⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceeded my expectations! This course is packed with valuable knowledge and is incredibly helpful. The instructor explains everything in a clear, structured manner that makes complex topics easy to grasp. It completely lived up to my expectations, and the practical examples were exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommended for anyone looking to master character modeling...

By Aşkın Efe Kayınova on 5/15/2025

Good course in general but lots of skiping ahead and not explaining certain parts. Why not record all the process all the wayi, even if therecording time gets big. Other than that good course.

By Clement Chapelle on 3/6/2025

As always, this course by Abraham Leal is absolutely outstanding. The exercise is captivating, and the sculpted character is created using a variety of tools that continuously help you master ZBrush. Abraham’s advice is incredibly valuable ! He takes the time to explain every detail clearly, all while maintaining an inspiring and positive atmosphere. I truly enjoyed this course and made tremendous progress. Thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge! My dream of working in a studio one day feels closer thanks to you

By Santiago Tomassi on 4/20/2024

This is one of the few times I've enjoyed the character creation process 100%. You explain things in a simple and intuitive way, Abe! Thank you so much for your knowledge and expertise; I think that's the most valuable thing beyond just knowing how to use the program's tools. Thank you for your interest in teaching; thank you, instructor! I hope to return to one of your courses again. P.S. It would be great to see Thyros integrated into Unreal!

By Sedthawut on 2/22/2024

These are very great courses, it's one of the best courses I have found in Udemy. This course provides the most useful information and techniques the modeler should have such as anatomy, clothes, detailing, and props. I can do the complex character after completing this course. Very satisfied with spending time and money on this course.

By Zoe Browne on 1/6/2024

This is a really great course! The instructor seems friendly, happy and never shys away from mistakes he may make during this process. He doesn't go too fast and doesn't just focus on what makes a good character but also what would be suitable for a real production. I now have a character model that is different to his, but used the same techniques. I am excited for the texturing course next!

By Luka Sandvoß on 11/7/2023

I really likle this course, it helped me alot for the base mesh of my character, the instructor is very clear and direct in what to do. I personally would have loved to see a bit more variation and side explores on some topics because not everyone is doing the exact same character. All in all this course is a recommendation to everyone who wants to get started in characterdesign. I would recommend doing a different character tho, it helps to learn te concepts the instructor teaches in this course. And for everyone who wants to go further. Take a texturing course as well and maybe think about doing the clothes in marvelous and hardsurface assets in blender or maya. This increases ur portfolio and you learn the workflow between different programs

By Derek Drake on 8/7/2023

It was great, i feel like i can sculpt almost every single character that i want to, even with the hard surface and the Z modeler i can figure out a way to make character concepts into 3d ones with all the tools that i learned thanks to this course, as far as topology i think it was pretty solid with the decimation tool, you can go nuts with the detail and the decimation tool will preserve almost every detail, of course with textures you won't even notice the difference and the loss of details, and if you bake it, it would be as if you didn't even used decimation. this is not my first Zbrush tutorial i watched another one but this one reinforced a lot of stuff, like the importance of Boolean and Zmodeler. thank you for making sculpting and the understanding of anatomy so much easier.

By Leonardo Gutierrez on 6/3/2023

This course is incredible, super practical and the teacher does not save anything, he teaches you everything he knows and does it step by step, yes, there are several things that he does not show as he does, especially with Zmodeler, but it is recommended that you know how to use it and how to use Maya or Blender before this course, I would also recommend that you know how to export objects from Maya or blender to Zbrush, just to speed up the process.

By Kirill on 4/22/2023

Thank you, Abraham, for your hard work! I've seen a lot of courses from different artists, but your course is unbelievably cool! So much useful information learned in a short period of time. Previously, I did not understand the basic things, how to increase the resolution of a dynamesh conveniently, I tried to sculpt at a low resolution like Nikolay Naydenov, but I did not succeed (sorry, Nikolay:)). Thanks to you, I will use less divides, thanks, Abraham! More subscriptions to your channel!!! If you have time please consider a course "from rigging to ue5" with character for AAA
