Character Modeling 2 [antikvár]

Daniel Wade Paul Hellard Managing Editor Assistant Editor Welcome to the fifth book in our Digital Artist Master Class series, d'artiste: Character Modeling 2 showcases the work and creative prowess of acclaimed character modelers: Zack Petroc, Kevin Lanning, and Timur "Taron" Baysal. These three Master Artists have worked on a remarkable number of high-profile movie and game projects including: 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow'; 'John Carter of Mars'; 'D.O.A.'; 'Gigantic'; 'American Dog'; 'Syriana', 'Reeker'; 'The Dust Factory'; 'Gothika'; 'Spy Kids 2; Island of Lost Dreams'; 'Impostor'; 'Megiddo: The Omega Code 2'; 'Dracula 2000'; 'Battlefield Earth'; 'Dogma'; and 'Gears of War'. In d'artiste: Character Modeling 2, each Master Artist presents his character modeling techniques through a series of tutorials which start with the idea and step through the process of bringing the idea to fruition. The book is broken into three sections based around each Master Artist. Artists' sections include a personal gallery, the artist's work and thoughts in their own words, a large tutorial section, and an invited artist gallery featuring character work from some of the most talented character modelers in the world. The d'artiste imprint (pronounced dah-tee-st) means both 'of the artist' and 'digital artist'. Each d'artiste title features techniques and approaches of a small group of Master Artists. The focus of d'artiste series is not limited to just techniques and technical tricks. We also showcase galleries of the artist's personal work and a gallery of artwork created by invited artists. Along with artist interviews this gives the reader a comprehensive and personal insight into the Master Artists—their approaches, their techniques, their influences and their works. Ballistic Publishing continues to expand the d'artiste series to encompass all aspects of digital content creation. The d'artiste series already includes: Digital Painting; Character Modeling; Matte Painting; and Concept Art.
