HOW TO BUILD ON CORE 3D MODELING TECHNIQUES:

• Respect your fundamentals!
• Build a folder of images of final results and step-by-step processes from other artists!
• Examine the little visual details that communicate those images best!

EXAMPLE: OVERWATCH:

Lines Vs. Curves

HAIR:

Short hairstyles with the same mesh:

• establish an area to work with

• Flattening
• Edging (we use the scrape tool for both)
• Creating Bounce and Lift
• Establish valleys
• Refine silhouette!

Painting A Mesh:

• Strength = Opacity.
