You can even sculpt reference characters in
clay or Play-Doh if you need to have a better
idea of how they should look in 3D space. In
Figure 1.2, you can see a character sheet generated
for a student-produced short at The Art
Institute of California at Los Angeles.
production workflow ?– 5
Sketch or download images of the props and sets you need in your scene. You should
map out the ???look??? for everything that you need to have in your scene. When you are
working on your project, you won??™t be limited to the things you picked out at this stage;
however, you will find that knowing how things should look will help enormously in getting
you to your final product. The better your concept art and research, the smoother the
production and the better your end result will be.
Production
Production is the meat of any project. Film production begins when you start filming your
project. In the case of CG, production begins when you start creating assets for your projects,
such as models or textures, based on well-researched reference materials. The production
phase lasts until the rendering phase, where you actualize your scene into image files.
Animation, texturing, and lighting are all performed between the modeling and rendering
phases.
