MAYA CHARACTERS
A free video course to help you create your first character
This issue, we’ve joined forces with Pluralsight (formerly known as Digitaltutors) to offer you a comprehensive video training course that you can download from our online Vault – for free! Simply visit our online content downloads page at www.bit.ly/vault-220-ghost for the files. Characters are a critical part of any movie or games pipeline and are a really popular area of study for artists. Character creation can be a tricky thing to pick up early in your 3D career, and modelling will be your first step on the way to doing so before adding flair with posing and textures later on.
In this easy-to-follow guide from Justin at Pluralsight, you can learn how to create your very first character from scratch in Maya. Head to the Vault now to download the course and get to grips with modelling with deformers; building the head, arms, legs, boots and gloves for your character; and discover how to add detail for smoothing and accesories.
