Creativity embellishes the art that steals the
heart!   Undoubtedly, in gaming, the artwork is
something without which it seems to be imperfect.
If we check any 2D game as well, art plays a key
role in that to make the game more attractive and
eye-catching. Games like Super Mario, Super Meat
Boy, Cut Drop Strike, etc., are highly liked
having outstanding game art designs and game
interfaces. Similarly, if we go for the 3D games
there, also the role of art and creativity is
dominant.   Artists nowadays with various visual
effects and techniques create some appealing
designs and characters that influence gamers very
much.

• At Aavega, our team of artist works diligently to
  come up with some spectacular output to make the
  video game more captivating and joyful. To know
  the brief about game art and animation steps used
  by our artists, let's have a quick look at them
  which are mentioned below
•  
• Story Boarding 
• Character Designing
• Concept Art
• Background Designs
• Game UI
•  
•  
• Get the complete guidance about the 2D/3D game
  art creation
• For a deep insight we need to understand the
  steps thoroughly which are described beneath,
  firstly lets draw the attention on 2D game
  artwork and animation
•  
•  
• Story Boarding The storyboard comes under
  pre-production for both 2D and 3D, which means
  the artists create characters based on the
  scripts after researching them. It is mainly an
  art that is a digital visualization of the
  script.

• 2) Character Design It is the chief step
  artists can go through that includes researching,
  i.e., the type of character to be designed.
  Moving ahead, artists go for character designing,
  and this character design depends on some
  factors, such as the time period from which the
  particular character belongs (ancient, medieval,
  modern) to make it more adorable as we find DD
  character artwork. Howsoever, artists use to
  follow a few art styles while designing a
  character which are as follows
•  
• Realistic In this, the character seems to be
  real, including the anatomy as well. For example,
  7 or 7 and half-head characters are designed for
  any game.
•  
• Semi-realistic In semi-realistic, artists
  simplify the realistic type of art, including
  anatomy, and perform rendering also. For example,
  6 head character design.
•  
• Stylized character It is the simplification of a
  semi-realistic art type with various features
  such as bubble head or 5-head character.
•  
• Cartoon characters In this art type, as the name
  defines, the artists design some cartoonish art
  with quirky features required for gaming touch.
•  
•  
• 3) Concept Art It is an essential step artists
  follow, which decides what they are going to
  perform, i.e., a character design or environment
  (backgrounds which include tools, assets,
  weapons, props, etc.) The concept art involves
  several processes to be completed that upshot the
  productive outcome, these are discussed below,
  lets have a quick look at them
•  
• First of all, artists go for a rough sketch
  preparation of characters. 
•  
• After picking the best one from the samples
  created, detailing of the art is done, i.e.,
  finishing and cleaning up.

4) Background design If we talk about the
background design step, we will find that it is
highly similar to the above step, Concept Art,
where all the processes and protocols that
artists use to follow are exactly the same, but
here, it is only for background artwork.

5) Game UI In this step, the small but core
things are designed which are keenly matter
inside the game, such as the play button,
navigation arrows, exit, start, level stars,
level completed, etc.  

• After these core steps the chance for 2D
  animation comes where the animator performs
  several steps to make the game live and realistic
  to grab the players attention. Those steps are
  as follows
• Character designing
• Rigging
• Particle effect
• Animation

• Finally, when all the art and animation tasks get
  over the artist handovers the complete file to
  game developers.
•  
• And so as with the 3D game art and animation work
  where artist performs creativity with the 3D
  visual and tools. In addition, there are various
  crucial steps here also that artists follow to
  achieve the productive outcome with higher
  preference. So, without wasting time lets take
  you to the drive of 3D game artwork, kick start
  it!
•  
•  
• 3D Modelling In 3D Modelling, the basic function
  of any object is designed, which means
  three-dimensional designing of an objects shape,
  size, texture, etc., is done. The artists take
  reference from 2D art sheets to go for designs
  with the help of software MAYA or Blender. Next
  to this UV taking is done required for sculpting
  and texturing.

•  
• Sculpting Sculpting involves the addition of
  high details to 3-D models, which are under the
  designing process. The software artists use for
  this is Z-Brush or Blender, having tools to
  perform refining and give an absolute look to the
  model.
•  
• Texturing In texturing, the artists apply
  texture to the 3D model or an object to make it
  more refined and high quality so that it can
  appear realistic enough.
•  
• Rigging Rigging is a process in which artists
  give skeletal structure to the 3D model or an
  object which is movable as well. In this, there
  are some crucial processes involved, which are
•  
• Joint attachment
• Attachment of the skeletal to Meshwork
• Paint skin weight
• Creating controls (hand controls, leg controls,
  etc.) to the skeleton (3D model) to perform the
  animation.

• A rigger has the power to give global or main
  control over the other controls to the 3D model
  to specify its individuality, for example, joint
  control, leg control, eye control, etc.).
• Animation Animation of a 3D model refers to the
  process that involves the creation of the
  illusion of that model that it is moving, and
  doing actions that resemble a real-life person.
  In gaming, the animation sometimes is created in
  a loop format.
