I like the accent and the way he presented the course. when following the instructions I feel he knows what he is doing and is a professional. The instructions are clear and he gives reasons why to do it in that way which for me is the most important thing, to understand why to do it in one way and not another. As he is saying at some point there are many tutorials on YouTube and for me is confusing as a beginner to make my own workflow while there are so many different techniques.

High quality course! It has a good connection to the current game development industry! Easy to follow! And the course is super helpful for game developers, especially for the game character artists.

Honest Abe has been my go-to instructor on a variety of topics for a while now. It doesn't get any better than this. I would've liked to see some Unity-specific info, but as far as I can tell the setup should be pretty close to the Marmoset process he described.

Hi Abraham, it was an amazing course. Five stars for your work. It's just what I needed for Characters creation. Your explanations are clear, despite some problems in XGen on the female Character but it was good to let the video run and solve them. Good to show us what can happen and fix it. Now it's time for me to create my own Characters. Thanks you so much and see you in the new course ZBrush to 3D printing and I have a feeling this is going to be an amazing class.

XGenなどのストランドヘアーは他のCGソフトとの互換性が悪いため、 ヘアカードの作り方も学ぶ必要があると思い、このコースを受講しました。 基本的なヘアカードの作り方はもちろんのこと、 初心者が陥りがちなエラーやバグまで丁寧に説明していただけたので、 途中で挫折することもなくコースを最後まで進めることができました。 また、このコースではヘアカードだけでなく、 ストランドヘアーの作り方も解説してくれています。 今後のCG技術の発達によって、 髪の作り方がヘアカードからストランドへ移行していくだろうことを想定して コース内容を編成してくれた講師の方は非常に良心的だと思いました。 また新たなコースを受講できることを楽しみにしています。 貴重な知識・技術を共有していただき、ありがとうございました。
