Course Description: This course will cover the process of creating a character, from sculpting to rigging. You'll start by creating/choosing a character. The first couple weeks will focus on sculpting, covering the basic tools then getting more specific. Focusing on thinking in 3D but using existing drawing skills. Then, retopology - where you really learn how a mesh works. Retopology involves re-building your mesh to something that will bend and twist properly once it is rigged and animated. Then, rigging - a bit more technical, but also fun because you get to start posing and moving your model. Learning how to use constraints to move multiple bones together to simplify the animation process. Finally, rig cleanup will create a nice, easy on the eyes control setup for your model, so that it is ready to be animated!
It is highly recommended to have a basic understanding in Blender before taking this course. Our Intro to 3D: Blender course can be a pre-requisite. The skills in Blender that are recommended include basic modelling, navigation of the interface and understandings of Edit versus Object Modes.
