CARTOON CHARACTER 3D MODEL SERIES
PART 04 We continue this FREE tutorial series of creating a 3d character from start to finish and move on to 3d modeling the head with the correct topology for animation later.Ĭorrect topology is important around the eyes and mouth for correct deformation when your character blinks and speaks for lip-syncing.

GREAT TIP: We have so far worked with symmetry, but now I will show you how to create an instanced mirrored half instead, allow us to then use our F key for focusing around smaller areas with the camera.Ġ:00 – Clean up mesh – learning the slide edge toolĠ3:14 – Setting up instanced mirrored geometryġ1:12 – Fingers – extrude with keep faces together off There are a few things you need to be careful of when 3d modeling hands, mainly the thumb anatomy and the correct place to extrude the polygons from.Īgain we start with simple poly modeling and extruding out the fingers and adding detail with the multi-cut tool in Maya This is PART 03 where we tackle modeling the hands. This is PART 02 where we s tart polygon modeling the body torso, legs, and arms.Įven if you have never created a character before I will guide you through step by step There are some really helpful tips, like setting up a special X-ray material that we can part see-through with different levels of opacity to help with 3d modeling.ġ5:45 – Setup a special Xray material for easier modeling In this first video lesson, we will cover how to get your character designs onto front and side image planes and best practices to assure correct 3d poly modeling workflow.ģD Modelling a Cartoon Character in Maya.Ġ0:45 – best practices to set up your character design profilesĬharacter Image Planes: I highly recommend you building your own design as you will learn more from it, but if you want to follow along, you can download my cartoon boy image planes Download here: Setting up image planes in Maya is essential for any 3D modeling of characters or geometry assets.
