Zack Petroc's Art Directing Series
continues with The Digital Maquette, Volume 2, in which he
outlines the creation of the Froad Rider, the costume and
peripheral accessories using ZBrush. Watch as Zack develops
the character from a low-resolution organized mesh for the
head, and box meshes for the costume and accessories. After
posing the character using ZBrush's new Transpose tools he
documents the process for outputting the character as a 3D
print with Gentle Giant Studios. Zack presents the workflow
with the artist in mind, highlighting specific tools and
techniques and focusing on how they add to the creative freedom
of the design process. He also discusses how to define your
character from both an art directing and digital sculpting
perspective. This lecture is intended for Art Directors and
Production Designers who are interested in discovering how
digital sculpting can add to their creative process. Additionally,
it presents information for artists who are interested in
growing their skills as design sculptors.
3 hours of lecture.
