Can you imagine being able to design the worlds and characters that make a video game unique?
At UDIT we offer you the new Degree in Digital Art and Visual Creation for Video Games and Interactive Environments, designed for those who want to train as digital artists in the interactive entertainment industry.
You will learn to create all the visual art that brings a video game to life, from the first sketch to its final integration: character design, environments and interfaces, sculpture and 3D modelling, textures, animation, visual effects and art direction. All with a practical and creative approach.
In addition, you will work from day one with advanced tools used in the professional world such as Photoshop, ZBrush, Blender, Unreal, Unity, Substance, among others.
Now, in addition, the Videogames area at UDIT has been redesigned so that you can share the first year with the Degree in Design and Development. This way, you will learn the whole process and you will be able to choose your path and, if you wish, specialise with an official double degree in five years.
