Making incredible

characters is

possible in Dreams.

W

elcome back,

Dreamer! This

tutorial will be a

bit different to

previous ones,

as it will be less of a step-by-step

walkthrough and more of a

general talk about how you can

sculpt characters in Dreams,

starting with your basic idea and

then blocking it out.

Characters are, at least in my

opinion, more challenging to

create than environments. Human

or human-like characters are

especially difficult to get right.

We’re so used to seeing humans

every day that even the smallest

mistake in proportions or

anatomy is quickly noticed, even

by people who aren’t used to

critiquing artwork.

The tutorial isn’t about the

mechanics of using the puppet in

Dreams, but about sculpting a

character that you can later hook

up to one. There are plenty of

great YouTube tutorials on how

to use the puppet.

I use PS Move controllers when

I create in Dreams and highly

recommend them.

WE’RE SO USED TO SEEING HUMANS
