looking good!
Nice, I dislike the background a bit though.
This alone has made me renew my subscription.
this is great…
Thanks looks nice
Sorry but I dislike this :/
but thanks
This would be super cool if you were taught how to create the 3D renders themselves, but I don’t think that that is the case
I like your new avatar.
I hate yours
You really are a dick aren’t you ‘lol’?
@margaret,
thanks. i’m surprised you remembered the old one / noticed the switch
‘lol’ that’s not nice, but it did make me laugh! No disrespect to Margaret, it was just really funny. Sorry.
meh whatever. I don’t really pay much attention to trolls. And one of my best friends is a member of 4chan/anonymous so I understand the humor.
Calling it humor is crediting him with something he doesn’t have.
Hopefully he’ll grow out of it when he gets into sixth grade.
The character is good, but the background and effects are laughable.
Looks pretty cool…though I agree that the how to create the renders would be nice.
Great stuff! just what i’m looking for.
Muchas gracias!-
Now that’s a good one, Chris is one of my favorite designers.
This tutorial isint that amazing, i hoped that it would be teaching us how to create some of these C4D people but none of that is in the tutorial. All it is, is take the render put it in Photoshop and color it up a bit. Im pretty disappointed.
WOW looks awesome ! i’ll have to check the Plus account conditions.. you are too good, i can’t resist anymore
Well damn….that’s sick!..awww look at its little butt! lol..(random I know)
Your into butts? i got a nice looking butt, well i think so :) ha ha ha ha!! Just kidding. Anyway, i don’t like this, but i guess someone else will find use in it. It is just not my style of art i guess.
I thought this was horrible… =(
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial!
wuuuuuwww this is a great outcome…
little things make the track better and more beautiful…
this looks very very good!

Psd Plus Tutorial!?!?! Realy?
C’mon
yes it looks good
Learning from the masters… I am downing it now. This is very welcome since I am digging into Poser… this should help me make some awesome pieces.
for those of you who want to know about how to create the 3D assets check out this psdtuts+ tut:

Haines based this tut on his Depthcore work:
http://www.depthcore.com/fullview/3874/
The 3D model was made in Poser and brought into c4d. Poser is the app you should get a handle on, c4d is just used to add reflections and
stuff I think.
I for one think its awesome that mr Haines is sharing this with us.
Nice, like the way you matched the coloured light falling on the subject.
SHARE IS POWER.
Morons, you can stuck your shitty tut way down deep in your ass. I’m not gonna spend a dime for this.
F.u.c.k!
