Blender Character Creator v2.0 for Video Games Design

Requirements

• You should be able to use a PC at a beginner level.
• A 3-button mouse with scroll wheel recommended.

This course has been created using Blender 2.83 and is compatible with newer versions of Blender.

Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, the experienced instructors will take you through every step of the process, ensuring that you aren’t just “copy and pasting” what you see, but learning the tools and developing your own creative process as you go.

For each concept taught this course includes a relevant challenge for you to implement yourself. You can follow along with the Ogre model used in the course, or create your own character using reference material or your own sketches.

The course will show you how to create a highly detailed, great looking character for your portfolio as well as turning that same character into an asset ready to be implemented into a video game engine.

The entire course is project-based, so you will apply your new skills immediately to real 3D models. All the project files will be included, as well as additional references and resources – you’ll never get stuck. There are talking-head videos, powerful diagrams, quality screencasts and more.

For each model you build, you will follow this process…

• Be challenged to build the entire model yourself.
• Be shown step-by-step how to build it.
• Apply your knowledge regularly.
