Course Overview
Learn to digitally sculpt a 3d character or creature for games in the popular stylized method!
In this intermediate level tutorial we will be focusing on the process of creating a creature that could be used in the Games Industry. Starting from a simple concept, we will create a base mesh for our creature, move into sculpting, and finish with Retopology and UV layout. The tutorial focuses heavily on sculpting fundamentals in ZBrush, as well as the necessary tools to create a game resolution mesh using Maya. By the end of the module you will have a game resolution character ready for the texturing process.

Awesome tutorial, I'm only halfway throught and not really following the exact character concept at 100% precision because I wanted to get a more personal approach to the model, but the advices and anatomy details are amazing and I also now feel really more confident in Zbrush thanks to this course. Also the instructor explains the tools really well and I enjoyed every moment of this course for now.
