Course Description
Certificate in Digital Sculpting
This Certificate in Digital Sculpting course is designed as a week by week introduction to Z-Brush to help you realize and explore your concepts efficiently in 3D.
ZBrush is an industry standard sculpting and 3D modelling application commonly used in animation, AR/VR, film/TV, illustration, jewellery design, prop making, and general sculptural practices. It is used as a tool to conceptualize and then fabricate those ideas, bringing them into reality.
It is critical that any 3D sculptor has the advanced skills needed to create convincing characters, worlds and their role. This requires them to command a variety of digital practices and technologies to the final completion of complex creative projects. This course is focused on that outcome.
On successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Evidence competency of the 3D software (Z-brush) in an appropriate context.
- Synthesize the various technical elements required of the 3D (Z-brush) production process.
- Evaluate the various roles and process required of a 3D (Z-brush) sculpting pipeline.
This course will be taught by Sean Forsyth, a leading 3D sculptor and educator in this area. Sean has worked as a 3D Modeller, Texture Artist, Fur Groomer, Technical Director, CG Supervisor and Art Director in the animation industry for over 14 years, supervising multi Emmy award winning television cartoons in that time.
At the end of the course, you will understand the interface and basic workflows required to continue using the software to create your own 3D models. Both organic and hard surface modelling techniques will be explained and explored.
