Course Description
In this course, we'll design a weapon concept for a first person shooter. We will explore methods of quick prototyping for the design and developing the finished concept with both side and first person perspective images using Maya 2016 and Photoshop CC. By using simple modeling techniques, we will render the model out to be finalized in Photoshop. Finally, within the lessons you will find useful tips and tricks to help speed up the overall process. By the end of this training, you will be more knowledgeable about the process of weapon conception and will find yourself more efficient with designing weapons. Software required: Photoshop CC, Maya 2016.
