🚀 Our new Master 3D Characters in Blender course just launched



Hey Reader,

Zach here

Great news, our new course Master 3D Characters in Blender has just launched! 🥳

Stop talking, take me to the course page 🏃‍➡️

Have you ever paused to look at the characters in your favorite movies or games and thought: "Man, that looks so good, I wish I could create something like that. I wish CG Boost made a course that teaches me exactly that!"?

But while patiently waiting for us to make the course, you start carefully sculpting your great character idea, and you realize it's surprisingly hard.

The process of creating 3D characters is complex, but with the right guidance, it's not only achievable, but can be quite fun.

Now I’ll leave the rest to Jim Morren, the course instructor...

Meet Your New Instructor

My name is Jim Morren, and I’ve been creating 3D characters for many years.

Together with CG Boost, I’ve designed this course to walk you through the entire process of building a high-quality 3D character in Blender—from sculpting the body with correct anatomy, to the finer details like clothing folds and stitches, hair grooming, and creating accessories.

The character we’ll focus on is named Luna—but by the end, you won’t just know how to create only one character; you’ll have the skills to bring practically any character to life.

With the launch of the course, we also created a cinematic trailer that shows off the model and all the fine details of her design. Plus a bit of the world she inhabits

What This Course Teaches

Master 3D Characters in Blender is divided into three comprehensive parts:

Part 1 - Modeling & Sculpting
Dive right into sculpting and learn to craft a character from scratch. Along the way, we’ll cover anatomy basics and create details like clothing and accessories. We’ll even tackle more complex modeling for items like Luna’s jetpack.
Part 2 - Retopology & UVs
Here we will focus on cleanup up all the meshes from our character, making sure we have good topology and that everything is nicely UV unwrapped.
Part 3 - Texturing, Shading & Grooming
Here, we'll bring our character to life. Covering not just the creation of smart materials that adapt to our models, but also texture baking to bring texture layers together and optimize our character. We will conclude this part with some grooming using hair curves and diving into Geometry Nodes.

Why Master 3D Characters?

My goal with this course isn’t just to teach you how to create our main character, Luna.

While we cover that in great detail, I don’t believe there’s a single "right" way to create 3D characters. Instead, you’ll learn a variety of flexible workflows, giving you the freedom to adapt your approach based on the project or style.

What I’m most proud of about this course, is seeing the diverse range of characters our students have already brought to life.
