Stylized Character Workflow (Part 3-4-Assets)

/

Release date:2019, August 15

Author:Julien Kaspar

Skill level:Beginner

Language:English

Exercise files:Yes

In this course, 3D Artist Julien Kaspar from the Blender Animation Studio will give a detailed guide on how to create a stylized character for film production. This series of videos will encompass the entire 3D creation workflow from the early design process, modeling & UV unwrapping, texturing & shading, all the way to the final posing, presentation & lighting setup and getting the model ready for rigging.

3 – Expression Testing
In this chapter we will cover how to do a fast & rough retopology to sculpt the expressions on. I will guide you through the workflow, how to sculpt the expressions and create a flexible shapekey setup to mix them. Afterwards we will animate the results to blend between them and go over Rains expressions. The chapter will end with some focused breakdown videos on the polished expressions of Rain with additional tips & tricks, the design & proportion changes due to the expression tests and lastly how to add some additional asymmetry and head rotation for extra appeal.

I can recommend to use Blender 2.80 or 2.90 (or above) for this chapter. between 2.81 and 2.83 the multiresolution modifier lost some features, which makes the workflow of this chapter slower to work with. If you don’t use the recommended versions you need to regularly disable the multires modifier if you want to sculpt on the base resolution of the mesh.

4 – Clean Retopology
In this chapter we will go over the nature and purpose of a clean retopology. I will explain the setup, workflow and general good practices to make the process easier. Afterwards I will go over the timelapses of Rains full retopology and end the chapter with an explaining some of the last polish on the topology.
