Great work on your Advanced Production Modeling assignment AnimSchool student Lou Thompson!
Learn to model 3D characters for use in 3D Animation!
If you’re serious about pushing your 3D modeling skills from “good” to “studio-ready,” the Advanced Production Modeling class at AnimSchool is one of those rare courses that bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world expectations. You'll take an approved stylized character design and execute a full 3D character, from body to hands, feet, head, clothing, and props.
The goal is a model that isn’t just appealing, but structurally sound and ready to add a rig for use in animation.
"I'm super excited to share my latest project created for LookDev & Grooming at AnimSchool. Concept art by the brilliantly talented Yu Ngyugen @yunguyen.artist
Thank you to my awesome instructor Jackson Spencer for being such a great mentor and for helping me learn the ropes of RenderMan as well as XGen this term. What a journey diving into XGen for the first time has been!"
-AnimSchool student Zeenath Fathima.
Stellar work Zeenath!
AnimSchool’s Look Development & Grooming class teaches you how to take a model from “finished” to believable and portfolio-ready. You’ll learn to:
Create appealing textures, materials, and shaders
Build believable hair, fur, and realistic textures and materials .
At AnimSchool, you’ll develop the skills to give your work a polished, professional look that stands out.
You’ll get live feedback, real workflows, and practical demos that translate directly to industry pipelines.
📅 Fall Term enrollment closes Monday! Don’t miss your chance to level up your reel and stand out in a competitive job market.

Thank you, Nina Tarasova @nina_modelling3d , for being my instructor for these past 11 weeks! I couldn't have finished these characters without your mentorship and guidance.
