Hi there! I will be sharing my 3D character workflow with you during this course. We’ll also be going over my production pipeline from modeling, texturing, lookDev and rendering. I’m excited to share the various tips and tricks that go into the process of bringing this character to life. I’ll be covering organic and hard surface modeling/texturing as well as hair grooming and rendering. Stay tuned!

Hello there,

I am also not sure where exactly to place the introduction to the Character Pipeline and Rendering course, so I decide to reply my classmate colleague in this thread. Apologies if I am placing it in the wrong thread! I am Samia, PhD candidate and 3d modeller hobbyist. By joining this group, I hope I can learn tons from all of you, besides exchange tips/knowledge in sculpting, texturing, lighting and rendering disciplines. Looking forward to start this short journey beginning at October 1st.

See you all there!

Good Morning. My name is Rahul Sarkara. I’m from India but I live and work in the United Arab Emirates. I thoroughly enjoy designing, pencil sketches and digital painting mostly. I’ve just started dabbling in ZBrush and find it extremely exhilarating. I really look forward to getting the best out of this course and learning from an industry expert. Owing to the time zone differences, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to attend all the webinars, but I look forward to interacting and learning from everyone here. Thank you!

I love to program tools for my art, so I consider myself a technical artist. Hope to learn new skills and methods in this course!

Greetings everyone. I’ll mirror the confusion and assume this is the proper location for the requisite introduction for posting my background for registration for the course.

My name is David Krein, I worked in the videogame industry as a character animator in the 2000s and the economic downturn at the time prevented my continued working in the industry and have since gone into other industries. I’m forever an animator though and wish to return to 3D professionally once more, or at least get back into it as an artist for hobby and education’s sake. I’m out of practice with newer tools and pipelines, so the email seemed to call to me out of nowhere describing the course, so I’m taking it as a whisper that it will assist with tools I would need to round out my knowledge of animation with rendering and modeling pipelines as a starting point.

I look forward to seeing how things have evolved in the last 10 years.

Hello, my name is Feri, I teach graphic design and 3D graphics at my business, 25/7 Design Studio. I’m preparing a new character rigging module, and for that, I need a good character model, but something else always comes in that looks more important, and I’ve been postponing this task long enough, so I thought, participating in a character modeling contest could give me a deadline, and it’s always good to see other instructor’s approaches, there’s always room for improvement and new methods, so here I am. :slight_smile:
