In this lesson, Nick will first cover the basic terms and tools involved with sequence illustration. You will then craft a story concept and jump into Daz 3D to begin creating your own character. From here, you'll take your character to Maya to layer on even more detail. Nick will even cover how to alter your 3D textures in Photoshop or Substance Painter.

Nick, I noticed you spoke a lot about the Brief Builder Tool but there are no resources in the course and no tools as well. Where do I find the Brief Builder Tool?

Hey Rafael, I know it's been quite a while since you asked this, but we just launched an interactive Brief Builder tool which you can find at www.briefbuilder.app

Hi Nick. Great course. I have a question about characters and DAZ. Is it possible to adjust characters or create characters with Brush (or other 3D SOFTWARE) and import them in to DAZ (again) to pose all of the different poses that I would need? I know I can use maximo, but posing in DAZ is much better. And another thing that I find difficult to find any free or paid tutorials on is how to treat textures when importing/copying models from kit bash sets. Emmanuel Shiu said in the interview on kit bash 3D when he made a cover for one of the sets that he deleted all of the textures and added just one of them on all, since he was going to paint over it all anyway. My renders suffer from either being to heavy or looking like a cheap model instead of photorealistic. Even if I add dept of fields, etc. You said something about this in chapter 2, but I still feel that I dont have good enough understanding of this part. Do you have any suggestions or knowledge of where I could learn about this specific topics? (I use Modo. And I just started using blender. Maya is to expensive for me right now) Anyway, thank you for a great course, just what I needed:)

I know this is a late response, but Maya Indie is actually only $265/yr. It's available for single seat users making less than 100K.

Not a full answer to your questions but in case you weren't aware, there is a substantial discount now Maya. Believe it's $500 for an indy license for the year. Still a lot I understand but less then what I was paying out of pocket recently.
