 “Excellent course for those who want to improve their techniques. It is an advanced course, so it is important to have at least a basic knowledge, but even if you don't know, Sefki explains each step very clearly and presents different solutions. Definitely one of the best investments I have ever made.”

 “The course was absolutely amazing, and I knew from the start that it was worth every penny! I picked up so many great sculpting techniques, along with clever solutions for those little challenges that every modeller runs into at some point. On top of that, the positive and encouraging atmosphere during the lectures kept me motivated and in the zone, making the whole learning experience even more enjoyable. I was able to complete my personal work with so much excitement and confidence! What made it even better was how **comprehensive** the course was—it covered everything from **sculpting, texturing, and look development to grooming and even rigging**! This well-rounded approach gave me a deeper understanding of the entire pipeline, making the learning process even more valuable. A huge shoutout to Sefki and my awesome colleagues for their continuous support and valuable feedback—truly grateful for this journey!”

And most importantly, in an EFFICIANT way. It made me gain so much time instead of having to figure everything by myself. He has a good community that will help you if you need help during the process. I can't say thank you enough and I 100 % recommend this course to anyone who loves character work.”

“I've been a huge fan of Şefki's work for a long time, so when I got the chance to learn from him, I didn’t think twice—and it definitely didn’t disappoint. What I really appreciated was how the course didn’t just rush through the steps but actually explained the "why" behind everything. That made such a difference in how I approached my project and gave me the confidence to take on challenges I’d normally shy away from. Şefki’s feedback was incredibly helpful throughout, constantly pushing me to refine my work in ways I hadn’t even considered. I’m honestly blown away by how my final result turned out—it’s better than I ever expected. I’m already looking forward to going through the course again for my next project and seeing how much further I can push my skills. For anyone looking to level up their character work, this course is an absolute must. It’s hands down one of the best learning experiences I’ve had.”

 “I always had high expectations for the course ever since Sefki announced it and it delivered. Arnold is kinda complex at least to me but I managed not just to learn but actually improvise and make stuff of my own just as the author wants to teach you. 10/10 really gangster course”

 “An absurd amount of information, covering everything from start to finish in creating a realistic character. Every step is worth it! I improved my quality in a short time. If you're looking for a worthwhile course on the market, this is definitely it. Just make sure you have free time to learn, because there's a lot of information!”

 “This course deserves all the praise. Completely worth the investment. It’s incredibly well-structured and packed with valuable insights. The creator’s feedback is exceptional and makes a huge difference in your learning experience. It gave me the tools and confidence to achieve exactly what I set out to do. Even after completing it, I find myself revisiting the materials to refine my skills. Honestly, it stands out as the best course on this subject, and it’s refreshing to see something of this caliber available to everyone.”

 “I think Şefki's course is the best I've ever taken for creating 3D art. About two years ago, when I was just starting with ZBrush, I was awe-struck by the hyper-realistic 3D portraits I saw on ArtStation and thought creating such art would be impossible for me. Fast forward to when I discovered Şefki's course - by following his process to the best of my ability and with his guidance, I was able to create art I'm truly proud of. His course is not just a treasure trove of experience and knowledge but also an invaluable investment for anyone serious about mastering 3D art. His teaching style is incredibly easy to follow, making the learning process both effective and enjoyable.”

 “I learned a lot of technical techniques for minor concerns and problems that any modeller experiences at least once. In addition, I was able to hear kind words in the lecture that helped me maintain my flow of thoughts and mental rhythm while working, so I was able to complete my personal work with a very enjoyable attitude while working. I would like to express my gratitude to Sefki and colleagues once again!”

 “Five stars without a doubt. Well worth the money I spent on it. It's a really awesome and comprehensive course! The feedback from the course creator is invaluable. The course helped me achieve what I wanted to achieve! This is the kind of material where you still can keep using and referring to it to improve even after completing the course. I think it's probably the best course available right now on this subject and I think it has been a long time since something similar has been released to the public.”

 “As a big fan of photorealistic portraiture, I find it a bit challenging to find truly useful and problem-solving information all in one place. Often, I have to search extensively online just to find one answer to my questions. In such a specialised field as realistic portraiture for VFX pipeline, this course is an absolute treasure! Sefki has generously shared his incredible expertise and provided a wealth of data and information, enabling me to push my characters to a higher level. If you’re passionate about creating photorealistic digi-doubles, I definitely recommend taking a closer look at this course!”

“If you’re into 3D art and dream of creating characters so realistic they feel alive, "Hyperreal 3D Character Creation" by Sefki Ibrahim is the course you need. Seriously, this guy is a master of his craft! Sefki breaks down everything from sculpting and perfecting skin textures to creating realistic hair, animating the character, and rendering stunning shots with photographic precision. His teaching style is super approachable yet packed with pro-level tips. Also, the bonus content included in the course is incredibly helpful and adds even more value. What really stood out to me was how he emphasizes giving the character soul. It’s not just about making them look realistic; it’s about making them feel alive. Plus, the support you get from Sefki in the Discord channel is invaluable—he’s genuinely attentive and takes the time to help everyone. Whether you’re aiming for a career in games, VFX, or just looking to level up your 3D skills, this course is a true investment. Absolutely worth it—10/10 recommend!”

“This course is perfect for those who already have some experience in 3D, although beginners can also figure it out with enough dedication. It covers key aspects of creating a hyper-realistic character, such as sculpting, lookdev, rendering, and even working with clothing. Many of the techniques presented have been very useful to me for current and future projects. The section on Xgen, particularly the techniques for creating realistic hair, was especially impressive and well-explained. Şefki goes into detail on each step of the main stages of character creation, offering clear and thorough explanations. The intermediate steps are also covered, sometimes not as in-depth, but still clear enough to figure out on your own. In the end, this course significantly enhances your skills in creating realistic characters and provides an excellent skill set for future work. Highly recommended!”
