Why study this Vocational Qualification?

With these studies, you learn everything necessary with regard to art in video games and serious games. This is done by connecting it with the necessary technology bases to integrate it. Thanks to video game development engines, 2D and 3D art can be integrated into any video game using the best tools on the market. Conceptual art, textures, 2D and 3D animations, “rigging”, organic and inorganic characters, scenes and levels, etc. All in harmony with the design of necessary games which enable the generation of the best mechanics to facilitate gameplay.

Professionals responsible for graphic creation and visual aspects are the most needed jobs for companies (19% of the total)* in the video game industry. In addition, an increasing amount of specific and qualified training is needed to respond to the challenges of working in an AAA industry (70% of workers in the field of video games have higher degrees)*, and the Advanced Vocational Qualification in 3D Animation, Games and Interactive Environments at ENTI is the best way of entering the sector.
