Bu kursa neler dahil?
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.
