- Víctor Manuel Fernández Mireles, full-time professor, and Ángel Silvestre Montalvo Rodríguez, a student from the Department of Information Technology Engineering at the Polytechnic University of San Luis Potosí (UPSLP), obtained their third certification in the Unity 3D video game engine.
The student was advised by Mr. Fernández, who has promoted the use of these new technologies with the support of the department. The certification obtained was the Unity Certified Artist, which adds to those previously obtained as Unity VR Developer and Unity Programmer, thus achieving the entire set of certifications of the Unity 3D video game engine, offered by the Certiport certification center through the company Educational Technology Consulting (ETC).
The Unity Certified Artist certification exam assesses knowledge in: importing 3D models and their association with textures, using sprites for 2D video games, components of the mesh of a 3D model, model animation curve editor, creating scenes for prototyping, terrain editor for 3D scenarios, modifying materials and the use of shaders, and implementing lighting in a scene.
With this achievement, the Department of Information Technology Engineering, which has 10 years of experience working with the Unity 3D platform, has a positive impact on the development of students’ professional competencies as well as on the strengthening of the degree program.
