Development of Artistic and Video Game Culture
Deepen artistic culture and video game knowledge, exploring both its history and current trends.
Creativity and Concept Art
Refine creative abilities. Students will design worlds, environments, characters, props, and interfaces through concept art workshops (digital illustration). They will enhance their design methodology by developing the artistic direction of their projects.
3D Characters & Creatures
Focus on organic modeling, ensuring accurate proportions and anatomy for both stylized and realistic characters adapted to different game styles and contexts. Master the full technical workflow, including blockout, high-resolution modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, and baking, with an emphasis on topology.
3D Environments & Props
Develop expertise in creating high-quality, optimized 3D assets for immersive environments. Master the full technical workflow (blockout, high-resolution modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, and baking) with a focus on topology and optimization. Learn procedural tools within Houdini.
Mastering Unreal Engine for Real-Time Development
Advance Unreal Engine skills as a tool for integrating graphical assets and real-time rendering. Create complex game levels, shaders, lighting setups, optimizations, and post-processing effects. Develop atmospheric and gameplay-related special effects. Integrate menus and user interfaces.
Rigging & 3D Animation
Introduction to rigging and animation integration within Unreal Engine.
Students specializing in 3D animation will continue refining body mechanics and movement.
Collaborative & Professional Projects
Students will work in teams on projects commissioned by institutional partners, designed for a broad audience. They will develop problem-solving skills, learn to propose creative solutions, present their work professionally, follow project guidelines, and deliver high-quality, playable projects. They will also gain experience in task planning, workload estimation, and troubleshooting production challenges.
Professionalism & Demo Reel
Develop essential soft skills, including teamwork, anticipation, reliability, and commitment.
Practice professional English.
By the end of the year, students will have a complete and cohesive demo reel showcasing their technical skills and creativity. This demo reel will be a key tool for securing internships in the industry.
