“By using the Blender tool suitable for 3D beginners,
Let’s create your own 3D character.”
The first step to creating 3D characters 3D basics and application classes using Blender and Quixel Mixer
Do you think that 3D modeling is not something that ‘anyone’ can do, but is only the domain of ‘experts’? Start creating 3D characters in an easy and fun way without any burden with the free and easy-to-use 3D tool 'Blender' and the texturing tool 'Quixel Mixer'.
Basic functions of Blender and Quixel Mixer, as well as modeling, texturing, simple animation, and know-how to create files for 3D printing! Starting with simple desks and chairs that even beginners can easily make, learn the solid basics and solid application methods in 3D production by creating friendly props and characters such as cute dinosaurs and moving cats.

Why Take This Class?
In this class, you will learn two conflicting modeling methods - traditional polygon modeling and sculpting modeling - so you can feel the pros and cons of each and experience efficient modeling work that suits you.
You can also learn shape key animation to express the character's personality and personality, and learn how to create simple materials to professional and realistic materials using the Quixel Mixer to create results in various styles.
In this class, we will use Blender and Quixel Mixer to create a total of 15 results.

Speaker introduction
3D Character Artist
Junhyun Kim
hello. This is 3D character artist Junhyun Kim. I currently run '8B Studio' and produce blind box figures and blind box figures through my own character brand, 'Duntum School' characters.
We produce handmade toys. We also outsource modeling and mock-up work for artists who have 2D characters but do not have 3D data, and we are conducting character 3D modeling classes at many universities in Korea. If you only create 2D characters, you will also become interested in three-dimensional results such as figures and dolls.
In this class, we will use 'Blender', which is popular among 3D beginners these days, to teach you cute character and tin toy modeling, as well as facial expressions and animations that match the character's personality, helping you brand your character in 3D.
Based on our many years of experience as a 3D character artist and teaching offline character modeling classes, we will teach you how to create adorable toy characters more easily than anyone else.

Key features of Blender and Quickel Mixer that are easy to learn even for beginners
The quality of the results is the same as that of paid 3D tools, but the free tools 'Blender' and 'Quickcel Mixer'! We will teach you how to install the two tools and their basic functions so that even 3D beginners can use them without difficulty. You can learn in detail about various functions such as modeling, sculpting, and animating using 'Blender', as well as UV work, materials and colors with 'Quixel Mixer'.
Creating 3D toy characters based on 2D characters
For students who are curious about how to make a 2D drawing into 3D, we will teach you how to make it from 2D to 3D from start to finish. If you follow the step-by-step process carefully, you will be able to create your own 3D character in addition to the results from the lecture.
Provides learning materials for mastering 3D modeling
In this class, we provide a Blender shortcut file and a simple explanation of 3D terms to help students understand. In addition, we provide learning materials and completed modeling files necessary for modeling so that you can learn modeling easily and quickly.

Question.01
What are your strengths as a 3D character artist?
What are your strengths as a 3D character artist?
I have a long history of practical experience in numerous fields related to characters, including not only 3D character design, but also emoticon/package/4-panel comics/various goods production. We go beyond simple modeling and even produce character figures using 3D printing. Based on my practical experience, I prepared a class with the know-how to help you brand your own character by learning modeling, creating files for 3D printing, and simple animation .
Question.02
Why did you choose Blender and Quixel Mixer as your 3D character creation tools?
Why did you choose Blender and Quixel Mixer as your 3D character creation tools?
Although Blender and Quixel Mixer are free tools, there is little difference in the quality of the results compared to other paid 3D tools that require a monthly payment. Also, once you become familiar with the tools, you can work faster than other tools in terms of modeling speed, so I chose these tools.
Question.03
What are the main points of this class?
What are the main points of this class?
We focused on ensuring that even those who are new to 3D can get used to it without difficulty. By learning the basic usage and various functions of Blender and Quixel Mixer and creating various results using them, you will gradually enjoy creating 3D characters. In addition, to help students understand, we plan to provide learning materials and a collection of shortcut keys necessary for modeling, simple explanations of 3D terms, and completed modeling files .
Question.04
Who do you recommend this class to?
Who do you recommend this class to?
I recommend it to those who want to make 2D characters into 3D and those who want to use their characters in various ways. By producing in 3D, you can go beyond simply printing-based goods and create three-dimensional results such as figures or plush toys.
We will guide you through the program to use.
