3D Generalist
Learn the entire 3D character animation pipeline from scratch! Modeling, Rigging, Animation, Cloth Simulation, Texturing, Lighting, and Rendering.
Course Overview
Want to create 3D character animations from scratch, but not sure where to start? This course will guide you through the entire classical 3d pipeline from start to finish.
We will start by modeling a character using traditional modeling techniques and retopology. You will learn how to rig a character from a single joint to custom complex Xpresso systems. As you learn the animation of the basic walk cycle using a custom rig, you will develop the intuition to connect the knowledge of rigging and animation stages.
You will also be able to add more life to your animations using realistic cloth simulation. In the final step, you’ll assemble the entire scene, create the materials and lighting, and render it into the finished animated video.
Complete pipeline
You will understand how to approach any 3D animation project and organize the workflow from simple modeling to rendering a complete animated scene.
Character rig from scratch
to mind-blowing complex step by step to understand each rigging stage as deep as possible.
Real experience tricks
We will discuss how to deal with common problems that everybody faces in real projects and deeply understand their causes.
CHAPTER ONE
What will I learn?
LESSON #1
Modeling: Blocking
LESSON #2
Modeling: Head Topology
It is difficult to create a good rig and animate it, without a good topology
We will simplify the process, breaking down the model into key areas, and create a topology on top of the blocking model. You will learn to think in polygon loops, understand where they should be placed, and why they’re so important.
Our students working in top companies
The lessons are great. You get what you’re looking for and a little more.
I work for Accenture and animated videos are on a daily basis. Our clients loved the few effects that I was able to learn at the course. Also, I still go back to the lessons and find something new to learn.
Great classes and I’m happy that invested in them. I definitely learned a lot of new ways of working that made me faster and better at my job.
I’ve watched some of the shorter classes and have loved them! The teaching style is fantastic and engaging ? I’ve also enjoyed seeing everyone’s work in the FB groups. Everyone seems to be excited to give helpful feedback and encouragement! I recommend your classes to my coworkers and friends all the time (am a full time sr. designer).
The Science of Character course was extremely helpful. It was easy to follow and the lessons were top notch. Your team produces high quality learning experiences that I haven’t found in other places when it comes to motion graphics. Keep up the great work!
Yes, I found the courses extremely helpful and well put together. I was researching online tutorials for my colleagues who are just beginning to learn AE and was testing out a MDS course to see if I could recommend it. I ended up learning a lot myself ????
