Aaron Sims’ second DVD illustrates the process of designing a full character in a 3D environment. Starting by creating a quick concept in Photoshop, Aaron models the character in XSI, texturing it in Deep Paint. Aaron shows how to use XSI to build the rig and pose the character, and then sets it in an environment where he lights and renders it. Finally, he finishes the piece in Photoshop, showing you techniques to give your design a refined and completed look.
