Learn to create realistic 3D characters with proper anatomy, detailed faces, and realistic textures for cinematography, TV series, and movies.

On this course, you will learn to create highly detailed anthropomorphic characters with realistic hair, hands, and faces, and you will also learn how to texture your character’s clothing and weaponry.

By the end of the training, you will become a skilled character artist who can convey a character’s personality through their clothing and body structure. This is achieved through knowledge of anatomy and the ability to create textures. The result of your work will be a well-thought-out, realistic character that seamlessly combines facial features, posture, and style.

This course is suitable for you if:

You are an artist and want to learn a new skill and how to create realistic characters.
You want to improve your qualifications and learn the intricacies of working in a real studio.
You have tried creating characters and are familiar with the necessary software but would like to complete the entire character creation pipeline.
You know how to create characters but want to switch to creating cinematic characters.

This training will turn you into a real 3D artist and teach you the pipeline you will encounter in a real animation or film studio.

During the course, you will learn the principles of building the human body, how to add detail to the face, and how to texture clothing and weapons.

Software Skills

During the training, you will work with 3ds max 2018, Zbrush, V-Ray, Substance Painter, Marvelous Designer 7+, Zwrap\WrapX, Adobe Photoshop, Ornatrix, and Unfold 3D.

Full Model of a Realistic Character in Your Portfolio

We will teach you how to present your character beautifully and what to focus on.

Knowledge of Anatomy

This will help you create realistic anthropomorphic characters with proper body structure.
