Book Overview

Cedric Seaut’s Character Modeling is a step-by-step tutorial published by 3DTotal.com Ltd. Each chapter addresses a different part of the design, from an initial concept to shoes, handgun, chest, and pants. The techniques cover anatomical detail, clothing, accessories, and armor.

The author uses ZBrush for high poly sculpting and 3ds Max for base meshes and mechanical components. Although these tools are featured, the modeling principles apply to most other 3D packages.
