Question.01
Please share your thoughts on
3ds Max and what you see in the
industry's future.


3ds Max has always been widely used, but toon shading methods with both the hand-drawn quality and the 3D effect are becoming increasingly popular as they can produce cartoon-style outputs. Characters created with the toon shading method are highly sought on in casual games, VR avatars, and Vtubing platforms, cementing their position in the industry.

Question.02
What is your strength as a
3D character artist?


Many modelers know how to use Zbrush or 3ds Max, but character modeling is an entirely different field which requires a special skillset when creating 2D-vibe, charming girl characters. Throughout my experience, I've developed a unique modeling method well-suited for cartoon rendering and toon shading that is recognized as one of the best in the industry for creating cartoon-style girl characters.

Question.03
What is the main focus of this class?


Of all the functions in 3ds Max, I will be teaching you the essential techniques for modeling cartoon-style girl characters. This curriculum is more than just a simple tutorial of a 3D modeling tool, organized to help you create different shapes and improve your poly modeling skills by you through many types of cartoon-style girl characters.

Question.04
Who would you recommend
this class to?


Beginner modelers who want to learn about poly modeling with 3ds Max used in many different areas and platforms, professionals looking for a quick lesson on creating cartoon-style girl characters, and budding 3D character artists who want to create their own or become professional character modelers.
