- In this video, I explain how characters are made for video games and share the whole process and the pipeline.
this video is a good general idea for anyone to understand the pipeline better! if you want to work in the game industry as a character artist, you will definitely need to have some general knowledge about the character art pipeline and the process. when you go to game job interviews, they will ask you key questions about the process and the way you answer them shows how much experience you have.
This is the first part and I had to split it into two parts so that I can explain the whole process.

if you guys have any questions feel free to ask in the comment section! cheers!
That shirt is so nice, where can I get one??
is it better to start with spheres or a base mesh when building the blockout/ high res scuplt? I am working to practice character creation and build a portfolio... I know in a studio you might be handed a base mesh that might already have some UVs
@@davidubeda-medrano6822 this was from zara if I remember.
@@spinree1321 if you are learning then don’t use a base mesh. Start from scratch and use primitive shapes as a base and work on primary forms before moving into secondary forms. Base mesh doesn’t really help much.
Every time you say "I will cover that in a separate video" I just get more and more excited! Keep up the awesome work! Can't wait for the rest of the videos!
Haha man! I am glad to hear this! Will do mu best to provide as much info as possible for free. Cheers!
This is amazing !!! Quality thought process and execution is perfect !
thank you! glad you liked it!
Awesome video once again, thanks man!
you are welcome man! I am glad it was useful! I wish i could do it all in one part!
I enjoyed your useful video Siamak Jan!
Very good and interesting video! :D Would love to see more.
I would like to see a pipeline for character hair/grooming. There are a lot of different methods like xGen or 3D-modeled hair. So a guide/pipeline when to use wich technique and what issues could appear would be very nice! :D
Great suggestion!
Great Video mate thanks !
You are very welcome! Glad you liked it!
Thank you for be doing this kind of video! It's very helpful for newbies like me 👊
Thank you. This is incredible information.
Great video ♥ thank u
Awesome video, spot on! :)
I am glad you liked it. Cheers.
Thanks, man you are awesome 💓 .
you are welcome! thank you for watching and I am glad it was useful!
a chracter can take up to 1 year
Amazing video. You described in detail about character art pipeline. Thanks for the video. I am going to SUBSCRIBE you :)
glad you enjoyed! cheers!
When you were talking about the block out model, the example you showed had a lot more detail and work done than I was expecting. Is that the normal level of detail and work expected on a block out model? 15:30
Not really. I didn't have the earlier version. Blockout can be just simple model or early stages of the highres. The one i have here is more like a concept blockout.
@@EdgeloopAcademy Okay thanks lol, I was feeling like, holy crap, that's a simple block-out?!
@@Anak1t hahah but that is not anywhere close to finish though haha :D
Very valuable informations. I suggest you reduce music
You are welcome. Sure. I'm trying to find a goos balance.
great video Good Luck, is it good to work on all the different types, or you should just to stick to a one type?
If you mean style of the work then I would say do what you most likely enjoy doing.
Hey man! What Tablet do you use for ZBrush/Sculpting?
I use intuos pro large one. It’s great and works great. I never needed a cintique and I would not recommend spending that much in a tablet.
@@EdgeloopAcademy That's good to hear a honest opinion! Thanks for the fast response and your videos are great btw, really helping people wanting to get into the industry understand the game development pipeline.
Hi, Can I know which pen tablet do you use for zbrush? and do you continuously tap the pen button for navigation? I have used a huion pen tablet, and I continuously tap the pen button for navigation, Suddenly it stopped working and stuttering I think its pen buttons are not durable.
I suggest to get an intuos pro wacom tablet. It's really the best to me. Check out the reviews.
@@EdgeloopAcademy hi, many many thanks for the reply. I want to know if you continuously tap the pen buttons for navigation? or any alternatives?
@@rifathasan515 oh no, it is like mouse.
داداش منظور از pipeline چیه؟؟
yes please feed us peasants
haha glad you liked it :D
you said that other teams like rigging and animation can start testing the block out model, so it means even the block out should have a clean topoloy already? also great and useful video as always
Not really. It can be a zremesher topology. Something useable and doesn't have to be perfect.
I really like your T shirt
I wish you were my AD.
Thats very nice of you!
How much time to finish a character fully in AAA. Quality and scope of the project and timeline is distube a quality in some project is it correct ????
the deadline for each character is different. I have done characters in 3 weeks and also worked on characters for 4 months. what I can say is characters won't consider finished until the end. in the game industry, the quality of the really depends on several factors. from my experience, studios will find time to increase the quality. All the studios that I worked in, tried to always increase the quality and deadline was not an issue at all.
Zbrush.. Open.. Sphere.. More spheres.. Move tool... Refine.. Silhouette... Refine.. Dynamesh a million times... Sculpt... Refine... Add details... Finished high poly... Save a billion trillion times just in case... Low poly... Pull out you hair cause zbrush doesn't want to give it up... Zremesher.. Dynamesh... Unwrap... Infinite handle loop... Scream... Paint or project details onto low rez... Texture and normal map... Let out sigh of relief... Open max or goz.. Cat rig... Weight bones to mesh... Mirror mode... Sigh... Half an hour later... Mirror mode... Test rig... Export... Import into substance painter... Scratch head and wonder why all this shit isn't in zbrush... Export maps after setting up materials... Import skeletal mesh into unreal engine... Cross fingers.. Check poly count after import... Setup materials... Sigh... Apply materials... Set up in player blueprint... Test... Spend half an hour tweaking materials cause substance painter is shit... Sigh... Run around and kill shit... The end...
Hi, vsauce, micheal here...
Lol I get that a lot! Maybe I should message him and collaborate with him
Thank you so much for these videos. You know what would be great? A full on course for a AAA game character creation from modeling to texturing but without the annoying fast forwarding and weird skipping of specific parts of the process. I would absolutely instantly buy it. Just food for thought... I know schedule might be an issue but I'd assume I'm not alone when I suggest this. Thx again for the vids!
Hey Pablo, I am actually planning to do workshops. If you are interested send me an email. siamak.roshani@gmail.com
nice beard bro
Thank you :D
amazing stuff
thank you! I am glad you liked it :D
thanks Siamak
سیامک یک پیشنهاد دارم . یوتیوب مملو از این سبک ویدئوها به زبان انگلسیس هست . بنظرم اگر ویدئوهات رو به زبان فارسی منتشر کنی بی شک تعداد بیننده هات بسیار بیشتر خواهد شد .
البته فقط یک پیشنهاد بود رفیق
I understand. But I'm not targeting one nation only. if anyone wants to work as a game artist worldwide then they SHOULD learn how to communicate in English. that is the most important step to take.
blink brother blink please
Sometimes I do 🤣 these were my first videos and I wasn’t used to the camera.
following you since the atlas of CG :)
amazing stuff and amazing efforts as always
thx man
glad you liked it! this time I am not going to stop! :D lets get this channel to 1m sub! :D
amazing.
I would like to see hard surface retopo process for the game environment.
Xgen to realtime hair making process.
Thank you, sir!
Great suggestion!
in AAA games character clothes have thickness or one side. please answer 🙏
There are no thickness. Just sided shaders.
@@EdgeloopAcademy thanks for your valuable reply 👍
Wish there was a video just like this but for character animation. talking about constraints, dopesheets, storyboarding, workflows, actor analysis, etc.
I will probably ask someone in the future to help me do that! Need to grow the channel a bit first!
Deserve more subcribers, TH-cam DO YOUR FREAKIN JOB
thank you for your support!
Love it!! Very informative, to the point stuff in awesome quality, keep this up Siamak. Waiting p02👏👏
thanks ahmad! very nice of you for all the support! uploading part 2 soon. it will be finished tonight.
very good... Excellent video!! thanks!!
glad you liked it! you are welcome!
Awesome, bro. Look forward to some character modelling stuff in here, keep them coming.
glad you liked it! i will do that for sure in the future.
I learned a lot from this video! Now I know the importance of communication in these teams.
Glad to hear that. I'm recording part 2 now!
Damn dude. Really top quality video and info. Keep it up!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Cheers!
Hello Siamak,
Do you think you can make a tutorial on creating a realistic persons head please? I know there is some here on TH-cam but they don't explain why they're doing certain things, its more of a "look at me and follow along". I would like to know why they use certain brushes for certain areas, what are the best brushes to make eye lids and why, which brushes not to use for eyelids etc... I would really appreciate a detailed tutorial.
Hello, i have plans for that. Might do live sculpting.
@@EdgeloopAcademy Thank you! When can I look forward to that?
I'm planning for it but i don't have a specific date. Just check the channel and i will post it here or do a live session.
So Glad I found this channel!!
Thank you! You are the 2nd person today! I need to make more videos 😅
perfect and unique video, I'm excited for the next one :D
Glad you liked i man! Cheers!
Thanks for all the organized information you provided.
Thanks for this video Siamak!
You are very welcome! Glad you liked it.
hey nice video ! my question is, can i have the reference of your chair ? i have been looking for something like this..
You are welcome. You want images?
@@EdgeloopAcademy don't bother ! If you have have the brand it is enough, if not, no big deal, you're welcome anyway ;)
@@marcferrer7021 I will take photos for you and the link if i can find it. Send me your email.
Man your videos are gold!!!
it was great, keep going
Thanks a lot.
damet garm mard🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is awesome! Thank you!
Glad it was useful. Part 2 is coming tomorrow :D
@@EdgeloopAcademy I am eagerly waiting :)
This is awesome 👏
Hi!
Do you use 1 tile when Uving a single character or a UDIM system for heroes and NPCs?
characters for games use multiple shaders and uvs now. it is more like cinematic characters at this point.
Hey, do you have any input on Pipelines for multiple layer clothing that has a chance to have inner layers pop through the outer layers E.g. Skin poking through T Shirts and T Shirts poking through Jackets? Either in T Pose or Animated and what solutions might be used to solve these?
That’s something the tech team works on. As a character artist I only work on character design and models/textures.
@@EdgeloopAcademy Alright, well if you're ever able to obtain that information and share that would be really awesome and i'm sure many people would love to see that.
Can i make a career just out of modeling characters, meaning no texturing, retopo etc?
It really depends on the studio. You still need to be able to texture. Even if you want to be a character designer, you still need to paint some colors. Be best at modeling and learn some texturing.
@@EdgeloopAcademy thanks a lot. I actually know how to texture 😁 Im also confused on how the mouth should sculpted for rigging/ animating purpose.
@@InstagramWanker thats a good topic for me to cover :D
