Introduction9:40

Adding The Background images8:31
Learn to load and align background images in Blender, using front and right views and face references to guide box modeling and prepare for sculpting.
Modeling The Base mesh for the body21:37
Start the base body mesh in Blender from a centered cube, add a loop cut and mirror with clipping, then extrude and refine with proportional editing for the torso.
Modeling The Pants Body and Shoes18:31
Modeling The Hands20:54
Sculpting the Body Part 123:50
Sculpting the Body Part 229:47
Sculting the Body Part 311:24
Refine the body sculpt by smoothing and adding form, creases, and subtle striations for a fleshed, muscular look. Retopologize the mesh for animation and bake textures to finalize the model.
Sculting the Hands Part 119:55
Sculpting the Hands Part 228:51
Retopologizing the Body Part 123:27
Retopologizing the Body Part 228:41
Retopologize the arm in blender by extruding and connecting edges while preserving clean topology from bicep to tricep, and attach the hand to the body with edge loops.
Retopologizing the Body Part 315:37
Belt Sculpt and Retopo22:49
Learn belt sculpting and retopology in Blender by creating realistic belt wrinkles with dynamic topology, clay strips, flatten and crease brushes, while using proportional editing to conform to the body.
Pants Sculpt And Retopo12:07
Sculpt the pants in Blender with broad initial forms, using a non-symmetric approach for realistic wrinkles, then retopologize with a multi-resolution workflow, shrink wrap, and projection to bake textures.
Detailing The Shoes18:15
Master a wrap-based detailing workflow for shoes in Blender, using shrink wrap, solidify, and subdivision to create wraps, then bake textures from a high-res cage onto the low-res shoe mesh.
Modeling The Face Part 113:34
Set up background images in Blender and align front and right views, then begin head modeling by extruding a plane; shape eyes, nose, lips, and jaw with a mirror modifier.
Modeling The Face Part 216:36
Watch step-by-step face modeling in Blender, fill holes, narrate the process, and refine the head to align with the background image by adjusting the image and vertices.
Modeling The Face Part 325:49
Modeling The Accessories Part 121:55
Modeling The Accessories Part 225:55
Modeling The Accessories Part 320:54
Modeling The Accessories Part 429:29
Model the belt loops through the buckles and the sword, using shrink wrap, subdivision surface, and mirror modifiers. Refine the holster fit with bevels and edge loops.
Modeling The Accessories Part 531:04
Modeling The Accessories Part 620:51
Model a sword holder and belt loops for a character in Blender. Use extrusion, insets, and edge loops with mirror, solidify, and subdivision modifiers to achieve proper thickness and alignment.
Modeling The Accessories Part 717:55
Modeling The Hair22:19
Modeling The Eyebrows10:13
Modeling The Inside of The Mouth19:25

Description

This course will give you the necessary skills and knowledge to create own 3D characters with Blender 2.7. You don't need to have any previous experience in 3D modeling, but if you do, then this course is a great way get you started with Blender.

Through this course, we will create a wonderful project using a step-by-step approach. You will start by getting to know the modeling tools available in Blender as you create a 3D character and then you will discover more advanced tools.

The tools and techniques are introduced in a practical way, so you can apply them in your own projects later.

By the time you’re done, you’ll understand how the whole process fits together, and how to use Blender to create outstanding characters for all media. You’ll also build strong Blender skills you can apply in any 3D project, whether it involves characters or not.
