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!!

If it wasn't for the smooth reflections I'd swear it was a miniature.

SchmauserPhoto In reply to ??? [2011-02-24 18:32:46 +0000 UTC]

One of the things I like best about 3D renders of metal objects--especially armor--is the ability of the artist to add "wear and tear" and make it look realistic. Never having done 3D anything myself, I would think that adding such little touches like the paint fading around the front of the boots and around most every other edge would take quite awhile.
I think it really pays off though, and this mech really benefits from it

Thanks a ton! You're right for me it's actually one of the most enjoyable parts, because it's during this process that you can really bring the character to life! Thanks <3

MikeJensen In reply to Imortis [2011-03-23 23:34:35 +0000 UTC]

There isn't really one worth looking at XD. it was made purely in zbrush so the meshes are very messy and VERY dense. It'll just look like a point cloud. XD

I definitely thought this was a clay sculpture photo when I firs saw it. That is insanely amazing! And then I thought "It would be amazing if someone could cosplay that."
