Description
Hello and welcome to the course Create Iconic Characters with Blender!
In this engaging and focused course, you'll have the opportunity to learn the essential techniques and tools of polygonal modeling in Blender to create memorable 3D characters from scratch.
This means you'll be guided through Blender from the very beginning. In the first section, you'll be introduced to the interface and learn to use the fundamental tools for navigation, creation, and transformation of objects. Additionally, you'll be challenged to create a simple project of an animated robot to apply and solidify the knowledge gained.
In the second part of the course, we'll begin the 3D character modeling from scratch. You'll learn how to set up references in the interface and model each part of the body. Furthermore, you'll be introduced to a simple and effective approach to create different pieces of clothing for your model. Later on, we'll delve into creating materials to add color and life to your creation.
After completing the modeling of your character, you'll learn to use the Rigify addon to create an animation skeleton for your character's body. Additionally, we'll explore the use of Shape Keys and Drivers to create controls for facial expressions. This will allow you to create customized poses and expressions, preparing your character for animation!
