CG Survival Kit: Concept to Final ImageStrategies for Efficiency with Jeremy Cook |
Working hard and working smart are not the same thing. In this DVD, Jeremy discusses how to make artists work more efficiently and make smarter decisions based on the final output and deadline. Knowing when and where to cut corners is a vital skill as most people over-build, over-think and over-work. There's no such thing as cheating when you're up against a deadline. Using 3DS Max and Photoshop, Jeremy covers such topics as layout strategies, planning, keeping your 3D models simple, working holistically, digital matte strategies, rendering passes, polishing your final image and more. This lecture is geared toward beginner to intermediate artists. Instructor for this title: Jeremy Cook
