This demonstration and lecture began with the decision to create a new still image and record the entire process. Using Maya, UVlayout, Zbrush and Photoshop, "Smile" was created in eight hours over the course of a couple evenings. Observe and listen as Alex shares his workflow, thought process and techniques. In Chapter one, a personal sketch is chosen to develop into a 3D image. It is then imported into Maya and a methodology for aligning the 3D camera to the image is discussed. A simple base mesh is tweaked and edited to work with the design, then exported to Headus UVlayout. With the base mesh complete, it is ready to be sent to Zbrush for sculpting.
