Main Goal:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Improving the skills in 3D sculpting by learning new software and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Software :<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have some experience making object models with Blender. But as far as I know, Blender is not the most mainstream game modeling software. Therefore here are 3 software that I want to be proficient in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. 3DS MAX<\/li>
  2. Maya<\/li>
  3. zbrush<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Tools:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I had no experience with a drawing tablet \/graphic tablet. I was using a mouse and keyboard in Blender. So I think this can be a good chance that I start to learn a new tool while learning new software. Ideally using the drawing tablet in the lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Practices:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    My current goal is to spend at least 8 hours a week learning\/practicing new software and tablet. Including not only 3D modeling but also some 2D drawing exercises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The main purpose of 2D drawing practice is to become familiar with new tools. At the same time, I think the basic skills of drawing are very important for me to create original characters in the future. But that is not the main goal for me in this course so I won’t spend a lot of time on it. It will just be some quick sketches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since my ultimate goal is to create original characters. That means all of the 3D practices will be character-related. Some of them will be pure character sculpting, some of them will be creating objects that relate to this character like weapons, equipment, scene element, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But my current focus for this course is just to improve\/learn 3D modeling skills. Because, right now, even at the end of this course, I don’t think I can create completely original characters. Due to my poor artistic foundation skills, currently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So my goal at the end of this course is I can find a 2D character that already exists and build a 3D model based on that 2D image. Like what it shows in this screenshot. Maybe a little more complex than this with more elements on the character, or have an animation created of this character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
