Greetings all! This week we get a 2-for-1 deal with the introduction of the Tate Brothers!
The collective genius of these CG artist brothers is clearly evident in their clear, concise, and easy to follow video tutorials. What makes a good tutorial great is the time and care taken to show the viewer every step in the process and to further, explain why it is important. Here you will find many a great tutorial that will expand your knowledge and your bag-o-tricks.
These are not your typical 3-5 minute “here-is-kind-of-how-I-do-this” tutorials; these average 4 hours long each! Not only that but tutorial comes with the required reference images and any additional files such as custom checker maps for your convenience. With great care Chris and Ben have taken the time to show you the exact steps needed to create awesome assets and uncanny unwraps. I don’t think it is possible to recommend these guys highly enough.
Along with learning how to use the “basics” such as 3DS Max and Photoshop the Brothers Tate show you some of their (and my) favorite 3rdparty tools that can shave HOURS off your workflow. Several of the tools that they recommend are now staples in my personal pipeline. (Next week we will discuss Tools so stay tuned!)
You can view even more of their tutorials on CG Tuts+ where Chris is a co-editor. There are several tutorials there from the guys that were created exclusively for CG Tuts+.
