LogInNicolas Morel will help you create complex characters.
The time has come to master the art of texturing creatures, and Nicolas Morel's new course will help you achieve brilliant results in Mari.
Morel makes stunning models of dragons, lizards, and other scaly animals, so if you wish to learn how to handle them, this 15-hour tutorial is a must-have. Don't worry, if you have a different creature at hand, you can bring it as well, or use the dinosaur model provided with the course.
This course will teach you every aspect needed for the design, texturing, and lookdev of your own creature. At every stage, Morel will give you an overview of the work you're going to do and then do it in real time with commentary.
"The goal behind this tutorial is for you to be able to apply it to any reference or concept. I go through the process as a general idea that you can then apply to anything, not just for this particular case."
Here is the outline:
- CHAPTER 01 : Creation of a new project and overview of Morel's Mari workflow.
- CHAPTER 02 : Skin colour blockout and how to unlock your imagination with the creation of skin variations.
- CHAPTER 03 : Pushing your skin details and creation of all the different maps. Including SSS Scale – Roughness and Bump.
- CHAPTER 04 : Texturing of the teeth and inner mouth.
- CHAPTER 05 : Creation of the lighting and lookdev setup.
- CHAPTER 06 : How to review your own work and improve it day by day.
