In this video, I am using ZBrush to sculpt a character from scratch. In fact, in this series, we will be working on the character named Mr. Arata from beginning to End. If you catch me on the live stream, you can even participate in making design decisions. Mr. Arata is a creation made by contributions from all of you.
At this point, Mr. Arata is a Magician who tries to get dragons under his control. He needs their power to take revenge against the king who is to blame for his wife's death. His wife was a demon... This is how far we got. Can't wait to get your ideas :)

This video is the 10th part of 40 in this very detailed tutorial series about modeling. Ill take you through all the steps of anime style character creation in the 3d software called Blender and without any time lapse.
If you havent watched it already make sure to go through part 0! In that video Ill show you the final result and tell you all about the modifications I did with my version of Blender. Also youll find the references in the description of that video.
By the way, the character design was made by the creators of Sword Art Online and all credit goes to them. Im using it as an example to teach how to work with real characters as youd find them in any animation.
Thanks for watching!")

Download on BlendSwap: http://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/86549
So Ive created another character.
Going from 2d to 3d is quite difficult, especially with anime style characters. In this tutorial Im showing you my approach to modelling. The recording is speed up about four times, so the whole process took about 4 hours.
So Ill cover modelling of the face, hair, some cloths and set up some simple shading.
Im using Blender but feel free to use any Software you are comfortable with for your projects.
Hope this helps!

![Improving my Anime Character Modeling Workflow [ProjectUpdate]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tiKqIGKEt4g/mqdefault.jpg "Improving my Anime Character Modeling Workflow [ProjectUpdate]
So Ive practiced some modeling once again. Ive focused on ways to get more detail into my anime style characters. This time Im using cloth simulation and sculpting as well as retopology to archive the result you can see in the video. Ive also created a low poly version, tried to bake normal maps and rigged it in a simple way. Basically it is game ready but not very refined yet. Anyways, I hope you like the project!
