talented 2D & 3D character artist which makes him an
invaluable asset at Electronic Arts. His DVDs illustrate

to remain within a production's budget, & the technological

3D game artists are faced with certain
restrictions when creating models for use in real-time. Game
hardware, art direction and development time all have an impact.
It is the challenge of the 3D artist to make interesting and
visually believable characters while dealing with these restrictions.
This DVD covers the creation of a low polygon model of a head
for a game environment. Topics such as polygon component modeling,
poly count, scripts and facial anatomy are discussed.
2 hours of lecture.
