Modeling a Character in 3ds Max with Ryan Kittleson covers the process of designing and building a 3D human character that can be used for feature film, broadcast, and games. The course begins with an overview of the 3ds Max tools and techniques used in character modeling, and how human anatomy is represented using 3D geometry. Once this foundation is in place, the rest of the course goes step by step through the actual process used to model a simple human character from the ground up, including facial features, musculature, and details such as hair and clothing. Exercise files are included with the course.
Topics include:
* Extruding edges and faces * Working symmetrically * Setting up the image planes * Creating the basic facial structure and features * Modeling and fleshing out the body * Creating the hair with extruded NURBS curves * Modeling clothes * Putting on finishing touches * Understanding UVW maps and seams * Dealing with UVW maps across multiple objects
