Chaos Group has recently shared a recording of a presentation by Ian Spriggs from Total Chaos 2018 on the way the artist is working with his digital humans.
My work is concerned with creating emotional connections with digital humans, and in my presentation, I talk about the techniques I use to achieve this. Many years ago, the masters created realistic portraits of their subjects using little more than a paintbrush. Today I use similar ideas with a new set of tools such as Maya, Mudbox, Photoshop, and V-Ray to create my 3D portraits. I’ll also discuss how we can overcome the uncanny valley, and the new challenges we face in a digital age.
