Absolute Beginners 3D character in Blender course

这是 Blender 课程中的 Absolute Beginners 3D 角色，我们将在这里制作这个由 Deema Egorov 构思的可爱家伙。

我的名字是 Niko，我将在这个创意之旅中成为您的主人。我是一名在该行业工作的 3D 角色艺术家，拥有超过 13 年的经验。我还有超过 15 门用于角色创建的课程，主要是在 Zbrush 中。现在我开始只在 Blender 中工作，我将向您展示从头开始在 Blender 中创建 3D 角色的工作流程，装配、姿势和呈现它。我们将制作一些道具来在 Blender 中练习硬表面建模，但由于我是一名数字雕塑家，我们将强调雕刻部分。我将向您展示使用衣服、道具、姿势制作角色并将其展示给您的作品集的完整工作流程。

在课程中，我们将首先介绍初学者应该了解的关于 Blender 的最重要的事情。然后我们将很快开始雕刻，我将制作一个基本的快速人头，向您展示雕刻并不可怕。然后我们将从头开始我们的鼠标英雄，同时我会向您展示所有必要的东西，并指导您完成从概念创建角色以及在 Blender 中快速轻松地创建角色的整个过程。之后，我们将制作身体、手和手指的基础知识。每走一步，我们都会学到新的东西，我们会重复我们已经学过的东西来巩固我们的知识。

然后我们将制作毛衣，我将向您展示一些为您的角色制作衣服的方法。之后，我们将手动重新拓扑我们角色的头部，仅使用 Blender 默认提供的工具。尽管我将向您展示用于自动重新拓扑的更快且有用的插件 – QuadRemesher。然后我们将详细说明头部并制作眼镜。

接下来我们将学习灯光、相机和环境纹理的基础知识。然后我们将制作尾巴一段时间，然后再对眼睛进行纹理处理。我们将使用我卑微的自己发明的各种技术快速高效地手动重新拓扑整个身体:)。

精制毛衣和制作风帽将是我们接下来的任务，我们将取得巨大成功。之后，我们将制作头部和耳朵的 UV，并对其进行一些纹理处理。然后，我将通过制作切肉刀武器向您展示一些硬表面技术。我们还将看到我在 Gameloft 工作了 3 年的游戏中的一些角色示例，因为我已经在那里工作了 15 年 :)。

是时候在 Blender 中学习头发和毛皮制作的基础知识了。我们将看到如何创建、调整和修饰我们的皮毛。然后是时候学习放置骨骼和装配我们的角色是多么简单，这样我们就可以制作动画或摆姿势了。我们将摆好姿势，然后固定姿势以达到最佳的最终效果。然后我们将学习如何制作透明背景和地板阴影。最后，我们将看到如何制作转盘动画来从各个方面展示我们的角色。毕竟他们是 3D 角色。

本课程适用于 Blender 和角色艺术的绝对初学者，因此不需要任何 3D 软件的经验。当然，如果你喜欢画画，那绝对是加分项:)。

有人说 Blender 有很多东西，但没有一个处于正确的水平。我会根据经验说，Blender 足以满足我制作从高多边形到低多边形和 UV 的完整角色所需的一切。在本课程中，我们将为投资组合制作一个角色，因此我们将进行高多边形、姿势、照明和渲染。所以如果你想制作你的第一个角色并最终开始你的3D角色生涯，你首先要尝试一下，看看你是否喜欢它。因此，让我们深入了解 Blender 中的 3D 角色创建世界吧！

Description
So you have heard about Blender, and you want to jump in on this free but powerful program?

Or you already use Blender, but don’t know how to make a character inside it?

Weather you are a complete beginner or a bit more advanced Blender user, you could find something for you in this course.

This is the Absolute Beginners 3D character in Blender course and we will be making this cute guy here concepted by Deema Egorov.

My name is Niko and i will be your host trough this creative journey. I am a 3D character artist working in the industry with more than 13 years of experience. I also have more than 15 courses made for character creation, mostly in Zbrush. Now i started to work in Blender only, and i will show you the workflow to create a 3D character in Blender from scratch, rig, pose and present it. We will make some props to practice hard surface modelling in Blender, but since i am a digital sculptor we will emphasize on the sculpting part. I will show you the complete workflow to make a character with clothes, props, pose and present it for your portfolio.

In the course we will start by going trough the most important things a beginner should know about Blender. Then we will start sculpting pretty quickly and i will make a basic quick human head to show you that sculpting is not scary at all. Then we will start our mouse hero from the head while i show you all necessary things and guide you trough the whole process of creating a character from concept as well as making it fast and easy in Blender. After that we will make the basics of the body, hands and fingers. With each step we will learn new things and we will repeat the things we already learned to solidify our knowledge.

Then we will make the sweater and i will show you few ways of making clothes for your character. After that we will manually retopologize the head of our character, using just the tools that Blender provides by default. Although i will show you much faster and useful addon for automatic retopology – QuadRemesher. We will then detail the head and make the glasses.

Following we will be learning basics of lights, cameras and environment textures. Then we will make the tail for a while, before texturing the eyes. We will jump into manual retopologizing the whole body fast and efficient, using various techniques, invented by my humble self :).

Refining the sweater and making the hood will be our next tasks which we will finish with great success. After that we will make UVs of the head and ears and make some texturing work on that too. Then i will show you some hardsurface techniques by making a cleaver weapon. We will also see some character examples from the game i worked on for 3 years from Gameloft, since i work there for 15 years already :).

It will be time to learn basics of hair and fur making in Blender. We will see how to create, adjust and groom our fur. Then it will be time to learn how simple it is to put bones and rig our character so we can animate or pose it. We will pose it and then fix the pose to achieve best final results. Then we will learn how to make transparent background and floor shadows. Lastly we will see how to make a turntable animation to present our characters from all sides. They are 3D characters after all.

This course is for absolute beginners in Blender and in character art, so no previous experience with any 3D software is required. Of course if you like to draw it is definitely a plus :).

Some people say Blender is a lot of things, but none of them is at the right level. I would say from experience, that Blender is good enough for everything i need to make a full character from high poly to low poly and UVs. In this course we will do a character for portfolio, so we will do a high poly, posing, lighting and rendering. So if you want to make your first character and eventually start your 3D character career, you first have to try it and see if you like it. So lets dive into the world of 3D character creation in Blender!
