The ones that you have read on top are the main things you will learn in this course. But, with all seriousness there's so much things I've went through in this course. It's a bit overkill and I agree. But for the people that are mainly targeted for this course you guys will shine and learn the most. The same workflow is used on creating AAA type characters in Zbrush and even stylized. If you get through this course, you will get through any intermediate AAA or stylized character course creation or any courses I will put here in the future that is about characters. There are free gems in this course that will take you places :) Take it and run. Have fun !
