First year 'side scroller' project

Side Scroller concept and 3d Artwork Brief for Year 1 games design students

Design environments, character heroes and enemies as concept images and apply the designs to planes in Maya as a digitally hand painted textures to form a side scrolling scene. 3d modelling can also be used in Maya to enhance the scene.

Learning Outcomes

·  To develop concept art design skills and digital painting
·  To develop an understanding of alpha texturing and how to use it in a maya scene
Here are some of my tutorial sample files for students to refer to for Maya instruction followed by some of the student results.
