Elevate Your Character Design Skills with C&R's Seminar!

C&R Corporation is excited to announce an engaging seminar titled 'Anime, Realistic, and Stylized: A Comparative Seminar on Character Expression' scheduled for January 23, 2026. This event will take place at the company’s Tokyo headquarters in Shinbashi, specifically in Hall A on the 5th floor. Targeted at 3D CG creators, the seminar aims to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western gaming markets by highlighting differences in character modeling styles: Anime, Realistic, and Stylized.

Understanding Stylized Character Modeling

Stylized modeling is an artistic approach that goes beyond mere reproduction of shapes and natural forms. Instead, it emphasizes intentional deformations, simplifications, and exaggerations to express characters uniquely. The evolution in character modeling styles has sparked interests in detailed comparisons across various projects, allowing artists to learn the nuances of each style.

Attendees of this seminar will have the opportunity to hear from three experts in the field from C&R Creative Studios:

1. Trevor Carr - A talented character modeler originally from the U.S., Carr began his career as a 3D artist at a game company. He later worked with industry giants like Riot Games and EA before joining C&R in 2024, where he focuses on direction and technical education.
2. Masashi Sejima - Director of the character modeling team, Sejima has a diverse background in character modeling for consumer and mobile games. His experience enriches the seminar with insights into client interactions and organizational management.
