INSTRUCTOR :
My name is Steven Andriantsiratahina and I am a 3D artist who has worked on video games, architecture and animation.
GOAL OF THE COURSE :
By the end of this course, you would have a full final render of a realistic exterior of a building.
This course will start off with the very basics of creating simple shapes, then we will learn how to use polygon modeling to create objects from reference and imagination. Then we will learn to texture and animate those objects.
Later on in the series we will learn how to add a skeletal system to a human model and animate that, creating a simple walk cycle.
The course will contain assets that are ready to download to help you start some of the projects. The instructor will then guide you towards the steps needed to get to the end result.

Thank you for offering this course. Through it, I began to learn many of the basics that I was missing. I hope to finish it as quickly as possible so that I can master working on the 3D Max program as quickly as possible.

I like the way the instructor simplifies the 3D process. He is very clear and concise with his approach and makes the course feel non-intimidating. For years, I have been intimidated in starting 3D. I am happy I found a course that can put my mind at ease.
