Character Creation for Films-Cinematics at CGMA

The objective of the class held by Pete Zoppi was to understand character creation for film and game cinematics in terms of a characters profile, and its ultimate purpose in a composition or narrative. I started by analyzing and assessing various reference materials prior to initial sculpting. Then the class has dived into the fabrication of hard surface components, clothing, and other accessories needed to finish out/polish a high-poly asset. From there, the emphasis switch over to surfacing the character using advance painting and shading techniques. These included look-development of skin, metal, and various other material shaders prior to outputting final renders. Finally, we ended the course with discussions on and demonstrations about color theory, render manipulation, and post processing.
