[101] MODEL MAKING

Model Making 101 is a structured course designed for creators who want to learn how to build and modify character models from the ground up. The course is divided into five progressive levels, each one focused on developing practical skills that can immediately be applied to real projects.

You will start with the fundamentals of model preparation and workflow, learning the tools and basic concepts required to work efficiently. As the course progresses, the focus shifts toward detailed creation techniques, including how to build and edit faces using Paint.NET and Photoshop. These lessons cover texture work, facial structure adjustments, and practical methods used to achieve clean, high-quality results.

Hair creation and modification are also covered in depth. The tutorials explain how to work with existing assets and how to customize them so they properly match the character you are building. This includes adjustments to textures, shapes, and overall styling to ensure consistency with the model.

The final levels introduce Blender as a tool for deeper customization. You will learn how to import models, modify meshes, adjust components, and refine details that cannot be edited through textures alone. These tutorials are designed to make Blender accessible even for beginners while still providing techniques useful for more experienced creators.

Across all five levels, the course emphasizes practical workflows rather than theory. Every section contains guided tutorials that show the full process step by step, allowing you to follow along and build your own models as you learn.

By the end of the course, you will understand how to create, edit, and customize character models, including faces, hair, and structural details, using a combination of Paint.NET, Photoshop, and Blender. This makes Model Making 101 a complete starting point for anyone interested in learning how character model creation works and how to apply it effectively in their own projects.
