Intro
Inside PsyTag’s 3D World
Stylized 3D art thrives on personality, bold design, and motion that commands attention. If you’ve ever wanted to bring your own original characters into expressive 3D worlds but felt overwhelmed by where to start, this class provides a clear, intuitive roadmap from concept to finished animation.
In this course, PsyTag shares his personal production workflow, developed through years of creating stylized 3D animations. You’ll work through the full character pipeline in Blender, covering custom low-poly modeling, bone rigging, dynamic animation, and hand-drawn 2D visual effects with Grease Pencil. Each stage is broken down into practical, actionable steps, helping you understand not only how each technique works, but how they come together to create a cohesive stylized sequence.
Rather than following a rigid script, you’ll apply these techniques directly to your own creative projects and original characters. By the end of the class, you’ll have a polished animated sequence and a repeatable workflow you can adapt to future personal projects, portfolio pieces, or freelance work.
