In this DVD, Angela Guenette walks you through her approach on modeling a character within Blender 2.5. She demonstrates the tools used in Blender and techniques on how to create efficient topology with clean edge flow. This will facilitate the creation of facial and body deformations for rigging and animation use.

Over 40 hours of practical step-by-step recorded work, for an expected total running time of 6 hours. Pace of the DVD combines both real-time & timelapse recordings, accompanied by voice narrated audio commentary.

DVD includes 9 reference images from 3d.sk (used with permission from 3d.sk and are marked with their copyright), prepared background images, concept designs, and .blend file of final completed character model.
