Reviews
"Using modo and Photoshop, Warner's SHEro Training Series takes a comprehensive look at the entire process of creating a character in 3D. This series is forged by the perfect blend of technical how-to and character design artistry. The content is delivered in a clear, concise and high-quality manner, indicative of an industry pro. However, with the SHEro training series, you get much more than just top-notch training; you get an insight into a master artist's thought process and workflow, which is worth the price alone. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Warner’s character come to life and I know you will too!"
"There is a problem with this video set and i feel I must warn you! When you start these videos, make sure you have 9 hours available because you will not want to stop. Warner has blessed us with the ultimate character tutorial set and he holds back nothing. He shares with us every detail, tip and technique. He takes us through his entire modeling process. If you ever had problems figuring out edge loops and poly flow - this set will cure what ails you! I learned tons of modo tips and tricks. Then he shines again in Photoshop doing the 2D section. I have been teaching Photoshop for 12 years and I learned some really cool tips and tricks. This tutorial appeals to 3d artists of all levels. I am not a character modeler but i honestly believe that i could model one now. I watched this set 2 times complete. This tutorial is priceless!
