MAGES Digital Sculpting Course
The design of the character is a very integral part of a game as it connects the player to it. This 3D Modelling course covers advanced Modelling techniques used for building 3D characters for games. The 36 hours course spread across 6 weeks will also give the overview of the Next-Gen pipeline and will teach you how to merge different parts to form a character. The interface and tools, creating key plates/references or the high resolution characters, understanding the importance of anatomy all are included in this digital sculpting course offered by MAGES Institute.
