Explore a leading concept artist’s creative process for creating key illustrations
In the workshop, Gaulier sets out one of the workflows he uses when creating concept art for films and TV, enabling him to create a set of distinct images, each helping to communicate the concept to a client.
He begins by building 3D assets in Blender and 3DCoat, and posing characters in Maya, creating a variety of dynamic compositions and lighting set-ups explore his ideas. Once happy with the compositions, he renders them out in KeyShot before adding his final touches to the images in Photoshop.
As well providing a technical overview of the workflow, the workshop focuses on Gaulier’s creative process, setting out a methodology that can be applied in other creative software.
