address your ideas correctly, optimize your workflow and get the highest quality from your 3D art pieces.
It´s about the know-how
Our graduates develop and produce content simulating a real professional practice environment. Upon graduation this allows you to display a solid personal portfolio to stand out and show your potential, a key competitive advantage to enter the industry or undertake your own projects.
