Course Description
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a female demon gargoyle creature. Throughout these lessons we will learn how to quickly create block out shapes such as our creature's wings, horns, cloth, and other ornate pieces. We will look at brushes that are used in a typical art pipeline as well as how to create custom brushes. Using 3ds Max, we'll learn how to create chains that conform to the character's body using splines. We will also take all the SubTool pieces in ZBrush to rig and pose our character in Transpose Master. Software required: 3ds Max 2009, Photoshop CS3, ZBrush 4R2.
