“Mayan is a superbly
talented 2D & 3D character artist which makes him an
invaluable asset at Electronic Arts. His DVDs illustrate
the techniques used
to remain within a production's budget, & the technological
limitations
for a shippable game character. Whether you are trying
to break into the
Video Game industry or looking to add to your existing
skill set for content
creation, look no further.”

Creating characters for games presents
many challenges for the 3D artist. Issues such as poly count,
flexibility of the rig, art
direction, and the game environment itself will dictate the final
look of the character. In this DVD, Mayan continues from the head
model and design used in Head Modeling for Games, demonstrating
the tools and techniques used to create low polygon characters.
Topics such as working from a concept design, poly count, scripts,
props and topology are discussed.
Over 2 1/2 hours of lecture.
