What's this course all about?

Modeling is an integral element in the 3D industry. It's impossible to imagine any animated film or video game that doesn't have 3D models. Props, characters, environments nearly every concept needs to be represented in an actual 3D model. This can be done either completely or in part. 3D is a flexible tool that is useful for any artist of the present. How do you get started?

It is much better to start the 3D artist's journey by altering a few polygons and gaining the basics of 3D in a brief manner. In this course, you'll begin by making a basic representation of a board using Maya and then you will learn to create a texture using Substance Painter right away. Then, we'll guide you through an easy model. It's a big task ahead of you and you'll have to create a complete 3D character with a hard surface from our animated video which we've developed to teach this course!
