Create Your Own Stylized Characters From Scratch With This Course

If you ever wished to enter the world of character art, take a look at this tutorial course on Stylized Character Creation by FastTrackTutorials. It is a comprehensive guide to creating 3D characters from scratch to final touches, just like in trailers and images. The course includes more than 22 hours of 44 videos and four bonus videos with English, Chinese and Spanish subtitles.

The tutor is Florian Neumann, a professional Character Artist. He is currently a Lead Artist at RABCAT and has previously contributed to projects such as Apex Legends, Forza Horizon, and Overwatch 2.

The software that is used in the course includes Maya, ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, and Marmoset Toolbag 4, which are widely used in the industry. Sculpting will be done in ZBrush, baking and rendering will be completed in Marmoset Toolbag, and Substance 3D Painter will be utilized for texturing. "We'll also create a simple rig for posing, which we'll adjust in Maya and Blender," as explained in the course's description. 

The course was significantly updated in 2024. The new chapters focus on polishing sculpting, textures, and posing along with additional source files. Bonus chapters do not cover any new workflows and therefore, are not narrated. For those who already purchased the original course, the new version is available at 75% off.

Please note that the course is designed for students who have some experience with 3D modeling tools like Maya, Substance 3D Painter, and ZBrush. The course provides a detailed explanation, but it is advised to first watch introductory tutorials on these programs.
