LookDev (Look Developement)

Look Development (LookDev) is the process of creating the visual appearance of a 3D digital asset or scene. It involves 3D modeling; refining textures, materials, and shaders; and setting up lighting to achieve the desired look. LookDev artists work closely with concept artists and art directors, as well as refine clay animations produced by animators or 3D motion designers. LookDev is a major stage in the CG pipeline and usually follows the completion of modeling and animation. It serves as a bridge between modeling and final rendering, ensuring visual consistency and realism.
