This course is not designed for beginners. It assumes a certain level of knowledge in 3D character creation and familiarity with the software used. I'd suggest starting with the basics first and then using this course to further enhance your skills.
You will gain access to downloadable content, such as a cross-polarized eye texture set, bespoke light setups and light textures ready to be integrated into your scenes, an Xgen expression sheet including hair colour randomisation and my basic rig and controllers, among other resources!
