This week we'll be doing a continuation of our most popular video on this channel, "How To Pose DAZ Models (+ Blender Importing)", and will in part 1 demonstrate how to set up the DAZ model importer add-on in Blender, and how to import posed DAZ models including bones and textures. In part 2 I'll show how to save poses and facial expressions, and how to import a model in A-pose, and to have them animate into a different pose, which opens up possibilities for cloth simulation during a pose animation! Lastly, in part 2, I'll show how to tweak your model's textures.

Next week we'll be back with a Design Principles video, this time talking specifically about shape language in character design.

WANT TO LEARN HOW TO BECOME A MASTER SCULPTOR IN BLENDER?

A few weeks prior to taking on the Xerocole project, I took a CG Boost course called "Mastering Sculpting in Blender", which taught me -everything- I needed to know in order to create this sculpt in Blender. Zach Reinhardt covers literally EVERYTHING you need to know about sculpting in Blender, and a bit more. If you're interested in levelling up quickly, I couldn't recommend a better course than this.

If you're interested, here's the affiliate link I was given (full transparency, I get 20% for every purchase of the course via the link, but once you've purchased it, you can become one too!): https://academy.cgboost.com/p/mastering-sculpting-in-blender?affcode=206256_vvkctu0f

POLYCOSM aims to bring you high quality tutorials looking into concept creation from a 2D -AND- 3D perspective; taking a concept from a rough sketch and turning it into a fully visualised 3D model.

The channel is run by Freelance artists Christina Myrvold and Omercan Cirit who both work in the entertainment industry on a full-time basis.

We want to show you how to come up with creative ideas, use reference efficiently and how to generate different concepts in the 2D stage that can be then interpreted by a 3D artist in a full, detailed production pipeline.
Lastly, we want to share technical tips and tricks, showcase different 2D and 3D workflows and just create awesome art together!
