3D background artist, ANCALL
“Through this class, which covers a wide range of skills from basic Zbrush skills to advanced skills, perfectly complement the basic sculpting skills you were lacking.”
Expanding your work spectrum with stylized game backgrounds
Do you want to move away from creating game backgrounds at a preview level and improve your detailed expressions and tool skills? Now, it's time to get into the 'Styliize' style, which is attracting the most attention in the 3D background industry.
While demand in the industry is increasing, related lectures are rare and difficult to learn. Stylize-style background lectures of practical quality implemented using normal maps!
ANCALL, a top-tier modeler with a background in games of various genres, will tell you how to select modeling tools such as 3ds Max and Zbrush according to the type of prop, as well as sculpting and texturing methods for each appropriate material.
If you are a background modeler who wants to have a differentiated weapon in the job market by learning high-quality stylized expressions rather than simply doing casual work, be sure to pay attention to this class.

Why Take This Class?
The normal map method has established itself as a standard beyond the industry trend by combining speed, quality, and efficiency.
However, there are many people who have specialized in normal maps or have stuck to the labor-intensive hand map method due to the lack of a structured curriculum.
In this class, we worked with props optimized for a casual style using the normal map method, and were prepared to learn step-by-step the content essential for practical use, such as the expression distinction in Zbrush and Substance Painter.
From job seekers to junior practitioners, anyone with no experience in creating casual backgrounds can become a master of the cute and casual style of Stylize.
Let's create a Stylize-style background ourselves.
Part 01. Small prop production
Let's create deformed props using 3Ds Max, Zbrush, and Substance Painter.

Part 03. Scene composition
Let's level it as per the original drawing using Unreal Engine.
Speaker Introduction
3D Background Artist
ANCALL
Hello, this is 3D background artist ANCALL.
I am currently a game background modeler with 10 years of experience working at Nexon, Smilegate, XL Games, etc., and have recently been sharing information about 3D backgrounds through a YouTube channel called ' ANCALL 3D'.
In the meantime, I have participated in the production of backgrounds for famous games such as Lost Ark, Civilization Online, and Project Overkill, and have digested a variety of genres, from live-action style to cartoon style and stylized style.
As we return with a more in-depth curriculum, we will provide you with all the latest practical tips and perspectives on the Stylize background that are difficult to master if you are not a veteran modeler.

Securing employment competitiveness through Stylize style
Even beginners are OK! With examples that anyone can easily follow, we will complete a trendy game background portfolio with a charming game background that cannot be found in other genres.
Sculpting and color expression methods that increase the density of each material
Maximize game background production techniques through a curriculum that appropriately mixes theory and practice, including design analysis for balanced shapes, modeling, baking, texturing, and polishing.
Efficient workflow from a 10-year veteran modeler
Easy to work with, high quality output! If you are a modeler creating backgrounds for casual games, we will teach you a practical stylization method that uses the normal map method to sculpt only the essential parts without losing quality.
Class composition
learn this
-
Characteristics and differences between photorealistic and stylized game backgroundsUnlike photo-realistic backgrounds, we will learn what to pay attention to and what to emphasize when creating stylized backgrounds, and even practice expression techniques through specific examples. -
Understanding simplified modeling and deformationStarting with an understanding of the basics of Stylize modeling and deformation, we will learn what kind of silhouette gives a casual feel and the subtle differences in feel depending on the bevel. -
Stylish sculpting mastered with ZbrushLet's look at how to use Lasso tools and masks for more concise expressions and edgy finishes. We'll cover all the parts you've always known about but haven't been able to utilize.
-
NPR texture implemented using normal map methodRather than using the so-called 'hand map' hand-painting technique of the past, we will express NPR (Non-Photorealistic) texture using the efficient normal map method introduced in casual projects by game companies these days. -
Stylize Prop Example Practice of Various DifficultiesLet's master each type, material, and size at once from basic to advanced stages using prop examples that frequently appear in Stylize background production practice. -
Leveling method to bring out the charm of 2D original paintingsBased on the original drawing created specifically for this lecture, we will learn how to create and compose a compelling scene by setting up the material in the engine.
