3D Character Design

4-week introduction course to help you begin to meet your ambition to create 3D characters for movies or video games. If you want to develop your skills in a committed way, then this is for you.

3D character art is difficult but it is highly rewarding. Characters are the most valuable artworks in 3D game design. It is highly challenging and complex work that pulls on many artistic disciplnes.

Every aspect of character artwork carries meaning: backgrounds, sets, costume, posture and even a small gesture of the eyebrow.

What to expect

The course will guide you through the creation of a complete 3D character concept.

You will create a full-body character in a naturalistic style. This process will introduce you to skilled use of digital sculpture and painting skills and give you a basic grounding in the technical foundations of making characters for film, animation and video games.

We will meet once per week for a 2 hour session, with tasks to complete in between. You will find the experience quite intense - in a good way.

We will cover:

• Visual Research

• Drawing, 3D Digital Sculpting

• Rapid Concept development and Sketching

• Basic costume design

You will learn a repeatable process that will allow you to make good quality artworks.
