Fundamentals of Digital Sculpting with Blender

Learn all the essential tools, features, and techniques about sculpting with Blender. This tutorial course will lay the foundation of using Blender's sculpt mode, applying that knowledge to sculpt a shark creature, so that you then sculpt anything you want.

Styling and Shading Realistic Hair

Creating realistic CG hair is often a huge challenge, but with the right techniques it can become fairly easy. By following along with this course, you'll learn how to style hair based on regions of the human scalp (like a hairdresser), as well as tweak the particle settings and Cycles shaders to get as close to realism as possible.

Fundamentals of Compositing

Compositing in Blneder is an optimizational workflow for minimizing render iterations while maximizing your render output's editability. It's essentially the concept of separating your render into individual components that can be reconstructed and tweaked independently after rendering.

Texturing & Shading a Stylistic Character

With this course, you will develop a solid foundation of shading principles supported by basic scientific observation. This in turn will prepare you to tackle your future shading tasks with confidence.

Creating Hair Cards for Realtime Characters

Discover a technique for generating realistic hair styles for realtime application, like video games. This workflow utilizes Blender's particle hair system along with Bezier curves to deliver a non-destructive hair card creation and grooming process. Create AAA hair like the pros!

Short Film Character Production

This course is an extensive journey through the entire 3D animation process. You will learn how to model the avian "Piero" character, paint him, rig him, animate him, and finally render him out as a finished short film. NOTE: The 3D animation process isn't easy or quick. This course is recommended for advanced users.
