3D Character Creation: Retopologizing For Animation - Zbrush (Udemy.com)

Very clear instructions, explains the reasons for her actions. Explains the importance of learning certain tools thoroughly and also advises of additional learning resources that may assist your overall understanding.

Yes, this course is an excellent match for my learning needs. I am gaining a much better understanding of the how's and why's of retopology, along with a sense of what processes might be best to use for certain kinds of models. Thank you, Corazon!

The sound quality is very poor. some voice is lost, making the presenter hard to follow at times. The content is repetitive. It could all of been covered in a quarter of the time, and important aspects are mentioned but not covered. for example, its great to create a low poly mesh, but there is nothing on recovering the high poly detail or mapping. overall its a bit sparse on actual content as the same techniques are repeated over and over. no need for that, do it once, we can watch it twice if we need to.

Course does what it says in the title. But in my opinion this is a half of the job should be done to this subject. Here is the thing. After 2-3 videos you already know all the ZBrush tools and "basic idea" behind the flow of topology. I write basic because in my opinion there should be shown rigged model, YES fully rigged where instructor show exactly why you are retopologizing the mesh, in what areas and why is that. All shown based on the movement of the joints. I would like to see some top class 3D models topology reference where we can study and confirm idea behind the flow of topology(Especially face) and all the niuanses. With all due respect to the instructor, but seeing some part of this sculpt i don't find it very good as a sculpture and design wise so... i am not necessarily sold trusting your word - it is the right way. Sorry. So... after 2-3 videos you just watch more of the same, it is not entertaining and it doesn't has any added value. Just a repetition. Good for newcomers to Zbrush not necessarily for those who knows this environment. But OK, when it comes to knowledge transfer Instructor does her job very well. You will know whole 2-3 Zbrush tools and how to more or less setup their params. And this is another problem - "Zbrush tools". Yes, this tut is about Zbrush and I new it from the begining but others should be aware of this - None is treating Zbrush seriously when it comes to Professional Retopology tool. Even instructor says that she is going to record topoGun tut. Whole industry uses Maya, 3DCoat, topogun and even Blender. Just be aware of it :) ZBrush team still working, fixing and improving ZRemesher and ZSphere tools but they are not the greatest in the world. They just are... in the same package :) But the biggest issue where value of this course drops drasticly is this: When you teach retopology you show only one way - > how to drop the number of vertices remaining the main shape and good topology flow. But this is half baked product. What you should obligatory show to these people is how to bring does details back. How prepare subdivision levels, project detail, bake normal maps ect. Otherwise you leave them with false message. That this is it, it's over, your done with modeling. You aim for people who are newcomers to the field so treat and speak with them like that. And do not cut corners when it comes to knowledge because you plan to release more products... Resuming Overall good but only with discount.

Ottimo per apprendimento del metodo sulla retopologia, mi sarebbe piaciuto l' applicazione delle texture. Qualità video è un po scarsa, sottotitoli non coerenti sulla traduzione.

Yes, I want to understand the correct way to mesh a character as I'm planning on creating a short story that may involve some animating. Corazon is clear and concise as she explains the necessary benefits of proper topology for animation. Looking forward to the rest of the course!

While I did have experience with topology, I had only a vauge idea of how Retopology works in Zbrush. (Mainly just sort-of using ZRemesher for auto-topology and hoping I won't get spirals if I draw the curves correctly.) This course however helped me understand the available tools in Zbrush much better - which immediately reflected in increased quality of the ZRemesher topology. (Which cuts down cleaning it up later manually by a hefty sum). Looking forward to the Texturing course - will definitely go for it.

This tutorial is really worth every penny. explanations are clear and instructions are easy to follow. The combination of the instructor's knowledge, her confidence and her ability to demonstrate that knowledge to people without it is really the essence of being a good teacher.

As a beginner this is the best zbrush topology course for me. This helped me understand the core basics in using topology tools and I have learned a lot of techniques from the instructor. A must have topology training. Great stuff!!

It is pretty much what I expected based on previous experience from your other tutorials! Which awesome. Everything explained very nice! The pace is not very fast, just the right amount in order for you to understand what you see, so that you can replicate it on your own in the future. Great work!
