A Scene Composition and postwork clinic.

Drew Spence is presenting a scene-set up and postwork live webinar clinic this Sunday the 9th December , based on his experience of working on hundreds of scenes and renders for his professional comic work. It’s a chance to meet Griffin and gain his input on any scenes or renders that you need assistance with. He’ll also show different case studies of scenes and postwork situations that have maximized his renders.

https://digitalartlive.com/event/postwork-clinic-your-postwork-challenges-solved/

This workshop is a scene composition and postwork “clinic”. If you’re having trouble with any scene where you’re aiming to produce a polished book cover illustration, a product cover, a graphic novel panel, a character or a landscape based scene, we’ll suggest composition improvements and offer postwork tips.

• Learn from Drew’s own case studies of actions, filters, lighting, composition techniques learned over the years
• Showcase your scenes/renders and gain professional feedback from Griffin (Drew Spence)
• Advice on virtual camera set ups, composition, framing, lighting and postwork.
• Solve your current challenges that you may have with postwork when using Photoshop 
• Repairs and fixing flaws in the rendered image.

Join us in this workshop, led by Griffin Avid, a professional comic book artist who is a graduate of Stony Brook University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Art and holds various certificates – from graphic arts to web design.

We’ll be using DAZ Studio and Photoshop to help you take your basic scene and render to a more professional and effective image. This workshop is about assisting you, so please bring along your renders (up to a maximum of 4 renders) ready to show from your desktop. You can also forward your renders to us ready for the webinar, by using our Hightail dropbox 

Date: Wednesday 9th December

Duration: About 1.5 hours.

– Fixes for repair and the many ways to save a “bad” render.

Learn options to save and salvage your work – without the time-consuming re-render option. 

– Re-frame

Advice on re-positioning the camera and re-framing your work to capture the right mood and actions in a scene. 

– Special Effects

Enhance the magic, sci-fi or action elements of your render. Learn some ways to create special effects in your Daz Studio interface and take the look to the next level in post. Includes mention of must-have products that will enable your renders to contain all the energy and power they deserve.

– Lighting Effects and Helpers

Step-up your renders with adjusting the lighting. Push your dramatic lighting to max in Daz and in post. We’ll break a few rules and create a set of options to push the boundaries of the iray engine. Includes some cheating to get around long rendering times.

How to Create Comic Books using DAZ Studio

Have you ever considered using your Daz 3D assets to create a comic book?

Have you wanted to turn your rendered pictures into a story?

How do you do this and where do you begin?

You start with The Professional Comic Book Foundation Course! It’s a tutorial presented by digital comic publisher Drew Spence from The Dynamic Universe. The Griffin Avid takes his knowledge, gained from his formal education and the experience of creating one of the most popular CGI comics, and distills it into these tutorials.

These step by step materials will prepare you for planning your comic book story, managing your scripts, panels, pages and utilizing DAZ Studio and Photoshop in the workflow.

Tutorial 1 Planning and Plotting

• Duration: 1 hour and 52 minutes
• Planning and plotting
• We’ll cover the first steps in creating your series and polish your work to a releasable level of quality. It’s a step-by-step exploration of the comic creation process and will place you in a position to tell your story with the look and feel you desire.
• –Getting your art to seem hand-drawn or look like a traditional comic book. We’ll explore over a dozen ways to turn your wonderful render into a comic panel and expand the Daz look into your own custom style. Options will include achieving a comic look before and after the render. That’s right! We can do it in post and let the Daz Studio work for you the way it always has.
• –Creating your overall story, structure and workflow. It’s the nuts and bolts of how to turn an idea into an actual system you can follow.
• –Discovering your genre and the Daz assets that will be needed. Focus your purchases into what you will need to create your story and take advantage of free items and methods to reduce your costs. Discover utility items that will help save time and expense.
• –Researching your purchases and products. You’ll learn to discern and dig deeper into the Daz asset. Uncover your hidden resources and stay one step ahead.
• As a bonus, you’ll also get a practice assignment to prepare you for part II. What are you waiting for? Join us and dive in today.

Tutorial 2 Story Telling and Sequential Art

• Duration: 1 hour and 42 minutes
• Now that part I has you off to a graphic start, Part II will explore the simple, but the powerful relationship between the panel, the page, and your script. We’ll deconstruct the narrative and study framing your renders and turn your camera shots into a live action version of your script. Then, we push your script to be more than just words of dialogue.
• –Using the Daz camera to craft your panels. Learn to work like a film director and approach your render as a larger set of pictures. We cover and help you create the basic technique for preparing your comic book pages in Daz Studio.
• –Camera Shots and special techniques. We put Depth of Field and Perspective to great effect as we start creating a sense of drama, focus and action – right inside the render! The course includes both pre-render and post work ideas. You’ll have a still-frame guide and a live demonstration, so you’ll absorb the lesson in the way you learn best!
• –How to make pages and place your panels. We’ll study the direction of the eye across your page and learn to control the interest of your readers. By the end, you’ll have a lock on the different types of pages and understand the key principles that turn pictures into sequential art.
• –Writing the Script and words to wow the world. After tackling the writing task, we cover the ways to turn your script into more than a list of dialogue points. Learn about creating your Master Guide and create a living document that grows with you as a storyteller and illustrator. The course will help to avoid common pitfalls as you acquire new skills.
• –Become the Editor and Art Director. We discuss two more jobs that you will need to perform – to bring your work to its highest level. Unlock your potential and think in macro terms about your workflow.
• –Bring your vision to life. Take the reins and render the relationship between your characters. We break down advanced dynamic theories into simple ideas and create a path for readers to adopt your characters and have an emotional investment in your comic.

“The look will get them to look. What’s in it will keep them in it.” Drew Spence

We present all of this and more. This course was designed from top to bottom to give, the Daz Studio user and 3D enthusiast, a simple and clear path to creating comics, graphic novels, and illustrations. Thank you for taking the first step in producing sequential art!
