'3D Studio Max'

Software Used :

Maya 2009, ZBrush, Topogun, Bodypaint, Photoshop CS3 & After Effects

Introduction :

Hi everyone, my name is Peng Zhao. I'm a freelance character artist and animator in Shanghai, China and in this article I’ll be briefly showing you the creation process behind my latest image “Short Hair”.

Concept :

I wanted to create a pure and quiet looking girl, like the past famous film star Audrey Hepburn. I first visualized a concept in my head, and then started to gather reference material. I grabbed lots of photos from Google and brought them into Photoshop for reference (Fig.01).

Modeling :

I created the model in ZBrush, from the base cube to the final figure (Fig.02).

After that I used Topogun to retopologize the base mesh, and Maya for the final polygon model (Fig.03).

For the UV I used UVLayout and Maya.
