This week The Gnomon Workshop announces the release of Introduction to Character Modeling with Mark Dedecker. In this lecture, Mark breaks down the modeling pipeline, establishing an organized and effective method, simplifying the character modeling process. Relying on his years of production work in different pipelines, combined with his experience as an instructor, Mark is able to present a clear and intelligent approach to the character modeling pipeline, stressing the importance of organization, planning, and form analysis. Mark identifies and details many artistic and technical issues that arise in the character modeling pipeline which will dramatically speed up and enhance your workflow.
“I had the good luck to work with Mark Dedecker professionally for three years when we were both with Gentle Giant Studios. Mark is a great artist who brings so much character to all his sculpts. I am always thrilled by the sense of life and personality in each of his works. Mark is one of those digital sculptors who is just as happy sculpting the flexed heroic figure as the beautiful subtleties of the aged or corpulent form. His abilities to communicate humor and persona in a variety of different physiques was always fun to see. Mark is also gifted with the ability to break down and understand the sometimes highly technical process of bringing a character from sculpture into a game. Never losing sight of the art Mark always seems to bring the highest quality to each project we undertook. Mark was always able to seamlessly move from sculpting a lifelike dynamic character, to creating highly detailed costume and weapons, to taking all those beautiful assets and making them work inside someone else’s engine. I’m happy to have had the chance to work with Mark and I am excite for those who now have the chance to learn from his unique and powerful techniques.”
