About the Course

The profession of a 3D Artist is ideal for starting a career in game development. These are artists who are engaged in developing textures, creating objects, environmental elements, characters — in the learning process you will understand what exactly you are interested in modeling. Such specialists are needed in small studios, which juniors usually start with, as well as in larger companies, to free senior artists from simple tasks and shift their attention to new projects.

What You Will Learn

You will start exploring 3D by studying the Blender 3D program and additional programs for creating layouts and textures. You will work with textures and create your first building model with environmental elements based on your own concept or concept arts from 2D graphics courses.
You will master Maya, Substance Painter, ZBrush, Marmorset Toolbag, understand when to use each program, go through the full cycle of creating an object — from concept to final model — and create four projects from scratch.
You will learn to create a 3D model of a stylized character that is fully ready for implementation in game engines and pose it in dynamic poses, improve your skills in working with materials in the Substance Painter program and master additional programs for 3D modeling.
You will have practice on real tasks from game studios: you will apply the skills you have acquired, get acquainted with work processes, receive final feedback and recommendations.
