We are back at PL Studios this month and have another amazing art topic lined up! Dan Moyer will be presenting a talk about the start to finish process of character modeling:



This talk will demonstrate my technique for creating a character for use in a real time application. The chosen software for this task will be 3ds Max, and the scope of the demonstration will be using image reference to model, unwrap, and bake textures for a character. While this broad array of information may get lost in the shuffle, my hope is to show that all of the skills needed to generate 3D assets are attainable and understandable, and can be mastered.



PL Studios (http://plstudios.com/) (best known for Digital Tutors (http://digitaltutors.com/)) is sponsoring our meeting space at their offices this month. GoldFire Studios (http://goldfirestudios.com/) will be sponsoring free pizza and soda. Come hungry and ready to talk game development! Also, if you are working on anything, bring it with you to show with the rest of the group, we set aside time at the end of each meeting.



PS: Don't forget that we also now have a Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/okgamedevs/) that is great for sharing with the rest of the group!
