2D / 3D Texture Artists – Digital Painters
Texture Artists Texture artists are the digital painters of the virtual world. They are used in everything from 3D animation films, TV series, visual effect sequences in live-action movies, commercials and video games. They responsible for creating the overall colored look for 3D models, based on designs made by the '2D concept art' department in pre-production. 3D models are a flat grey or uniform color, if any, when coming out of the modeling departments. They […]
3D Organic Modeling Surfaces and Characters
What is an Organic Model In the 3D computer graphics world, an organic model doesn't mean that it is certified without chemicals. Organic modeling refers to the shape of the 3D model being created. In fact, organic modeling is generally considered to be the opposite of hard surface modeling, even though the distinction isn't as clear in practice (read more about it here).
