Visual Development Guidebook: Design Pipeline Fundamentals for 3D Animation

This tutorial will explain in step by step fashion the process of designing an asset for 3D animation. Many people associate Visual Development for animation with pretty concept paintings they see in art books. While concept paintings are an important part of the Visual Development process, much of the job revolves around effectively communicating technical design decisions. 

 Over the course of this tutorial, we will design an asset and explain what the finished product will look like before it is passed on to be created in 3D. With the rise in outsourcing in animation, being able to create clear and easy to understand design packets is one of the most valuable skills in the Visual Development tool kit and a must have for any Visual Development portfolio..
