Luxology modo Video Training – Cartoon Kid
In this brand new video album from Luxology?s Andy Brown we explore ways of modeling a cartoon character using modo 302, utilizing techniques that are relevant to the creation of any kind of bipedal character.
The Cartoon Kid character is derived from concept sketches provided by Push Pen Studios, to whom we thank profusely. The training videos cover many organic subdivision surface modelling techniques along with a generous application of sculpting. The album also shows how to use and customize modo?s tools and interface to easily pose a character. We explore how to apply UV coordinates and texture the model in order to produce finished still images of the character in action.
LightWave 3D 9.x Advanced Cartoon Series: Head Modeling
This is the first video in a large series on Advanced Cartoon Character creation. This video series from KURV studios is unlike any training ever done for LightWave 3D. We started with a character from PushPen Studios. An extremely professional character just like one you would be handed at studios like Dreamworks or Pixar Animation Studios.

If you guys are a fan of LOTR then this is just the project for you! Remember the awesome looking Oliphant? Well you to can now follow through this step by step tutorial and model it yourself!
Kurt takes you right from the very start – setting up your image reference planes – to your modeling and final render. We continue the Oilphant Modeling by laying out the UV?s using strips of color which we will use to planar map as well as automatic map to achieve flat Uvs. Once we have our creatures UV?s underway we will use tools such as move and sew UV?s, as well as cut UV?s, to combine and reshape to create a nice flat combined UV map. After our UV map is created its time to learn how to create a UV snapshot to import into a paint program like Photoshop so we can begin to hand paint both the skin color as well as the bump textures of the character. You will learn how to use layers and colors in Photoshop as well as different brush settings to build up skin color. Near the end of the project we will do some prodedural texturing using some of the built-in Maya materials and textures to texture the rigging on our characters back. Continue Reading
