CgMasteracademy - Grooming for Animated Characters (Only 3 weeks)

毛發修飾可以是許多動畫角色模型和設計的延伸。鑒于許多動畫工作室使用自己的專有軟件，僅僅知道如何使用發型修飾軟件是不夠的。在本課程中，我將教您查看關鍵角色設計細節、在發型修飾中執行和改進這些設計細節、在 3D 中解決問題以及講述角色的故事。

本課程旨在模擬工作室環境，從設計啟動到常規評審，所有這些都是為了在最后準備好一部電影質量的發型修飾。在整個課程中，學生將學習如何制作一部動畫電影質量的發型修飾，熟悉工作室的評審風格和工作節奏，并學習如何在 3D 發型修飾軟件和頭發著色器中排除故障。在課程結束時，學生應該擁有一份高質量的作品集。

請注意：學生應該在參加課程時具備一些發型修飾知識和首選的軟件。本課程的重點不是任何特定的軟件，而是使用這些工具獲得藝術效果。

本課程中涵蓋的修飾原則可以轉化為任何修飾軟件；講座視頻中使用的主要軟件是胡迪尼。

Grooms can be an extension of the model and design on many animated characters. Given that many animation studios use their own proprietary software, it’s not enough simply to know how to use hair grooming software. In this class, I’ll teach you to see key character design details, execute and improve upon those design details in the groom, problem solve in 3D, and tell the story of the character. This class is set up to mimic a studio environment, from design kickoff and routine reviews, all with the goal of having a feature film quality groom ready at the end. Throughout the course, students will learn how to make an animated feature film quality groom, get familiar with the review style and working cadence at a studio, and learn how to troubleshoot in 3D grooming software and hair shaders. By the end of the course, students should have a high quality portfolio piece. 

Please note: students should come into the course with some grooming knowledge and a preferred software to work in. The emphasis of the course will not be on any particular software, but on getting an artistic result using the tools.

Grooming principles covered in this course can be translated to any grooming software; the primary grooming software used in the lecture videos will be Houdini.
