3D Modeling: Character Design in Zbrush

Course Description

This course is designed to explore the complete spectrum of skills needed to successfully bring 2D illustrated character(s) to life as 3D models.  The class will cover the research, concept design and refinement necessary to sculpt dynamic characters ranging from cartoonish to hyper realistic. Figure drawing, expression, costume and culture will be an integral part of initial development and the subsequent creation of digital maquettes that will further enhance the traditional two dimensional aspects of the character development. Students will create high quality Computer Generated figures that can be utilized in other 3D programs and ultimately customized into games, animations, portfolios, or 3D prints.
