I love posts like this and I’m glad they’re blogging something like this. I would have killed for a break down like this to have been public info when I was studying digital media in school.
I hope we continue down this path of opening up software to students and and public at large to learn and play as well as blogging about how things are created and what sorts of tools are used in that creation.
All that amazing work, then they go and paint over it. It looks like the sketch at the top could of just been painted by the artist that painted on top of the rendered image.
That paint over looks like it made major changes to the model. A second set of teeth and moved the mouth on the shark and painted out a bottle.
I would have expected this step in the process to touch up the water splashes and add highlights to the plastic, but not changes to model and composition.
I hope we continue down this path of opening up software to students and and public at large to learn and play as well as blogging about how things are created and what sorts of tools are used in that creation.
