Description

You will learn to create realistic character concept art from an idea to final result. You will learn to work with Blender, Photoshop, VR Gravity Sketch (optional). You will learn to create 3D sketch, how to model, sculpt and create clothes, how to work with light, create materials, render and make the final overpaint. I share full character creation process from idea to final result. Course includes 5 lessons. Each lesson is based on the next one. How to speed up production process. All basic tools for sketching, modelling and sculpting. Pipeline allows to create any ideas.I show new, modern pipeline of realistic 3D character creation, which I use everyday in my professional work. This pipeline allows to speed up production process as well as to create any ideas for your characters. It also allows to check your ideas at an early production stage, so you won’t waste your time, fix the character quickly where/if needed and achieve great result at the end. Also one of the most important bits, this pipeline allows to create 3D characters even with the base knowledge of 3D software, because it is based on assets creation and their combination in one character, which works greatly for character concept artists.Knowledge you gained in this course can be used in scenes, environment creation, etc. Because the course contains lots of information on modelling, lighting, materials creation and rendering.
