Want to be a part of the booming 3D Industry? You only have a few days left to join our four week, beginners' CGWorkshop in 3ds Max. With Certified Autodesk Instructor Pat Gombarcik, students will quickly discover how to model, animate, light and texture.
Author and certified instructor, Michele Bousquet, is back with her ever-popular 'Low Polygon Character Modeling' CGWorkshop. The course will cover different kinds of character models from people to multi-limbed monsters. Here's what a student said about the course:
I learned not just what I hoped I would learn, primarily texture mapping for game characters but a lot of other things about how to create good quality models that will doubtless help me with my personal animation projects and with my career in 3d wherever that may take me."
James Mallard, Student, Low Polygon Character Modeling I
