Robot Design with Josh Nizzi In this DVD Josh Nizzi reveals his techniques for designing robots. He demonstrates his entire robotic design process, from sketching concepts in Photoshop and creating a rough 3D model in 3ds Max, to rendering the model in HyperShot and finishing the design in Photoshop, Josh's approach is particularly valuable in a production setting because it enables the artist to deliver high quality concepts very quickly while simultaneously producing a proxy 3D model that could be used in pre-vis or as a starting point for a final model. 256 Minutes of Lecture Topics Covered: - Sketching Concepts
