Sangwoo Park
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.

Interview with
3D Artist Sangwoo Park
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.
Required Programs
This class is taught on Blender 3.0.1 version.
Please install the above program version(s) for an optimized lecture experience.
*Using a tablet is recommended in the texturing step, but it is not a requirement for the class.
*Auto-Rig pro is used in the rigging section, and it can be purchased in the Blender Market.
*Programs and/or materials will not be provided.
* Later versions than Blender 3.01 can also be used.
