In this Photoshop tutorial we will look at the basic principles of designing a video game character utilizing Photoshop as a drawing and painting tool. We’ll learn about subjects such as sketching, design, rendering techniques and orthographic models sheets. We’ll begin with the exploratory sketching phase, which is a stage where the concept artist produces loose grayscale sketches to communicate ideas to the team. We’ll then take that sketch from a rough idea into a fully realized piece of concept art. From there, we’ll take the design into a key part of video game character concept art: the orthographic. By the end of this tutorial we will have taken a look at a typical video game studio pipeline and learned numerous tips and techniques for how to be efficient in a video game production environment.

Digital Tutors – Polygon Modeling Workflows in CINEMA 4D
English| Release Date: May 1, 2012| Duration: 3 hrs. 1 min.
Author: Justin Marshall| Required Software: CINEMA 4D
FLV| Video: vp6f, yuv420p, 1280×720, 15.00 fps(r)| 1.16GB
Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, mono, 96 kb/s
In this series of lessons we’ll learn to use CINEMA 4D’s unique modeling workflow to create organic polygon models. We’ll start out by talking about what polygons are and what the advantages and disadvantages are of using them. Then, using a dinosaur as an example, we’ll use CINEMA 4D’s procedural, hierarchy-based workflow in combination with traditional polygon techniques to build an organic model from scratch. We’ll cover polygon tools that will allow you to extrude, cut, or subdivide your geometry as well as generators that will allow you to work symmetrically and to see a smoothed version of your model as you work. In the end you’ll have a great idea of the power and flexibility CINEMA 4D offers when building polygonal models.
