Overview

I have decided to look into character design of animation for 3D, CG games. I have chosen this as an area of the industry to research and discuss because I would like to find work in this field. I find character design for a 3d video game an interesting subject because I feel the designers require a lot more consideration for the animators and CG model makers. Designers must think about what kind of character would look good in certain environments, what looks too simple, what looks overdone and what gives characters charm and makes them memorable. There are many approaches to Designing these characters such as simple 2d drawings and sketches, sculpting 3d models out of clay or plasticine or even CG modelling right off the bat.
