Guitar Hero III Developer Diary - Character Art

Word from author "When creating these characters, our first priority was to retain the comical look of the original Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II while actually bringing them into the current generation of graphics. We fired some ideas back and forth and finally settled on the idea of keeping the exaggerated proportions of each character, but creating materials and textures that looked and felt realistic. We believed this gave us the best shot at creating some characters that were really impressive without sacrificing the personality and style the franchise had established."

Chris George, lead character artist on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock says "Most of the techniques I mention in this diary are industry-standard, and the production staff on the game was very organized, and it helped make our lives much easier when it came to scheduling. In the end, I feel very proud and confident of the art in our game. It was the talent and enthusiasm of the artists involved that made these characters look so great and it was a pleasure to work with them."

The Photoshop Anthology

There are hundreds of online tutorials about creating various web graphic effects in Photoshop. This book shows you how to create many of those same effects, but most solutions include a “Discussion” section that goes beyond the “step-by-step” stage to explain some of the concepts behind the solution, enabling you to understand more of how Photoshop works so that you can apply that knowledge in other situations. One of the most valuable solutions in this book, and which can be found at the beginning of Chapter 8, gives you a conceptual “road map” of how to use Photoshop in the web design process and illustrates it with an example that combines many of the techniques explained in earlier chapters.

Because this book is focused towards web designers, it cover only some of the basic and intermediate tasks related to photo adjustments and retouching. If this area interests you, there are many excellent books, geared towards professional photographers and artists, which provide more advanced instruction than doesthis title.

Illustrator Tutorial : Basic Function

Adobe Illustrator is a charting program. It deals with objects such as squares, circles and irregular shapes. It stores these shapes in files as geometric equations with an associated size, location and color value. These objects can be resized, re-colored and moved in relationship to each other (this is called scalable vector graphics). When you make a selection in Illustrator, you are selecting an object and you can move that object in front or behind other objects in the image or change the size of the object relative to the other objects in the image.

Illustrator is an ideal program to use for drawing illustrations and charts or creating posters with drawings and a lot of different size lettering.

Illustrator Tutorial : Converting illustrator-images

This Illustrator tutorial is about converting illustrator-images to a fully editable, scaleable Microsoft Word shape. Microsoft Word doesn’t support the import of any vector-based images. The only image-types you can import are converted in some crappy pixel image. I’ve been struggeling with this for a while, and finally got a solution.


WHAT YOU NEED IS :
A- mac OS 10.4 or later
B- no fear for Terminal
C- Adobe Illustrator
D- svg2key (download it for free at http://mcb.berkeley.edu/labs/zusman/dave/svg2key/)
E- iWork, you only need Keynote
F- Microsoft Word. off course.

Drawing a Pencil with Illustrator

This tutorial was done in Illustrator 10, but it will also work with version 9. Versions before that, I don't know because I don't have any version before 9, so if you try it with a previous version and it does work, please email me with the version number of Illustrator and any changes you had to make to get it to work.

Before start, change your units preferences to pixels by going to Edit > Preferences > Units and Undo. Set General to pixels in the dropdown list. You can work without doing this, but if your preferences are in inches, make sure you type "360 px" or whatever (without quote marks) and not just "360" or Illustrator will assume you want a 360" (or point or pica or whatever) image.
Start a new image in RGB mode.
Go to View > Grid to turn on the grid.
Go to Edit > Preferences > Guides & Grid and set up the grid. Grid every 72 pixels;
subdivisions: 4 This will ensure that your document is set up the same as mine.

Illustrator Tutorial for Entomologists

A Tutorial for Entomologists by Ralph W. Holzenthal Department of Entomology University of Minnesota “Scientific Illustration of Insects”.
This tutorial will demonstrate how to use Adobe Illustrator to produce detailed, black-and-white, weighted lines drawings that have the quality of traditional pen and ink scientific illustrations. The tutorial will also show how to use Illustrator to produce detailed “continuous tone” illustrations in black and white and color using Illustrator’s “gradient mesh” tool.

This tutorial will focus only on Adobe Illustrator, but an equivalent tutorial will be used to demonstrate the use of Adobe Photoshop to produce digital scientific illustrations. However, producing illustrations in Photoshop depends on some knowledge of Illustrator, which is the place to start.

Illustrator is a vector or object-oriented application. In Illustrator, mathematical expression or vectors independently define objects (lines, curves, and shapes). Illustrator produces drawings with smooth curves, sharp, crisp edges, and smooth changes in tone or color. Vector applications are resolution independent. They have no defined resolution. The image can be scaled up or down and printed at any size with no loss of clarity; their “resolution” depends only on the resolution of the monitor or printer. Vector applications are represented by drawing programs such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Inkscape, Canvas, etc., and by computer-aided design (CAD) applications. The power of Illustrator lies in its “Pen” tool, but it offers many other types of drawing tools and features that makes it high-powered application for scientific illustration.
