CG Look Development

This course focuses on developing individual
workflows to take character and/or environment
designs from concept to completion using CG
rendering. Looks may focus on the photoreal to
the highly stylized, as per the student's
individual goals. Using examples and design
assignments, students will be challenged to
create their own designs and realize them using a
CG platform in conjunction with traditional
art-making practices. Using Maya with mental ray
and V-Ray, students will leverage textures and
materials to better define the look of their
designs and flesh out final looks for CG or
traditional animations and films.
