Interview with
3D Character Artist Minjeong Shin
Who Is This Course Suitable For?
I recommend it to 2D artists who want to recreate their characters in 3D, and those who are interested in 3D and want to create 3D characters as a hobby. If you start for self-development, or a small hobby and not for employment, I think it is a good opportunity to enjoy wonderful results and a sense of accomplishment.
What Are the Characteristics of Your Work That Only You Have?
I tend to put a lot of effort into modeling, but I also try to make the character's charm stand out as much as possible when I post-edit in Photoshop. Creating a character, this modeling process is the most important part, but the quality can improve by filling in the missing parts in the post-production. In the class, we will tell you in detail how to do post-editing to make the other details stand out.
What Is the Most Important Thing to You When Working?
As a 3D character artist, I think the most important ability is sculpting. Basic sculpting must be good in order to produce quality characters. So, in this course, we prepared a fun and easy way to learn through step-by-step examples so that you can become familiar with the function of sculpting.
What Is Something That You Want People to Take Out from Your Course?
Most importantly, you can understand the overall production process for creating 3D characters, as well as the basic usages of Blender, and features for creating characters with Blender. When I first started self-studying, the most difficult part was the overall production process of character creation. However, in this course, I think that you will be able to easily understand the flow of the overall production process of the character and obtain satisfactory results by making the character yourself.
