I will start the course with Maya basics in case you have never used Maya before. Then I will model the character in Maya. After that I will unwrap UVs in Maya and then I will Switch to Substance painter and texture the character there. Then I will export textures into Maya and setup Lights, material and texture there. Then I will rig the character and then I will animate the character and create a walk cycle. After that I will work on the cloth so I will use ncloth for both the cloth and the hair simulation. at the end we are gonna render the animation sequence using Arnold.
