Creating a Stylized Horror Character in Maya 2022 by Digital Saucer Studios

You will begin by familiarizing yourself with the Maya interface, learning the basic concepts and essential modeling tools. Understanding how to navigate the camera and select objects is crucial.

Next, you’ll start the modeling process. You’ll create a human character by modeling the head, eyes, mouth, teeth, tongue, and the rest of the body, including the arms, hands, and legs. You’ll learn the importance of topology and how to achieve a great-looking result with a proper topological workflow.

We will then move on to the UV mapping process, a vital step in 3D model creation. Creating UV maps allows you to paint textures and apply them to your model. The texturing process will be done in Photoshop.

Afterward, we’ll return to Maya, where you’ll learn how to apply the texture maps to your 3D models using shaders from Maya’s Hypershade menu.

Finally, we will create a background and set up a camera to render the character. You’ll understand how lights work in Maya and how to use them to create a visually appealing scene. In the end, you’ll learn how to produce a final render, resulting in a stunning image.
