TURNAROUND | Creating a 2D Character Modeling Sheet in Blender

Instructor:
Paul Caggegi

Bring your concept to life and get it ready for a 3D modeling with Grease Pencil

Before a concept can be realised in 3 dimensions, it must be redrawn in technical detail.

In TURNAROUND, CG Cookie instructor Paul Caggegi will guide you through the steps necessary to produce a revised beauty character pass, proper turnaround model sheet, and a file ready for a modeler to step in and commence work.

The course is intermediate level, and assumes good working knowledge of the Blender interface and Grease Pencil

From Concept to Details

Take an approved piece of concept art, then add unseen details and a different angle to help visualize what this character looks like from all sides. A file of Luna is supplied if you'd like to follow along!

Set up your scale correctly, add modifiers and layers for efficient workflow. Create the main views and separate limbs for your character.

Chapter

Overlays, Compositing, and Final Output

Add in detailed overlays, color and texture, add appropriate text, and finally set up a compositing node tree for easy output of renders
