“Whenever Blur is asked
to model a snarling hell-beast that eats babies for breakfast (which happens
at LEAST once a week) the first stop we make is Laurent Pierlot's
workstation. Zombies with brains oozing from their eye sockets? We get
Laurent. Mutated alien monsters? Laurent.”

In this DVD, Laurent reveals
his process for creating a high resolution creature, designed
by Carlos Huante, for the video-game cinematic production pipeline.
The pipeline presents many challenges such as working with
short deadlines, achieving a clean topology and being able
to interpret a 3\4 view
concept into a complex and detailed 3D model. This DVD will cover the creature
modeling from low-poly modeling to high-poly detailing using 3ds Max and ZBrush.
Topics include Max's basic polygon tools, creating the base volumes and proportions,
cleaning up topology, reshaping in ZBrush, and
lighting and rendering a sample still with Brazil for presentation to clients
and supervisors.
3 hours of lecture.
