Douglas Brown, DAVE School Graduate, was recently published in HDRI 3D Magazine Issue #11. He wrote an article about his American Bullfrog project and how he acheived it. Doug talks about how he references, plans and pipelines his projects and how constructive criticism helps to raise your skill level.
Doug is quoted saying, "If you can pull it off, in the end you should have a great piece to be proud of to add to your demo reel. There should be a lot of things you have learned for your next project.. That's the great thing about being a 3D artist, the tips, tricks and technology are constantly evolving, and we as artists evolve with it." Check out HDRI 3D Issue #11, page 58, to read the whole story.
"Keep your workflow fine-tuned and keep dialing it in.
You will be putting together substantial home projects in no time." ~ Doug Brown
