This course will introduce you to the principles of digital lighting to create film quality images
In this course, we will take you through the process of creating an organic model suitable for CG Animation and VFX. We’ll go from breaking down the initial asset brief, creating a moodboard and gathering reference to blocking out the asset, creating production-ready topology and UVs, and then finalising the model for the next stage of the pipeline and rendering.
Through practical examples, this course will guide you through the modelling process and the tools and techniques that will allow you to work efficiently and effectively.
