In this tutorial you'll discover how to translate a 2D concept into a 3D render, capturing the storytelling behind it, and exploring the best techniques and key elements that will make a beautiful image.

For this render, we'll be using ZBrush for sculpting details, making the retopology and UVs in Maya, and learning howto use Substance Painter in order to improve the appearance of your characters with awesome textures. Then back in Maya with all the materials assigned, we'll light up the scene and render the final image using Arnold.
