3D Creature Modeling for Production

Description: In this tutorial you will learn how to model and sculpt a 3D creature bust using sculpting and polygonal modeling techniques that are used in a professional production environment in both games and film. Not only will you learn the technical aspects of 3D creature modeling/sculpting but also my approach to creative design.

A working knowledge of Zbrush and/or Mudbox as well as 3dsmax is preferred but these principles & techniques can also be applied to other 3D modeling/sculpting packages.
