Class introduction
Key Techniques for Expressing Realistic Emotions in 3D Character Faces!
Is it all over just because the modeling is nicely completed? Only when proper texturing and rendering are implemented perfectly can a high-quality result be completed.
In this class, you can learn not only realistic facial expressions, which are the core of 3D characters, but also the skills necessary for more realistic facial skin, eye, and eyebrow texture expressions and rendering work.

Speaker introduction
3D Character Artist
Jason
Hello. This is Jason, a 3D character artist.
I am currently working as a Senior Character Artist at EA Respawn in the United States. I have participated as a modeler in projects in various fields such as movies, advertisements, and TV, and I am participating in projects in the game field such as Call of Duty and Apex Legend.
In this class, we have prepared to intensively learn the process of texturing and rendering the face of a realistic character based on the tools and pipelines used by actual Triple A game companies.
In addition, I think it will be a useful time to share tips on career paths related to overseas employment that I have actually experienced, along with various technical aspects.
I will share with you all the practical know-how I have accumulated while working as a 3D character artist at Triple A Game Company.

Class Highlights
Create Ultra-Realistic Faces in AAA Games: Tools and Techniques for High-Quality Expression
Until now, although there were many time-lapse videos showing the process of creating realistic characters, it was difficult to access the detailed work process and know-how of actual triple-A game companies. In this class, you can learn how to effectively utilize various tools such as Xgen, Arnold Renderer, and Photoshop in the post-modeling stage to create high-quality ultra-realistic face results.
Summary of Common Mistakes and Important Points That Are Easy to Miss
If you study on your own, you may be at a loss as to what part is wrong and how to solve it, right? In this lecture, rather than simply showing the production process, we will point out common mistakes made at each stage and areas that are easy to miss on your own, and present solutions so that you can easily understand them.
Practical Tips You Need to Know to Build Your Career as a 3D Artist
Job hunting tips from real practitioners! Through this class, we will inform you of various employment and practical know-hows gained while working at famous overseas companies such as EA Respawn and Activision Treyarch, as well as content that is practically helpful in getting a job, such as visa, portfolio preparation, and interview preparation.

Interview with
3D Character Artist Jason
Question.01
What is the most important point when creating a character?
What is the most important point when creating a character?
Texturing is not just about realistic depictions; it also has to incorporate all of the character's background into the texture, and finding harmony within it is the hardest part, but I think it's the most important point. In fact, I think it can be said that training your eyes by watching many works is a factor that has a great influence on character creation.
Question.02
Who do you recommend this class to?
Who do you recommend this class to?
I think this class would be good for those who want to upgrade their quality through realistic characters. Since texturing and rendering for realistic character creation cannot begin until modeling is completed first, we recommend that you prepare to some extent for the modeling part first before starting. I think this will be a good opportunity to answer the questions of those who are curious about the actual tools and know-how used by Triple A game companies.
Question.03
What are the points you focus on when constructing the curriculum?
What are the points you focus on when constructing the curriculum?
In some ways, the texturing and rendering tasks handled in the class are part of the look development process, which is the final step. That's why we're going to teach you the detailed know-how needed to create high-quality 3D characters. Since the resources used in the actual gaming field are limited, we will generously share tips for maximizing efficiency within them.
