PosterDigital-Tutors – Creating Stylized Female Character Concepts in Photoshop CS5

Intermediate | 3h 42m | 983 MB | Project Files 107 MB | Required Software: Photoshop CS5

In this tutorial we will learn about a workflow that can be used to design stylized female characters with Photoshop CS5. We?ll get started by learning about a few things that should be considered for every character we design. Here we will discuss the importance of things like character intent, character back story as well as references. Once our direction has been established, we?ll jump in and spend some time doing concept sketches. After our initial character design has been settled upon, we will move on and begin exploring our character by rendering them in different poses. To wrap the tutorial up, we?ll learn about techniques that can be used to create inked line-work as well as cell shaded color for our character. After completing this tutorial, you?ll be familiar with a workflow that can be used to develop stylized characters in Photoshop.

PosterDigital-Tutors – Modeling a Character for Rigging and Animation in Softimage

Intermediate | 3h 09m | 1.08 GB | Project Files 3 MB | Required Software: Softimage 2010

In this series of lessons, we will learn how Softimage can be used to model an appealing, cartoony character in a way that allows for a wide range of movement and emotions when animating. When rigging and animating, it’s always nice to have an appealing character to work with. In these lessons, we’ll cover the building of a simple character with emotive eyes and eyebrows which you can then rig and animate. We will look at methods for building the head, body, arms, and legs and methods for connecting them all together. During the modeling process, we will emphasize the use of proper topology and discuss how topology and edge flow can impact the outcome of the rigging and animation process.

PosterDigital-Tutors – Reusing Control Rigs in Maya

Intermediate | 3h 40m | 1.76 GB | Project Files 49 MB | Required Software: Autodesk Maya 2012

In this Maya tutorial, you will learn techniques for reusing control rigs in Maya to work more efficiently. Throughout the tutorial you will learn techniques for re-purposing rigs to save time in your character setup pipeline. We’ll start by merging a completed rig into our character’s scene. At that point, we will start modifying the rig to match the proportions of our character. Moving on from there, we will then add controls that are necessary to accommodate any new accessories that require controls. We’ll also learn techniques for rigging hair and belts, and use Mel scripts, to help us to cut time on repetitive tasks. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll learn how to reuse your own rigged assets, to, in the end, be more productive to your team.
