Description Hey guys,

So recently I've been working on an eat3d tutorial teaching people how to get hard surface results similar to that of a traditional 3d package. It was just released so I figured I'd upload it.

You can find the tutorial here:

[link]

The tutorial covers a bit of the concepting, reworking, sculpting the final model, rendering with Vray, and compositing in Photoshop.

As for the design, I was very inspired by the Marine and the Firebat from Starcraft 2. I enjoyed that game a lot and loved the designs so i wanted to achieve something similar. Also I was trying to focus on maneuverability of the character it self. I wanted to create a mech that would have as little self collision as possible.

The programs I used for this were:

Zbrush - For the model and sculpting
3ds max with Vray - For rendering passes
Photoshop - For compositing

Also the DVD covers a bit of compositing to show you the basics of how to achieve a final image like this.

Anyways, please enjoy and I hope you like it!

Edit: Daily Deviation!!! Oh my god thank you so much to ^artofkerem for featuring it!!! Thanks to all those who favorited and commented on it. It means so much to me . I'll reply to the comments when I get a moment.THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

This one looks so heavy and awesome that it probably couldn't walk in all that awesomeness.

I'm sold, I'll buying the tutorial today. The funny thing is I've been working on a hard surface mechanical model as the final piece to my demo reel and have been looking for a way I could detail it in Zbrush while maintaining the hard surface look. Thank you and people like you that share there knowledge so that others might get better.

Wow great work, I can definitely see the resemblance to SC units, though it also looks a lot like the Iron Man suit in the new movies. Nice work with the scratches and damage as well!
