Overview

Overwhelmed by the complexities of creating 3D character from scratch?

Creating high-quality 3D characters is a challenging yet rewarding task. With the right guidance from an experienced 3D character artist, the process becomes less daunting and more enjoyable.

That's why we developed the Master 3D Characters in Blender course.

In this course, you'll learn the full workflow for creating 3D characters from scratch. We'll sculpt a stylized female body, explore human anatomy, and design layered clothing with intricate details like stitching, zippers and more using Geometry Nodes.

We'll also dive into hard-surface modeling to create a detailed jetpack, and cover professional techniques for retopology, UV unwrapping, texturing, shading, and hair grooming.

Master all the skills needed to bring any 3D character to life.
