Course Lesson Plan

Here’s the low-down on everything covered in this course.

Lesson 1
Planning

You won’t get far without planning! We’ll start things off by learning how to deconstruct a sample creative brief you might receive from an art director or production designer. After creating a unique outline with our Brief Builder, you’ll begin collecting research and reference to create a mood board. Finally, Jan will cover his most commonly used tools in Modo and Octane to use as a basis for creating sketches during an early design phase.

Using your design sketches from the previous lesson, you’ll move into the Production phase by refining shapes and details in Photoshop. Jan will then cover his techniques for material research and approach to texture creation. Finally, you’ll create a paintover in Photoshop to use as the main presentation of your building before focusing on framing and composition in later lessons.
