Squirtle: VFX Modelling & Texturing Series

In this series I go through the process of texturing and modeling this lovely turtle from start to finish. I will go through my methodology and workflows with step by step narration. Along the way I’m going to talk about it all: Design, UVs, modelling, sculpting, Texturing, topology and even a few failures.

I use Zbrush, Maya and Mari with a small section using Substance Designer. I will not be teaching the very basics of the software but do have 11 mini lessons throughout to teach techniques I use throughout :)

Files Included:

• 21 x Narrated Videos (Just under 7 hours of footage if I've done the maths right)
• 11 x Mini Lessons
