3DS MAX, AFTER EFFECTS & PHOTOSHOP WORKFLOW
This detailed workshop deconstructs the DNA of a successful image. You’ll learn the essential techniques that professional artists use to tell compelling stories through their artwork. This workshop uses 3ds Max, After Effects, and Photoshop, though the techniques can be transferred to other 2D and 3D software.
Over the course of 3 hours, Ronan Le Fur, also known as Dofresh, shares the professional techniques he uses to create original digital images. He concentrates on the kind of visuals required during the pre-production of a film or video game project, though the same techniques and mindset can be applied to any project, whether personal or professional.
This workshop is aimed at intermediate-level artists who already have an understanding of image creation and are comfortable with 3D and 2D creation software, although the techniques demonstrated are attainable for artists of all levels. Expect lots of sketching, extensive use of kitbashing, some essential compositing, and a lot of digital painting to help you master the art of visual storytelling.
CHAPTERS:
