FAQ
What is 3D character design?
3D character design is about creating characters that have three dimensions – height, width, and depth. This is the standard display of all 3D objects as we see them in the real world. The main difference from 2D is volume. 2D images are flat and visible from one side. 3D images are visible from all sides.
3D characters are created using modern software. 3D artists should be perfectly proficient in such tools. Creation of a 3D character includes several key stages, which are called pipelines and reflect the workflow from concept to render.
3D characters are a mandatory attribute of all modern games. Whether the game gives the player the opportunity to create their own character and customize them to their liking, or whether it provides a ready-made character with their own history and personality, the character is the player’s game avatar through which the player interacts with the game world.
What are the stages of 3D character design?
We discussed the 3D character design process and its stages in detail in our 3D character design article. Here is their brief description:
- Blocking. Creation of an approximate form of the future character using primitive geometric elements.
- Sculpting. Adding the necessary details that give the character personality: facial features, hair, clothing, folds, etc.
- Retopology. Reducing the number of polygons to ensure the optimization of the model for its integration into the engine.
- UV mapping. The so-called unfolding of the model on the plane, necessary for further texturing without overlaps.
- Baking. Moving details from high-poly model to low-poly model making it look highly detailed but keeping it lightweight.
- Texturing. Applying a texture to a model; the texture is a raster image that gives the character a final realistic look.
How to hire 3D character designers?
Hiring good 3D character designers is hard work because they are in high demand. When searching, follow these guidelines:
- Experience. Make sure the artist has worked on the characters in the style you want.
- Portfolio. An artist’s work displays skill levels, genres covered, and style, etc.
- Tools. A 3D character artist must be proficient in Maya, ZBrush, 3ds Max, Substance Painter, and other tools.
Why outsource 3D character design services?
Character design outsourcing is a very popular service among game publishers around the world. It allows you to save a lot of time and money, while getting high-quality characters from experienced teams who are well versed in the gaming industry.
An outsourcing company creates a 3D character from scratch depending on your needs. It takes full responsibility for quality and deadlines and gets to work immediately, without delay or downtime. At the same time, all aspects of cooperation are absolutely understandable and transparent, and you will receive a detailed estimate of every dollar spent.
