Course Description

Want to learn to make characters quickly and easily in Blender, that you can use in your games, animations or graphics?

Maybe you’ve found Blender hard to learn and don’t have the time for a big course? Or you’re more of an intermediate user but finding character modelling tricky?

In this course, you’ll learn how to navigate Blender and the fundamentals of modelling quickly with a simple step by step approach. All while creating fun, stylised characters. You'll use texture grids, pose characters using basic rigs and add animations to characters with Mixamo.

By the end of the course you’ll have built up the skills to create your own characters, with different styles, hair and clothing. You’ll also be able to adapt asset pack characters that you've downloaded, to create new and different characters.

And you'll know how to quickly and simply add animation to them, which you can then use in your game engine or animations.

All the time, you’ll be benefiting from Grant’s years in the industry as he shares helpful tips and tricks to speed up your workflow, enabling you to create low poly artwork quickly.

This course is perfect for complete Blender beginners to intermediate users looking to improve and learn new skills.

The only course prerequisite is that you're able to install Blender 3.0.

All students have access to the Q&A where our Instructors, Teaching Assistants and Community are ready to help answer your questions and cheer on your success.

So come and create some cool, fun characters now!

Nothing against Grant, he's a great Instructor. I'm just going thru the basics part and I'm past the basics, even having been out Blender for a good year or more. So, great work y'all, I'm just going thru the motions to make sure I'm not missing anything until we get to the "juicy" stuff. Update. I'm giving it 5 stars because I've been able to get right to where I need to be with very little issue. Great job, Grant. Stellar job as always. Keep up the good work, mate!

Grant Abbitt’s teaching style is clear, encouraging, and easy to follow—even as we tackled modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation. I appreciated learning how to build characters from scratch and using Mixamo was a great bonus for me at the end. I’m walking away with practical skills and real confidence to keep creating in Blender. Highly recommended for beginners and intermediates alike.

I've learnt a lot from this course. but I want more detail about export to Unity such as normal or something that Blender can provide to Unity. (I know that I want is out of scope of this course Hahaha) Thanks for your great course. I love this course and lecturer.

Amazing course, Grant has a great pace of things and he lets you know what you are doing at any point he is also very experienced with blender , i am new to blender and i managed to get a lot of information in a short period of time, in a few lectures grant runs to quickly with the material but its ok, i highly recommend this course. thank you Grant and Gamedev.tv

Amazing class teaching the basics of character development. Grant is the best Blender teacher hands down! That should say a lot since I got tens of blender classes here of different teachers. I ended up buying all his classes and with each I learn more. Highly recommended.

I already followed Grant's work from his YouTube channel. His way of explaining is really clear and on spot. Can't recommend it enough, for beginners and intermediate 3D artists looking to level up their game in simple characters modeling.

By Arvin Dzaky Daniswara on 2/9/2022

Very Good! The videos are very understandable. I love how the instructor explains things very clearly. The modelling tips are very useful for not just modelling characters, but you can use them to model types of furniture. This course is very good for people who don't have any experience with modelling low poly characters. (9/10)

Starting course feedback: I enjoy the slow and easy teaching style of Grant. He repeats things a lot which I find helpful and the challenges are great too. Halfway thru Couse Feedback: I'm really happy to have confidence in what I've learned so far. My growth since beginning the course is this. When I screw up my model, I've been able to successfully fix it myself, without having to ask for help, by applying my understanding of what occurred to my model with what I learned from Grant. I'm really happy to have this skill.

Instructor provides excellent step by step guidance for creating low poly characters. He provides a steady pace with clear explanations to all the steps required to follow his examples. Never does he go off topic or dive into advanced topics that have not been explained. I never felt lost or confused about what to do next. That said, I always felt that new information was provided at just the right time to move steadily through the material. Excellent instructor. Great material. Looking forward to his next course on my list.

By Luke Jamieson on 11/23/2021

Very good course. Delivers what it promises. The production isn't quite a high as the other GameDev.tv courses. The challenge sections would benefit from a dot-point slide show screen like some of the other courses have.
