Character Design and Sculpting for Concept by Josh Herman

In this class, Character Art Director Josh Herman covers his 3D character design and modeling process from an intial concept to a final rendered illustration. Beginning with an exploration in ZBrush and Photoshop as Josh develops the concept, he quickly explores ideas that allow him to arrive at a design direction. Returning to ZBrush to develop further, he discusses costume sculpting, posing and layout while using Keyshot to visualize the scene’s lighting setup. Revisions are then made to the character’s costume and head sculpt which lead to final posing. Marvelous Designer is then used to efficiently create realistic cloth details that are used in the final Keyshot Renders. As the final illustration takes shape, Josh then adds the finishing touches in Photoshop and shares his workflow for layering, blending, painting and color correction. For those interested in combining 2D and 3D techniques for quick concept illustration, this title offers an array of valuable insights by leading industry artist.
