3D Concept Pipeline

Community
#1

Dose anyone know how a 3D concept pipeline should be layed out as?
Like if you would start off with a base mesh from Maya, or use ZSpheres from ZBrush in the earley stages of developing game character concepts by using only 3D instead of 2D.

Please feel free to respond with your own thoughts and suggestions about this subject.

Would it be possible if you can describe this 3D concepting process in detail? Just so I can take note about this.

Thanks.
