Neville Page, who has the official title “lead creature designer” on “Avatar,” and was also a concept and creature designer on “Star Trek,” told Daily Variety that what concept designers do “doesn’t really have to be built or realized in the physical world. It’s a designer who will imagine things that haven’t been seen or never will actually be seen in real life.”
Page relies on Z Brush software to create “digital sculptures” of creatures. Those digital sculptures are handed off to the vfx department’s animators — and to toy designers and Happy Meal designers, as the case may be.
ZBrush 3.5 for Windows and 3.12 for Mac is available at an educational discount price of $390 from Creation Engine.
