Kawaii Character Creation in 3D with Blender

“I have already taught you all the basics to get into 3D modeling in Blender. Before we say goodbye, let's review the stages of the process. It would be great if you could show me a picture of each phase and add a short explanation about what you have done in each one. Mood board The first step is to look for the references that you want to integrate into your character. As we saw in Unit 2, I created a mood board with various references to get inspiration before starting to design.

Sketch Next, I made different sketches exploring different possibilities of integrating the element of inspiration. I also sketched some poses to give the character a bit more personality. Having several ideas and proposals, I chose my favorite to clean it on a model sheet. Modeling Then it's time to import the character design into Blender and model it with the help of modifiers. As we saw in Unit 3, I used the mirror, solidify, skin, and subdivision modifiers to bring the model closer and closer to my model sheet. Materials and textures After modeling, I added the principled BSDF material and colored the character. I also painted textures where necessary. Lighting and render Finally, I positioned lights and cameras, and took a render so I could share my creation with the world. Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your character and the steps that have led you to it. I am looking forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask you for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. It is sure to be a very enriching experience! See you on the forum!”

“Final Project Thank you for accompanying me in this course. I hope that you've enjoyed it and learned, and that it's the first of many three-dimensional characters. Remember that practice is necessary to get better at whatever skill you set out to learn. Next, I will give you some pointers for you to continue developing your character. You already learned to design the physical characteristics of your character, but a complete character also has a personality. If you are interested in expanding and growing your character, you can invent a personality and even a context. You can also use que...”
