We will then block out the creature's assets and any cloth elements. Following this, we will refine the design, making minor concept adjustments as needed, and proceed to develop the high-poly sculpt. After establishing the high-poly, we will refine the creature's body proportions and anatomy, and add detailed skin features. Finally, we will pose the character, decimate the mesh for optimization, and conclude by setting up lighting and creating a final render presentation.Who is This Course For?This course is designed for intermediate 3D artists and character artists.
