Character modeler Juan Solís has dedicated his career to creating countless 3D cartoon characters over the past two decades, working for top studios like Disney Animation, DreamWorks, Ilion Animation Studios, and Blur Studio on high-profile projects such as Frozen, Trollhunters, Spiderman, and Tadeo Jones.
If there's one thing he's learned through experience, it's that there are notable differences between modeling 3D characters for a personal project and doing so for a professional production. In this course, Juan teaches you how to model characters in collaboration with the art department and prepare them to star in an epic animated production.

Get started by exploring Juan Solís's work and his influences as he gives you a tour of the projects and artists that have inspired him.
Learn to analyze a brief and search for references to define the look and feel of your project and sketch out a first draft of your character.
Next, start modeling by blocking in your character's basic shapes, ensuring its proportions are correct. Move on to the sculpting phase to add detail to your character and shape its pose.
Once you've finished this first stage, prepare a presentation for your client with a turnaround animation and various stills depicting the character from different angles.
Then take a deep dive into more technical aspects, making corrections to the character's topology and UVs to prepare it for painting.
To tie everything together, Juan Solís provides some tricks you can apply to model your 3D cartoon characters in a more professional way.

Model a 3D character, from the initial concept to its final pose, and prepare it for an animated production.
Character designers and creators with prior modeling experience who want to master the workflow involved in creating 3D characters for any type of professional production.
You need a computer with 3D modeling software (such as 3ds Max, Maya, or Blender) and ZBrush, as well as a basic working knowledge of these programs. A graphics tablet is also recommended.

This course is aimed at people with basic 3D modeling skills who want to refine their cartoon character abilities, making it ideal for intermediate learners.
You should have basic knowledge of 3D modeling and be comfortable using software like 3D Studio or ZBrush to follow the course smoothly.
You’ll need access to 3D Studio (3ds Max) and ZBrush, plus a computer capable of running these programs and an internet connection to download visual references.
You’ll learn how to design, model, texture, and render cartoon characters, optimize topology and UVs for professional production, integrate visual references, and apply cartoon stylization and anatomy techniques.
The course teaches you how to find and organize visual references on platforms like Pinterest, analyze styles, and gather inspiring images from concept artists and sculptures.
Cartoon modeling focuses on stylization, clear silhouettes, and expressive proportions, while realistic modeling aims to faithfully replicate natural anatomy and details.
You’ll learn to optimize topology, create clean UV layouts, and make adjustments that ease animation, texturing, and rigging within a professional pipeline.
