Course Overview

This course covers entire professional character modeling pipeline.
We will start by sculpting a character using Zbrush which is industry standard since digital sculpting was invented by Pixologic. You will learn common professional techniques to do retopology and uv unwrapping
to prepare model for texturing and rendering. Next you’ll use Substance Painter to paint textures on your model. Which is also industry standard used in most of the studios. In the final step, you’ll assemble the entire scene, create the materials and lighting, and render image.

Each lesson is based on the approach used in real commercial projects. Professional tips and tricks based on real-world experience will allow you to avoid common pitfalls and speed up your workflow.

I work for Accenture and animated videos are on a daily basis. Our clients loved the few effects that I was able to learn at the course. Also, I still go back to the lessons and find something new to learn.

Great classes and I’m happy that invested in them. I definitely learned a lot of new ways of working that made me faster and better at my job.

I’ve watched some of the shorter classes and have loved them! The teaching style is fantastic and engaging ? I’ve also enjoyed seeing everyone’s work in the FB groups. Everyone seems to be excited to give helpful feedback and encouragement! I recommend your classes to my coworkers and friends all the time (am a full time sr. designer).

The Science of Character course was extremely helpful. It was easy to follow and the lessons were top notch. Your team produces high quality learning experiences that I haven’t found in other places when it comes to motion graphics. Keep up the great work!

Elys Muda

Yes, I found the courses extremely helpful and well put together. I was researching online tutorials for my colleagues who are just beginning to learn AE and was testing out a MDS course to see if I could recommend it. I ended up learning a lot myself 🙂
