Realistic Portrait Creation by CG Cookie
I include the Human portrait course because realism is a full-stack problem—materials, lighting, and observation skills. If you can train your eye on realistic surfaces and light behavior, you’ll make better decisions when building water shaders and underwater lighting.
You'll be taken to Superhivemarket to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Strengthens realism fundamentals (materials/lighting/observation)
- +Helps train your eye for believable rendering
Cons
- -Not related to water simulation directly
- -More useful if you’re aiming for photoreal work
