作者:Alex Trin was started to create a high-res 4k still image, yet evolved to become a looping ten second animation rendered in vertical HD at 1200x1920 to be displayed on a wall-mounted digital display. Starting from a personal sketch, Trin was created in twenty hours using Photoshop, Maya, Zbrush, UVlayout, Bodypaint and Mental Ray. The entire process was recorded and is demonstrated using timelapse footage, where I explain every step with an emphasis on both the technical and aesthetic thought processes. Level: Intermediate. Chapter One: Orthographics Trin is based on a pre-existing design that was drawn on paper as a frontal orthographic. The first step is to generate a side-view sketch from the front view design. Using Photoshop, I design Trin's profile ensuring that it aligns perfectly with the front, while trying to create a sideview that holds true to the design. I then import the front/side images into Maya and prepare the image planes for modeling.
