HND in Computer Game DevelopmentHND in Computer Game Development

This subject will introduce the students to the world of computer-generated images and help them understand how they work so that they can apply the different techniques and concepts in any 3D software package.

This subject introduces students to the basic techniques and software tools used to produce textures and shaders for video games.

This unit will cover the history of video game development, including software and hardware advancements and key milestones worldwide.

This unit teaches basic knowledge that helps the student to understand the operation and work methodology within the Unreal Engine video game graphics engine

During this unit, the student will learn to create all types of 3D meshes necessary for the artistic development of a video game, either hard-surface or organic, through modeling props, vehicles, structures, and characters.

This unit provides a holistic view of project development, supporting documentation, and the correct citation of documentary sources and reference authors.

This unit aims to develop comprehension of basic drawing techniques, which will evolve into the fundamentals of concept art.

In this unit, the students learn the process of creating all types of animation necessary for the artistic aspect of a video game, whether related to objects, vehicles, or characters.

Concept art involves bringing ideas into a graphic form before developing them. A concept artist must know how to convey ideas and work pictorially and fluidly.

This unit shows the student how to use different software to produce environment assets and characters applicable in production, especially (but not only) in video games and real-time graphics.

This unit shows the student how to implement different principles and procedures to design video game environments and develop basic game functionality using Unreal Engine, a graphic engine widely extended in professional productions.

Teacher: Pedro Sánchez

It is an advanced 3D modeling unit that focuses on preparing assets for video game use. It considers not only 3D modeling aspects but also mapping systems and the development of advanced textures using software such as Painter.

During this unit, the student learns how to set up and animate a character, creating a body and a facial rig and adapting it to a 3D character through Skine tools according to the technical requirements of the engine used, in our case, Unreal Engine.

This unit introduces students to the practical application of drawing and design concepts to creating concept art for video games, teamwork, and the application of industry-standard procedures.

In this unit, students conduct a reflective analysis of their skills, aspirations, and areas for improvement. They will rationalize and draw up an action plan to maximize their chances of employment in the desired specialty and position during the months following the end of their training.

The unit is oriented to provide students with the essential tools to produce their ideas and projects under a systematic and organized structure.

This unit focuses on helping students understand the legal issues involved in their work as artists and developers.

Promotion of the portfolio is part of an artist's work. Parallel to the project's development, each student will study the demographic target to better appeal to the selected audience.

This unit shows the student in a practical way the process of creating video game environments and implementing them with Unreal Engine through the development of a project that meets the industry's production and quality standards.

The unit provides the student with the basic and indispensable tools to develop 2D art applicable to the interface environment and head-up display (HUD), as well as other additional graphic content specific to the development of a video game project.

Once the students have developed their hard skills during the first courses, they will create a project based on the theory and practice learned in collaboration with students from other specialties.

In this unit, students learn the essential tools to develop their ideas, stories, and projects under a systematic and organized structure, creating a complete and appealing story from the simplest of plots.

This unit introduces students to advanced material creation systems. It also intends to provide students with the theoretical and practical skills necessary to master Procedural Design, preparing them to apply this knowledge to Unreal Engine.

The main objective of the unit is to train students to develop the necessary skills for executing team projects.
