about the course

What will you learn?

This course on 3D for 2D Artists will help students understand how powerful 3D is and how to take advantage of different techniques to translate 2D skills into full 3D scenes. You will render multiple scenes while learning to incorporate 3D techniques into their concept art workflows. 

Initially, the course will focus on the essential 3D tools to quickly generate great 3D base images that can be presented as blackouts ready to be polished in painting software. Students will create an entire environment based on their own 2D drawing or sketch, getting multiple shots to tell a story.
