In this comprehensive and hands on course, you will learn how to create a monster character model from scratch all the way to a professional level. We’ll start with just a design idea and, using AI assisted methods, transform that initial vision directly into a production ready 3D model. Throughout the course, you’ll gain practical experience with every step of the character creation pipeline just like in real world projects.
During the modeling process, we’ll be working with powerful industry-standard software such as ZBrush, Maya, Substance Painter, Marmoset Toolbag, and Arnold Renderer. Each stage will be clearly explained and reinforced through practical application using included project files.
What You Will Learn:
- Techniques for turning an AI assisted art direction into a 3D model
- High resolution digital sculpting using ZBrush
- Creating clean, animation ready low poly retopology in Maya
- UV unwrapping and accurate detail transfer
- Baking high resolution details to a low poly mesh in Marmoset Toolbag
- Professional PBR texturing workflows in Substance Painter
- Creating realistic wear and material effects for skin, eyes, armor, and more
- Lighting, atmosphere setup, posing, and final rendering with Arnold Renderer
- Optimizing characters for real time applications such as games and animation
