BASEMESH | Create Stylized Characters Quickly with Blender

Instructor:

Lucas Falcao

Do you want to build 3D characters but don't know where to start? Are you're overwhelmed by the thought of creating them from scratch? The default cube can be kind of intimidating...

This course is designed to give you a head start on the character creation workflow: Start with a BASEMESH! Reliable pre-made character models are not only an effective way to speed up the process and establish good topology early. The truth is, all your favorite pros use basemeshes too.

Sure they can also build characters from scratch - and we teach that elsewhere - but the efficiency of a basemesh makes it a standard tool for 3D character creation.

By the end of this course, you should have a good understanding of:

Creating unique character clothing and accessories
Easy and efficient modeling techniques
Adding details to refine your models
Various texturing methods including vertex colors, image decals and procedural textures
Utilizing multiple UV maps
Setting up rich, appealing materials
Reliable studio lighting
Geometry Node hair growing and grooming

While you can follow the steps with the provided course files, we highly encourage you to apply the knowledge and techniques demonstrated here to achieve your own unique characters!
