Course Description:

MudMot Character Pro is a comprehensive course that teaches students how to create and design 3D characters using MudBox, a digital sculpting and painting software. The course covers a wide range of topics, from basic structure creation to advanced sculpting techniques, rigging, and animation.

The course starts with an overview of MudBox’s interface and tools, followed by an introduction to character design planning. Students will learn how to create basic structures and apply sculpting techniques using various tools, such as selections, maskings, and polygroups. They will also learn how to use advanced brushes and subdivision modelling to create intricate details in their characters.

The course covers various sculpting techniques, such as creating and sculpting with stamping and stencil, flipping and mirroring sculpt layers, using displacement maps to sculpt, and sculpting with local subdivisions. Students will also learn how to use masking with layers sculpting, stencils as sculpting tools, and how to create different symmetry with brushes.

The course delves into advanced rigging and animation techniques, including 3D motion capture, cycling motion and editing, and MotionBuilder data exchange in 3D tools. Students will learn animation techniques for faces, plotting, Fcurve, and triggering, as well as HIK character, retarget and control rigs. They will also learn how to create motion and character poses, cycling motion data, and add lights and camera to export previews and scenes.

The final section of the course covers the character lifecycle, where students will learn how to create character portfolios with props, add details by modeling a character, adding realistic materials, and working with hair and cloth simulation. They will also learn key lighting techniques with natural and artificial lights, rigging and skinning characters, and animating character expressions and gestures. The course concludes with rendering using camera techniques.

Overall, the MudMot Character Pro course provides students with the knowledge and skills to create and design complex 3D characters using MudBox. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of the software’s tools and techniques, as well as advanced rigging and animation skills. By the end of the course, students will have created a portfolio of high-quality 3D characters, ready to be showcased in the industry.
