You will learn how to start with a basic idea or a concept to create a world of its own using simple tools and techniques. You will go through the whole process like concept artists in real studios do, and discover what it's like to be a part of a project for an animated movie. I'll demonstrate the workflow of a concept artist. We will start with a line sketch and slowly work through the artwork by using techniques like Photobashing and 3D concepting to create a final piece. This course is perfectly suitable for people who don't know how to draw since I use basic techniques and simple examples. You will still be able to produce a great result, even with no prior knowledge!

In this course you will start from creating a simple model of a longboard in Maya and then learn how to texture it in Substance Painter right away. After that, we'll show you the ropes on a simple example. There is a real challenge for you: you will need to create full a 3D hard surface character from our animated movie that we've made for this course!

This basic course covers the core aspects of Cinema 4D without going into too many details. This course will provide you with the basic knowledge about 3D world fundamentals and you'll be able to figure out how to deal with various Cinema 4D tasks without need to search for tons of tutorials.

In this course, we will start by exploring the branding psychology behind effective designs and ways to create your own composition by using grid systems. We'll also explore texturing inside Cinema 4D and the techniques of creating different moods.

What we love doing here at Yeti is exploring new visual languages. Our favorite way of working is expressing our ideas via dynamic simulations. Cloth, fluids, smoke, everything can be art directed and work as a tool for design. We will set up projects so that they are animation-ready.We will dissect plugins like X-Particles, Turbulence FD and Realflow without ever leaving Cinema4D, along of course with the powerful native tools of our favorite software.Last but not least, we will discuss the importance of art directing your shots in such a way so that they are presentable to clients, along with a brief overview of Octane renderer's features that are applicable in simulations.
