Description

Welcome to Realistic 3D Creature Creation! This course is designed to give intermediate artists the knowledge & guidance to create a stunning portfolio piece. I have spent months packing as much value as possible into this course so you can waste no time learning the in-depth process.

I believe that a community is a HUGE part of growth as an artist. I’ve personally seen the most growth as an artist once I began joining and interacting in artist communities, so I want to provide that to anyone taking this course through a Discord Server.


WHAT YOU GET:
- 70+ HD Video Lessons that walk you through the entire process of creating our character
- 15 hours of Video Lessons
- Lifetime access to the Artist Growth Discord server (link in resources PDF upon purchase)
- Resources (Reference files, Textures, Images, & The Resources PDF which also includes extra recommended video & resource links)


YOU'LL LEARN:
- How to Create a realistic character from scratch
- A good understanding of the muscle and bone structure of the body
- Sculpt realistic skin forms, wrinkles, & folds
- Texture & render realistic skin
- Create a full hair groom with Blender's hair system
- Render out a full character for a stunning portfolio piece


FAQs:

Do I need to purchase any external products?
The FlippedNormals Face Kit, Skin Kit, and Eye Kit are highly recommended. Although any other pore alphas can be used for the skin detailing. However, I do not cover how to create the eyes from scratch. The eyes are completely from the FlippedNormals Eye kit.

We also use some free external resources such as HDRI Haven & CC0 Textures (these resources are provided in the course).

Do I need Zbrush?
While it is possible to do all the sculpting with another software like Blender or Mudbox, however, Zbrush is recommended for artists who want to fully maximize their results. Also if you’re a student interested in Zbrush, I recommend getting a Zbrush student license.

Is this a beginner course?
This course is NOT meant for complete beginners. I created this course for artists who are closer to an intermediate or advanced level. I do not teach the basics of the software, rather I focus on teaching technique fundamentals. So I recommend having at least a year of experience under your belt.

How long will I have access to the course?
FOREVER! You will have lifetime access to Realistic 3D Creature Creation and all it's resources upon purchasing.
