Learn the basic techniques to model and build cartoon-style 3D props
If you want to go from imagining to creating fantastic worlds, 3D scenes, and cartoon-style settings, this is your course. Albert Valls, who has worked in Framestore for big productions like Avengers: Infinity War, Thor: Ragnarok, and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, will be your guide throughout this course.
Learn all the steps to create your own 3D scene from scratch: starting from the idea, to blocking, and scene composition to the final render for your portfolio. Along the way, Albert shows you techniques and tools to help you turn your imagination into reality while learning the working methodology used by professional studios. Finally, go through texturing. The final objective is that you can learn to tell your own story through the creation of a scene.

A course by Albert Valls Punsich
From a very young age, Albert Valls was very interested in cinema and art, devouring films, books, manga, and comics all the time. This led him to dream that one day he could create those fantastic worlds he enjoyed so much. Following his passion, he studied Audiovisual and Multimedia Art, and then entered the digital world of 3D, becoming a 3D generalist.
Specializing in modeling and scenario creation for VFX, animation, and television, he has worked both nationally and internationally for several studios. Among which stands out his work in Framestore for big productions such as Avengers: Infinity War, Thor: Ragnarok, and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

This is very enjoyable and educational. I learned so much from this single course that I can apply in all of my artistic work, not just 3d, but any cartoon illustration!
