Course Description

Blender 2.8 is here! And it's time to explore this new frontier of 3D animation with Blender 2.8 Character Creation. This course takes you through everything you need to know to create your own 3D characters.

You'll learn how to:

  • Model a 3D Character

  • Use the Sculpt Tools in Blender 2.8

  • Bake a Normal Map and apply it to a low poly object

  • Create PBR Materials with the new Eevee Render engine

  • Use Krita to paint textures

  • Rig a 3D Character in Blender 2.8

  • Light and Render a Turntable Animation with Eevee

In this course you'll use Blender 2.8 to model the character's face with proper edge flow, so it will animate believably. You'll learn how to create hands and feet, as well as the character's space suit and helmet. We'll use the Blender 2.8 sculpting tools to create the wrinkles and folds of the space suit. Then you will learn how to bake a normal map to capture the high resolution detail, and apply it to a lower poly version.

We use the new Eevee render engine in Blender 2.8 to create PBR materials for the character. We will also create UV maps so that we can apply textures, to add greater detail to the model. You'll learn how to paint eyelashes and eyebrows in Krita, and map the textures using transparency in Blender.

When the character has been modeled and textured, we will then turn our attention to rigging. You'll learn how to create the underlying skeleton, or armature, that will control the character. And we will pose the character in the scene. We will then go over how to create lights and a turntable animation.

Blender 2.8 is an exciting milestone in the history of Blender. And there's no better time to start learning its new tools and workflows. So join me as we explore the amazing new frontiers of Blender 2.8 Character Creation!

I bought this course around the start of my journey in Blender. Coming back a year later after countless tutorials, and a little under 1,800 hours working in blender.
While this tutorial *is* a viable pipeline, it's not one anyone -- either a beginner or an intermediate user -- should use in their workflow. Spend the money if you want, (it's only $9.99 normally for the course), but you'd be better off purchasing any of the other tried and true tutorials on other platforms. I give it two stars because any time you get in blender will help you become more acquainted with the software, but I really can't recommend it for any other purpose than to keep you at the computer for a few hours.

Very interesting class. I have learned more during this small time in 2 sections of this course than I have in a animation college. I cant wait to see what's next down the line of this course, thank you so much for taking the time to help others learn the proper way to 3D model!!

This is the 3rd time I've gone through this course. Each time I get a little better. Darren is such an awesome and talented instructor. Thanks for your hard work and effort in creating the class. And thanks for taking the time to get us into Blender 2.8 and higher since major changes happened in 2.8.

By Rainer Deyke on 10/4/2020

Despite focusing on only one project, this course covers a lot of ground.

By Pietro Figura on 9/23/2020

It's a nice course, a good one to start with character creation, but the instructor often goes a bit too fast.

By Andrii Kazanskyi on 9/22/2020

hard for beginners but if you passed other blender courses, this one is to summarise all in one

By Sage Gruver on 9/15/2020

It was a very good match for me. I've tried out blender before, and I was quickly frustrated trying to figure it out on my own- a lot of resources available on youtube were hard to find or unhelpful, so I ended up giving up for the time being. However, just working along with this video, I think I have a good enough grasp to do some really simple stuff now.

By Radhakrishnan on 9/3/2020

The tutor is really very good. He explains the things very well. A very good tutorial for beginners.

By Rakhim Marat uulu on 9/1/2020

I matched a lot of function of Blender. I learnt Blender only 2,5 month, after the taking this course I knew a lot. Thanks for author. I want to say his voice is so good, thanks again!
