抖音视频 https://v.douyin.com/iPY3K1uA/

This comprehensive workshop covers the entire process of sculpting a 3D game character from scratch using industry-trusted techniques. Omid Moradi, a lead character and creature artist/sculptor, presents his tried-and-tested workflow for crafting AAA game characters using industry-standard software, ZBrush, Maya and Marvelous Designer. This 4.5-hour workshop is designed for mid-level and senior character artists who are already familiar with 3D character creation but want to deepen their understanding and elevate their skills.

Omid discusses why paying close attention to each step of the game character creation pipeline is essential. He demonstrates how to sculpt the face and body of a character from scratch, rather than relying on preexisting assets, and shows how to efficiently block out a character while being mindful of the forthcoming steps. The creation process of various materials, including fabric, leather and metal, is also covered. Omid also offers professional insights into anticipating potential issues and preventing them from occurring while following industry practices.

By completing this workshop, artists will have a deep understanding of how to break down complex designs into smaller, manageable parts and prioritize each step of the pipeline to create any intricate design in 3D successfully. The techniques learned will be helpful for artists to turn to time and again.
