This tutorial by Warner McGee takes you through the process of creating a character in MODO. The first part (Part I) of this tutorial covers modeling the character, where you will bring your drawing into MODO and then model the character from head to toe using MODO’s powerful and easy-to-use modeling tools. The second part (Part II) covers UV’ing, texturing, lighting, posing and rendering the character, finished up with a few final touch-ups using Adobe Photoshop®.

Warner McGee has over 20 years of experience as a professional illustrator. Creating this stylized character will not only help you understand topics important to every character artist, but you will gain access to Warner's secret workflows and artistic insights. By the end of the tutorial you will have a finished, rigged character and the knowledge you need to create 3D characters from your own design.
