Anatomical Structure, Form and Base Modeling
Maarten will take students through the intial form of the anatomy as he begins the character using ZSpheres. He'll demonstrate his muscle and skin sculpting techniques where all students will learn how to achieve effective skin fold, wrinkles and detailing the base mesh.

Detailing Processes and Techniques
Taking the project to the next level includes adding several subtools such as metal armor, walking staff, clothing, etc. Here Maarten will demonstrate the many techniques used to generate meshes with shadowbox, ZSpheres and obj importing. Then on to the various methods of creating the details of ornate metal, cloth folds and texture, fur and wrapped bandages. It's an intense workout for the brain!

Retopology, Polypaint and Posing
Having a great sculpt is nice but it's not production ready. Now Maarten will cover how to effectively retopologize the mesh, begin adding in color using PolyPaint and finally posing the character with PoseMaster. In the end all students will have a complete understanding of the tools and techniques necessary to create outstanding world class sculpture as their instructor does on a daily basis for high end clients!
