Organic Weapon Design - Tutorial: Design #2

Another design I finished up from my Organic Weapon Design Tutorial which is available on Gumroad now - I've updated the tutorial to include the extra weapon. Included in the new update is:

- Time lapse of Zbrush block out with no commentary (2 hours)
- An exploration of line art outputs from Keyshot then in Zbrush. This isn’t a Tutorial but more of an experiment to see if these will work with this particular workflow. Real time with full audio commentary (1 hour)
- Time lapse of the Photoshop detailing stage: front 3/4, back 3/4 and side view (1 hour)
- Conclusion where I discuss the results of the experiments and the final completed concept
- All .PSD files, .PNGs and .ZTLs are Included.

For this design I did the entire 3D process in Zbrush without using Blender for the block out stage. This is how I used to work while on Warframe and its a bit different that how I work now. It allows me to consider the masses of the design immediately as I construct the basic shapes - a bit more difficult but still a fun process.

----------------------------------
In this tutorial I will teach you my approach for concepting an Organic Weapon. This will cover my entire 2d and 3d workflow from brief to a final deliverable of a resolved design, ready to be sent to a 3D artist for production.

WHAT YOU GET:

- 7 hours of video content in total. This is the entire process from start to finish: Nothing is skipped! Demo consists of 40 hours of work sped up with voice over commentary added in post.

- Includes video presentations detailing the Brief, a Context Overview, discussions on breaking down Reference and Basic Design Theory as it relates to Organic Design.

- Includes a COMPLETE 2D and 3D Concept Workflow for Designing an Organic Weapon to the stage of a Production Ready Asset.

- All .PSD files, .Blend Files and .ZTLs are included (along with a trim brush i use a lot), along with the final .png images and my pure ref file.

- BONUS video Discussion with Lucas Hug (Former Associate AD and Weapons Lead at Digital Extremes)

- Coming soon: BONUS 2nd weapon design .pngs, .psds and .ztl added for FREE!

** This is not a tutorial on how to model in either Zbrush or Blender but I will break down the tools I use and show you my entire process in these programs.
