Sangwoo Park
3D Artist


Hello, I'm a 3D artist Sangwoo Park.

I've mainly been working on
modeling, texture, and shading
in the animation industry.

Previously I have worked on different styles
such as children animation,
PBR, stop motion, etc
and currently I'm working
as an Asset Director
on cartoon rendering
and stylizing at Studio Mir.

I have also experienced lots of difficulties
trying to translate foreign resources
for my studies on cartoon rendering,
In this class, I will share with you
the knowledge and skills I've obtained
working as a modeler
for "DOTA" and "The Witcher"
using a very useful program called Blender.

Question.01
How's the marketability of 3D cartoon rendering?


In an era when a lot of content is overflowing like now, it is not easy to continuously create new IPs. So, there are more cases of creating content by processing existing popular IPs that have a 2D illustration look such as cartoons and animations. As games and 3D animations of this style continue to be created and popular, cartoon renderings are meeting more and more demanding audiences.
Question.02
Which part is the most difficult for students who are just starting cartoon rendering?


Cartoon renderings look simple, but it requires anatomical elements just like live-action. It is also important to create a pretty look from a variety of angles, not just one specific angle. A good look can come out when you look at it with a 2D feeling rather than emphasizing the realistic feeling of 3D, which many artists find difficult to do.
Question.03
What is the point that differentiates this class from another?


This class is one of the very few classes that is actually being used and applied in the animation market. In this class, you can learn the whole animation production process using just one tool, Blender. As you understand the whole work process of Blender, you can learn the skills applicable in your current work process or when using a different program.
