3D Model For Design, Concept & Production.
Join The New Concept Artists By Mastering The Workflows & Techniques.
You do not need to go to design school to join the ranks of thousands of artists who are earning a living and making a difference in their companies and in their art today.
Let Alex Senechal mentor you to master his iterative and explorative design approach and create an amazing piece for your demo reel in the process.
Begin February 19th at 1 PM Pacific / 4 PM Eastern
In this course Alex will walk you through the three main stages of development:
- Silhouette
- Design For Future Function
- Texture & Render
In each stage you'll be guided by Alex to help create the best model that you can make. This is a hands on class so sign up today to get the best deal.
Who is this course for?
This course is for artists and designers looking to use 3D as their design medium and grow their skills in mid-polygon modeling. We'll be exploring the same tools and processes that artists use to prototype everything from the IPhone to game mods in World of War Craft. If you are looking to level up your demo reel with some amazing designs that are gauranteed to get your work a second look this is the class for you.
Why do I need this class?
The biggest issue that most artists make when putting together their work for reviewis their design, design, design. Most of us focus on trying to get something done quickly instead of done beautifully. While quick may have worked five years ago the biggest problems recruiters have today is finding qualified people to fill high level job positions. These are positions that can't be filled by someone cranking out artwork. These are jobs that require someone with a sense of design and who has invested in their art and their understanding of design principles.
Don't rush off to Design School, though! Get mentored by someone already doing it and working in the industry. Get mentored by Alex Senechal.
What will we cover?
Please note, this is subject to change but here is the current plan for the class.
Module 1
In module we will cover the fundamental polygon tools and explore our first basic silhouette shapes in 3DS Max. You can use which ever software you wish.
Module 2
In this module we'll begin the process of creating landmarks or essential structures in your prop or weapon. Things like a battery or particle accellerator, for example. Our goal here is to just map out locations and basic forms.
Module 3
In this module, we dial up the intensity and detail of the form exploring more complex topics around polygon management and the creation of screw holes, etc.
Module 4
In this module we are knee deep in the Design For Future Function phase and our goal is to make sure that the elements of our gun really create the feeling or effect that we are after.
Module 5
You thought polygonal modeling was easy? Mid term review! Get those polygons in order, son!
Module 6
Now we begin the texturing and rendering phase and establishing the shots that we will use in the final output. Our first pass on the texture is created during this week.
Module 7
Review and PLUS your texture and renders. This is where you add the little details that make your model sell your amazing abilities.
Module 8
Review and next steps. Where do you go from here. How to present work and get on about the business of marketing yourself.
Starts February 19th at 1 PM Pacific / 4 PM Eastern
