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 particular piece has been a true inspiration in my own work! One thing I've not been able to get right is how to get a good painted metal look. Did you add those paint chips in post? For now I'll just keep trudging on in blender.

I love this design, even though I did not play starcraft 2, this reminds me of a cross between a Robotech Bioroid and a Battletech Elemental on steroids.

I believe, you're better than you think you are. This is by far one of the most impressive renderings I've seen in ages and so brilliantly designed. I've tried 3d modeling myself and really enjoy how well-hidden the processes are on the final render; it's mind-boggling!

This could be a mech suit for a Halo Spartan.
