Aaron Sims’ second DVD illustrates
the process of designing a full character in a 3D environment.
Starting by creating a quick concept in Photoshop, Aaron models
the character in XSI, texturing it in Deep Paint. Aaron shows
how to use XSI to build the rig and pose the character, and
then sets it in an environment where he lights and renders
it. Finally, he finishes the piece in Photoshop, showing you
techniques
to give your design a refined and completed look.
About 4 hours of lecture.
