" A series of three-dimensional characters for an animated video clip » Content. The content of this work is the analysis and application in practice of the principles and modern technologies for creating three-dimensional models of characters, prepared for further animation. 3D sculpting, modeling and texturing of a series of three-dimensional characters were done, preparation of these models for animation, visualization. The series consists of the following characters: Little Red Riding Hood, Wolf, Lumberjack, Nyhl, Dobby's House Elf. In the process of working we used programs for working with three-dimensional graphics ZBrush 4R7, 3ds Max 2016, 3D-Coat DX64C, Marvelous Designer 3, Autodesk Maya 2017, xNormal 3.19, Substance Painter 2, Marmoset Toolbag 3, image processing editor Adobe Photoshop CS6.
