Best Character Artist tutorial?

p.francescoven · Oct 2017

Hi guys, i'm looking for a good Character Artist (for games) tutorial.
I'm asking here, cause I seem only to find tutorials that lack of something here and there.
Which tutorial do you suggest?

I haven't gotten a chance to watch them but maybe check out Adam Skutt's tutorial on game characters.

3Dmotive has cheap tutorials.

@p.francescoven can you please explain what you mean by lack of something "here and there." That sounds unclear./

Yeah, I've came across very good tutorials, but sometimes they only cover some parts of the workflow. Like for example they would model the whole high poly character, and just render it as it is. I'm looking for something that explains everything, from anatomy, to clothing, retopo the whole model, baking maps, texturing etc

I'm pretty sure Adam Skutt's tutorial covers all of that. One thing to keep in mind is Adam's stuff is for hyper real characters so that would have some differences from hand painted stylized characters workflow. General principles would still apply but small details would differ.

I did Skutt's class and I can only say that he covers pretty much everything and in a very clear way. He has a class soon too (starting October 15th), so if you have the money and you are going for realistic characters it might be a good class.

For the full body anatomy you might still need Grassetti's gumroad or someone else. We covered the basics, but there was not enough time to go into detail with the body. I am not sure if the on-demand bundle on GAi has lessons that the class didn't have, but I doubt it.

For anatomy, my recommendation would be Scott Eaton's online courses.
