Presentation

This final week is mainly meant to be work week for polishing your character model. If you’ve progressed well through the weeks and consider your model finished, I want you to focus your attention to presentation. While professional character models likely aren’t expected to maintain presentation skills (shading, lighting, and rendering), I always encourage modelers to learn said skills. After the amount of work we put into the modeling process, I think it’s only appropriate to do our models justice with a beautiful presentation – grey viewport screenshots don’t really count as ‘beautiful presentation” ? SUPPLEMENTAL TRAINING: I recommend these courses as optional training to reference this week.

• Fundamentals of Shading (Cycles chapters)
• Fundamentals of Lighting
• Fundamentals of Rendering
• Creature Modeling for Production (Presentation chapter)
