The Structure of Your 3D Modelling Course

CHAPTER 2

INTRODUCTION TO MAYA

We’ll walk through installation of Maya, Substance Painter, and Unreal Engine, followed by a guided tour of Maya’s interface, essential panels, and modeling toolkits. You’ll learn about the Outliner, transform tools, and poly modeling basics, as well as how to use deformers, curves, and UV editors effectively. By the end, you’ll be ready to navigate confidently and start building your first 3D forms.

This chapter includes:

5 Lectures

CHAPTER 3

CHARACTER MODELING - PART 1

Here, the real creation begins. You’ll start by setting up image planes to serve as blueprints for your character, then move into sculpting and shaping within Maya. Step by step, you’ll create the base mesh for each main section: face, torso, legs, arms, hands, and shoes. Emphasis is placed on proportion, silhouette, and efficient modeling practices to prepare for later refinement. You’ll gain hands-on experience sculpting directly in Maya and managing edge flow as the form evolves.

This module includes:

8 Lectures

CHAPTER 4

CHARACTER MODELING - PART 2

This chapter covers the crucial process of retopology. Using Maya’s Quad Draw and modeling tools, you’ll rebuild your mesh to achieve clean, optimized topology suitable for animation. You’ll work through each section - face, torso, arms, legs, and shoes - learning to place loops strategically for smooth deformation and easy rigging. The focus here is precision and efficiency, turning your sculpt into a production-ready model.

This module includes:

6 Lectures

CHAPTER 5

SUBSTANCE PAINTER

Now it’s time to bring your model to life through color and material. You’ll get familiar with the Substance Painter interface, learn the layer-based workflow, and apply smart materials, masks, and hand-painted details. The chapter demonstrates how to achieve believable textures, adjust roughness and metallic properties, and export texture maps tailored for Unreal Engine.

This chapter includes:

5 Lectures

CHAPTER 6

UNREAL ENGINE 5 & Mixamo

In the final chapter, you’ll assemble everything in Unreal Engine. Import your character and textures, build materials, and set up a simple scene. You’ll connect Mixamo animations, apply lighting, and adjust the camera to create a polished presentation of your character. This final stage demonstrates the complete production pipeline - turning your modeled, textured asset into a fully realized 3D character within a game environment.

I recently started working with Maya at my school, and the course has been a great help in advancing the content of the classes and reaching a higher level than my classmates. I'm really happy, 10 out of 10.

____ Blanca Diaz

I've already acquired a wealth of knowledge and resources that will undoubtedly be very useful in my professional career. Thank you very much and congratulations on this course.

____ Pedro S.

The course was excellent. I learned how to create a 3D model from scratch in a clear and practical way, but what I found most valuable was the Unreal Engine part...
