The quicker we can make changes the quicker we can get to good layout and composition for our artwork. As with a sketch, our block-outs should stay as loose and malleable as possible for as long as possible. It helps lay the foundation of what our final composition will be as well as the look and feel of the final image. When working in 3D we should consider our block-out the same way a painter or illustrator considers their initial sketches.
Just as important as the other first steps, creating a great block-out must happen before you are to move too far forward with your artwork. Here is the very first thing I modeled for my retro-style images: a potato/tomato plant. This can often add some much needed motivation and confidence to keep pushing forward.
Start with a small task, such as designing a prop. I often recommend starting by 'finding the crack'. Whether it's a blank piece of paper, a blank Photoshop document, or an empty Maya scene, it can be a struggle to get started. Let's face it: starting a large project from scratch is always difficult. Here is just a very small amount of the reference I gathered to prepare for this scene. Recently, the role of reference was defined so clearly to me: it should be used to answer questions and inform decisions. My references range from pictures of objects, equipment, and props, to screen captures of movies and games. It is also there to inspire you when you aren't totally sure what to do next. Reference is there for you when you don't totally know what something looks like (which is probably 99% of the time). I can't emphasize enough how important reference is when creating your artwork. I didn't feel I had the time to fully detail out the scene and really achieve what I wanted from it, so I decided to spend more time and create a new scene with the same art style, using what I learned from the first one. I spent about 3-4 weeks in total on this piece. I originally created this image of a retro sci-fi living quarters for a workshop I was giving on environment design and I was pretty pressed for time. I will give a higher level overview of the steps taken on this image, as well as show you some of the tools and techniques used. Creating believable and interesting artwork with CG can be a challenge! I believe having access to other people's processes, and seeing how they each tackle the challenge, is a great way to stay motivated and continue pushing ourselves. This article will give you some insight into my creative process when creating sci-fi interior concepts, such as the Retro Space Common featured here.
