3D CHARACTER RAPID BOOTCAMP
What is 3D Character Rapid Bootcamp?
3D Character Rapid Bootcamp is a fun and easy-to-follow training program that shows you how to make your own 3D characters using Blender... even if you’ve never done 3D before!
In just 14 days, you’ll learn how to sculpt, model, and paint cool characters step by step. No guesswork. No confusing videos. Just clear lessons that help you get real results fast.
This bootcamp is made for beginners who want to learn quickly, create awesome characters, and maybe even start a portfolio for future work or freelance jobs.
If you’ve ever wanted to bring your characters to life, this is the place to start.
The 3D Character Rapid Bootcamp is a shortcut for total Blender beginners in 2026
Let’s be honest:
Learning how to make 3D characters in Blender can feel really hard.
Sure, you can find videos online. But finding a simple, step-by-step way to learn how to make 3D characters in Blender?
That’s really hard. Most lessons are all over the place, and you have to figure it out by yourself.
It’s good to spend money on learning, but not everyone can pay thousands of dollars for teachers or fancy 3D programs.
The good news? You don’t need to spend a lot to start.
Most videos either show you how to use Blender or how to make a character — but not both.
And a lot of them think you already know what you’re doing. Really hard for beginners to understand and keep up.
You've seen time-lapse videos of anime or game characters being sculpted.
They’re fun to watch...
but they don’t teach you how to rig, how to pose, or how to export to game engines.
Most tutorials stop at the sculpt.
But in the real world, static characters don't get hired.
You need characters that move, react, and perform.
Our audience on YouTube made it clear... you're asking:
How do I rig my character in Blender?
How do I add bones and controls?
Can I animate and export a rigged character for Unity or Unreal?
That’s why this course doesn't just teach you how to sculpt.
It shows you how to build characters that actually move.
Why Does This Exist
Originally, we created this program as internal training for our production team.
We used to send new artists to YouTube...
but they couldn’t follow the tutorials.
Too much was skipped.
Time-lapses didn’t explain anything.
People got lost.
We decided to build something better.
A full step-by-step system that assumes you know nothing.
We repeat concepts and workflows because real life gets busy, and you’ll need reminders.
Even if you’ve done a tutorial before, you might not remember it two weeks later.
That’s why we also created Quick Start sections for faster review.
And Blender Quick Notes, so you never waste time scrubbing through videos to find a hotkey or function.
Then we listened to our students.
Many had great portfolio work. But when they applied to jobs, they were asked:
“Do you know Maya or ZBrush?”
So we added Maya for Blender Users training to help you bridge that gap and apply with confidence.
What You'll Learn
How to sculpt and model a complete character from scratch
How to unwrap, texture, and shade it for rendering or real-time use
How to rig the character with bones and controls, even if you’ve never rigged before
How to weight paint and skin your rig properly
How to pose and animate your character using simple walk cycles and actions
How to export to FBX and bring your character into game engines like Unity
How to reuse your rigs and speed up your workflow
How to get unstuck with Blender Quick Notes: A searchable library of 8 to 15 second tips for hotkeys, menus, and tools
How to get help in our private Discord community, where students and instructors give real feedback

Student Testimonials
What Industry Professionals Are Saying
"What Dwayne's really gifted at is turning knowledge into a community thing... He wants to engage with people, he wants people to learn, and none of that surprises me whatsoever."
- Kwesi Davis
General Technical Director,
Walt Disney Animation Studios
"Dwayne was great at taking an abstract idea or something where maybe not the most technically sound note that you're receiving from an art director and quickly turn around and sort of organically update the coding, or update the tool to be able to achieve that."
- Chris Ghio
Senior Character/Blendshape Artist
Electronic Arts (EA)
“I tell everybody—steal my ideas, because they’re not really mine. They’re just ways of doing things I’ve come across. If you want to give me credit, that’s great, but if not, I’m not flustered. The important thing is that the industry learns and moves forward.”
- Brian Tindall
Veteran Character Artist & Rigger,
Pixar

Yes! You only pay one time for this course, and you get to keep it forever. There are no extra costs or surprise fees.
Blender is free because the people who made it believe that everyone should have the power to create. The Blender team wants artists, students, and creators all over the world to be able to use great 3D tools — without having to pay a lot of money.
Blender is run by the Blender Foundation, and they believe in something called "open source." That means the software is open for everyone to use, share, and even help improve. They don’t want money to get in the way of learning or creativity.
Instead of charging users, Blender gets money from people and companies who donate or sponsor the project — like game studios, animation companies, and even big tech companies like NVIDIA or Epic Games. These sponsors help pay the team so Blender can stay free for everyone.
Yes! The 3D Character Rapid Bootcamp gives you everything you need to get started. But if you want to go even deeper, there are extra options you can choose.
You can pick a higher level when you sign up to get even more training — like the Legendary Edition, where you’ll learn to make anime-style characters, or the Diamond Edition, which shows you how to make super-realistic human faces.

It’s a simple, step-by-step course made for beginners who want to learn 3D character art without getting confused by long or tricky tutorials.

Whether you want to make characters for games, cartoons, or your own art, this bootcamp helps you build the skills and confidence to bring your ideas to life.
Here’s how it works: Jump into the program, go through the lessons, and try the steps for yourself.
If you stick with it and don’t feel like you’ve gotten better after 30 days, just send us proof that you practiced (like a screenshot of your work), and we’ll give you a full refund.
