ABOUT THIS CLASS
This course guides students through the full 3D production pipeline, from initial concept references to final rendered portfolio-ready assets. Students will create a complete character or prop asset using industry-standard tools such as Blender, ZBrush, Maya, and Substance Painter, with AI-assisted workflows integrated at key stages (concept generation, topology cleanup, texture enhancement). The final project emphasizes both technical competency and creative expression, equipping students to adapt modern AI workflows into established pipelines while maintaining professional-level craftsmanship. By the end of the course, students will deliver a fully textured, posed, and rendered 3D model, presented in a polished showcase format, suitable for inclusion in a professional portfolio.
Learn the full 3D production pipeline using Blender, ZBrush, Maya, and Substance Painter, integrating AI workflows to create a polished, portfolio-ready character or prop asset.
