Interview with
3D Character Artist, Nawin Sapchinda
Question.01
Is there a specific reason why you chose this specific topic/themes?
I've realized that many people love my anime figures and want to know the entire process of making them from the top. So, this is what I've prepared! In this class, I will show all my fans how I design my 3D anime-style characters by covering basic to advanced skills — just for beginners. Even if this is your first 3D model, that's perfectly fine! I will guide you through the entire process, from the beginning to the end. Just enjoy the class!
Question.02
What do you think is the most important trait(s) to success in your industry?
3D character art is everything about anatomy and technical skills. I remember slowly building my career by painting, sculpting, and understanding the basics of 3D. From this process, I have combined my traditional art skills with my 3D digital art techniques to form a new way of 3D art. This, is what makes my artwork so unique and special! You also need to have a passion for what you are doing. A deep passion for art keeps the motivation going. It is what helps artists push through challenges and continuously improve their 3D art. Always open your mind to new ideas and techniques! Learning from feedback is very important. Adaptability allows artists to evolve their skills and improve their careers in the industry.
Question.03
Is there anything else you would like to share with your students?
In the past, I have taught many students in my class, starting from beginners who know nothing about 3D art. Remember, when you start something very new, it will never be easy. You need to be clear about what you need to learn and understand what you like. Sometimes, you might start as a hobby and keep doing it until you realize you enjoy what you are doing. In my class, I will show you how to start from the beginning and teach you the basics of 3D, so don't worry — you will be fine. Let's make it happen.
