COURSE OVERVIEW

Learn the fundamentals of character creation

This course covers the foundation of creating an appealing, production-ready character bust from start to finish. From blocking in and sculpting your character, to retopology and UVs, to texturing and presentation—by the end of the course you'll have a portfolio-ready character render. This course is a precursor to Adam Skutt's "Next Gen Character Creation Mentorship."
