I'm trying to find good tutorials for weeks, about making characters and creatures like those what can be seen on VFX movies, from ILM, and cinematic games from Blur and especially from Blizzard.

How can i make? Is there any good tutorials for this?

[Mane]

Please someone to give me advice for this.

[arttorney]

More info please. What program do you want to use?

It sounds like you might be wanting to do 3D work, but I am not sure.

I am also not sure whether we need to point you to more fundamental tutorials or advanced ones.

You can search some other forums on VFX, and you can also learn by yourself through practices, for example, watching references of characters or creatures in famous VFX movies and just simulating over and over!

I am sorry for not giving more information. I am using 3D max and Zbrush, and want to do 3d models for VFX and cinematics game.

Some of these will probably help in a general artistic sense. http://cghub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3199 (tutorials galore- check it out!)

If you are looking for tutorials about where the "realism" button is in the ZBrush menus, that is probably found through hard work and practice. Maybe if you use Google you can find some tutorials more specific to the programs. We are very helpful on these boards in the 3D CharacterForge http://cghub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=107 and 3D Creature Planets http://cghub.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=108 activities. That is where you could achieve the kind of local help that feels like an interactive tutorial. There are some classes available if you want to pay. I suspect that when you ask about tutorials you mean you would rather find free information.

If there is any kind of tutorials for this, I will pay, just i want to learn from the pros, how to do it, I don't want to watch useless speedy tutorials. Please tell me, which tutorials, how much to pay and so on.

See from this dude http://grassettiart.com/professional.htm
This kind of characters i want to do, with good realism

This Nate Wragg class might not exactly be the realism style you are looking for http://cghub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9466 since he does Disney stuff, but CGMA is talking about rolling out a bunch of other classes. CGMA is the place accessible on these boards where you are most likely to find "for pay" instruction on cinematic character production with cutting edge 3D programs.

Ryan Kingslien offers regular ZBrush workshops here: http://cghub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6970

Yea i saw CGMA workshop, ad i am not really interest, they do drawing and stuff. I am interest in 3D models. Any other workshop that's payed?

[arttorney]

Besides the Ryan Kingslien thing I found by looking around in the education subsection, I don't really know. I mostly use open source 3D programs except for Vue 9, which is an environment software. Cornucopia, who makes the Vue9 has a product specific forum and offers Vue 9 tutorials. Maybe there are similar product specific forums for ZBrush.

Most of the people on the 3D Characterforge activity are using ZBrush, Maya, or 3Ds Max. Go chat up some of those guys and they can probably tell you the best places to go learn character generation with those programs.

Blender.org has a lot of free tutorials, but it would only be useful to you in a general way if you are not using Blender.

To make characters like that you need to have a solid fundamentals of Anatomy and stuff.
So start with the basic and then proceed further.
Study and draw Anatomy and learn more about it.
You cannot achieve those things in a day. Practice and proceed.

He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.

And he who wants to be creative in a day will be at an insane Asylum in a year

Theory is really important and applying that knowledge is a gradual process.
Ryan Kingslien, Scott Spencer,Eric Keller etc are Zbrush Masters(look at some of the stuff by them)...

There are so many Tutorials available for Character design by Gnomon, Digital Tutors Etc in the Zbrush Section...

Gnomon got plenty of stuff as well by Rick Baker(legend), Aaron Sims, Scott Patton, Alex Alvarez, Vitaly Bulgarov and Many others.


Youtube and Zbrush central Classroom..etc are all there...
