Anime Character Creator: Make 3D Anime Characters in Blender (Udemy.com)

The course was very simple to understand, I somewhat understood most of the topology building, but I would've appreciated a little more explaining or maybe a model that had good anime character topology. But I did learn a lot and that is what I came for and I am satisfied with my new knowledge

É bem difícil achar cursos que ensinam como fazer um personagem no Blender. Muitas das vezes são aqueles bem simples, ou então outros que são de alta qualidade, mas com mais de 40 horas de curso. Também tem alguns de anime, porém com qualidade duvidosa, parecendo até que o instrutor usa alguma coisa. Mas esse aqui é muito bom. O instrutor é incrível, ensina passo a passo e também o famoso “por que disso”, além de mostrar outras maneiras de fazer a mesma coisa e acompanhar tudo junto. Algumas críticas, né. Eu demorei mais do que o necessário, na minha visão, mas foi porque perdi a vontade quando estava modelando o personagem, que realmente é algo bem cansativo e repetitivo. Porém, quando decidi continuar, foi que nem água. A parte de unwrapping, pintura e de fazer o esqueleto foi realmente tranquila, e consegui absorver bastante disso. Entretanto, acredito que, se eu tentasse fazer o personagem novamente sozinho, não conseguiria modelar tão bem, pois isso realmente vem da prática. Já as partes que eu falei que me saí melhor (que provavelmente são as mais fáceis kk), tenho certeza de que conseguiria fazer de novo sem problemas. Talvez então seja interessante adicionar mais práticas na modelagem de personagem, como fazer variações de diferentes partes do corpo, assim pegando mais prática. O curso é ótimo pra quem já sabe o básico do Blender e quer aprender mais, principalmente na parte de personagens. Claro, não sou alguém pra falar muito disso, pois foi meu primeiro personagem feito. Entretanto, acredito que pra ficar bom nisso realmente é prática, treino e muito tempo investido, fazendo de novo, de novo e de novo. Enfim, recomendo muito você comprar o curso, vale muito a pena. Translated English: It’s really hard to find courses that teach how to make a character in Blender. Most of the time, they’re either very simple ones or high-quality courses with more than 40 hours of content. There are also some anime-related ones, but with questionable quality, sometimes even looking like the instructor is using something. But this one is really good. The instructor is amazing, teaching step by step and also explaining the famous “why” behind things, showing other ways to do the same task and following everything along with you. Some criticism though. I took longer than necessary, in my opinion, mainly because I lost motivation while modeling the character, which is honestly very tiring and repetitive. But once I decided to continue, everything flowed smoothly. The unwrapping, painting, and rigging parts were actually very easy, and I managed to absorb a lot from them. However, I believe that if I tried to make the character again by myself, I wouldn’t be able to model it that well, since this really comes from practice. On the other hand, the parts I mentioned I did better at (which are probably the easiest ones lol), I’m sure I could do again without much trouble. So maybe adding more character modeling practice, like making variations of different body parts, would help build more experience. The course is great for those who already know the basics of Blender and want to learn more, especially about characters. Of course, I’m not the best person to judge this, since it was my first character ever. Still, I believe that getting good at this really requires practice, training, and a lot of time invested, doing it over and over again. Anyway, I highly recommend buying the course, it’s totally worth it.

I already knew the basics of Blender and had created a few characters by following YouTube tutorials. However, this is by far the best video series I’ve learned from. The instructor explains clearly and at a steady pace, sharing many useful techniques. Highly recommended if you already have some basic knowledge of Blender and want to learn the full process of creating a character.

Outstanding and very comprehensive course that exceeded my expectations, even in light of the already glowing reviews. I’ve done a couple hard surface modeling courses in the past and had a decent basic grasp of the tools, and this course was the perfect next step for me, Grant is obviously a fantastic instructor with a patient, empathetic and thorough teaching style. I’m certain I will be referencing these lessons as I attempt to work on my own characters going forward.

wow awesome course, at first I didn't like it, then he gave me the basics (such as texturing, modeling and other) although I have already taken many courses, Personally I really liked the course, I RECOMMEND!!! but 1 min: Where can I find similar references to create my model?

I bough the course to learn about character creation and I'm happy with the contents of it. I think course should be look as a starting point, it teach you the fundamentals and I think it does it well. This is the second course from Grant that I complete and I think he does an excellent job, I'd totally recommend it to anyone that want to start with character creation.

Just like the other courses I've taken featuring Grant, the topic was explained with an upbeat cadence and with an unreal talent for teaching. Challenges aplenty throughout the course to help more involved individuals in spreading their wings. I can't wait to get to work on my next course, hopefully featuring Grant once more!

This course is perfect for learning the rope to create a humanoid character! But strong basic skill of Blender is needed. Nevertheless, Master Grant Abbit is an excellent teacher for teaching this course. Anybody can be good at Blender but that doesn't mean they are good at teaching it. Master Grant is both good at Blender and good at teaching Blender.

Amazing course, while the character in question may not look "anime-ish" for some people, the topology, rigging and texturing techniques are the useful for anime style modelling. My suggestion is to do this course as it is, and then re-do it with a more japanese style concept art following the same topology and techniques, I did that and I am glad with the results from the course.

É um bom curso intermediário, Grant tem uma ótima didática, embora as vezes possa parecer que você só está seguindo o fluxo e não fazendo muito por conta, é só ter paciência que conforme passam os módulos ele vai fazendo cada vez menos e te desafiando mais, antes de seguir com o resultado. Uma coisa que senti falta foi de não ter um módulo para ensinar a fazer line art, que seria o risco preto em volta do personagem/objetos como é feito nos animes, acho que seria uma boa já que se trata de um personagem de anime. Também não aprendemos muito sobre Cell Shading, vemos um pouco sobre quando estilizamos o cabelo, mas somente para isso, o corpo todo é estilizado através de texturas (muito legal essa parte inclusive), apenas uma preferencia pessoal que seria aprender mais sobre shading. No geral, recomendaria sim o curso, tanto para iniciantes quando para intermediários
