Stylized Character Workflow (Part 1 – 2)

In this course, 3D Artist Julien Kaspar from the Blender Animation Studio will give a detailed guide on how to create a stylized character for film production. This series of videos will encompass the entire 3D creation workflow from the early design process, modeling & UV unwrapping, texturing & shading, all the way to the final posing, presentation & lighting setup and getting the model ready for rigging.

This project is currently still work in progress. Because of the bigger scope of the course, each chapter will be released one at a time. You can also download the .blend files on the creation process of the character “Rain”. More material such as WIP renders, early tests and turntable vidoes from different stages in the production with detailed descriptions are also available. The final rigged character and all production files will be freely available once it is finished.
