Blender Character Creation for Games and Animation

Info:

What you’ll learn

Model a 3D character in Blender

Use Blender’s sculpt tools to create folds and creases for clothes

UV Map a 3D character

Bake a Normal map in Blender

Create textures in Krita

Rig a 3D character in Blender

Use Blender’s Weight Painting tools

In this course you will create a 3D character for games and animation, from the first polygon to the final rigged character.

You’ll learn about:

3D modeling a character in Blender

Modeling clothes and accessories in Blender

Using Blender’s sculpt tools to create creases and folds in clothes

UV mapping a character in Blender

Texturing in Krita

Painting textures for hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes

Baking a Normal map in Blender

Rigging the body and face of a character in Blender

We’ll begin by creating a base mesh of the character in Blender, going over how to create the head, the body, the hands and feet. And then from this base mesh we will create the character’s clothes, using Blender’s sculpt tools to create creases and folds. Next, we will UV map the character in Blender, and go over how to create a unified UV map that can be used to create texture maps in external paint programs, like Krita. You’ll learn how to bake a Normal map in Blender to capture the high resolution sculpt detail and apply it to a lower poly model. Finally, we will rig the character in Blender and adjust the weights so that it deforms believably during animation.

This course uses only open-source software, Blender and Krita, to create a character that is ready for character animation in Blender, as well as for import into any 3D game engine, like Unity and Unreal.
