On this page, you'll find a short introduction to what 3D Concept Art is and it will also guide you through some of the resources available, based on your interest and skill level.
LET'S GO ↓What's a '3D Concept Artist' anyway?
A concept artist is essentially a designer who takes an idea, interprets it and produces a set of visuals.
Ideally, the images that are created will help to set the visual style and tone of a project. So, a 3D concept artist' role is the same, the only difference is that the 3D Concept Artist, embraces the capabilities of various 3D tools to iterate faster while maintaining a high level of quality.
In this short video you'll see the application of some 3D tools in the process of designing a character concept.
