We have another Psd Premium tutorial exclusively available to Plus members today. If you want to take your illustrative skills to the next dimension, then we have an exciting tutorial for you. Discover how to use Multiple 3D programs to create a composed render, then use Photoshop to add texture, polish, and refinement!
Create 3D Renders, Combine Textures, and Add Photoshop Polishing Techniques
In this tutorial I’ll walk you through a hypothetical brief on creating a magazine illustration. To start off, I’ll show you how to painlessly export/import Poser meshes into Cinema 4D, where you’ll perform a Boolean intersection and discover how Object Buffers and Multi-Pass renders can save you hours of post production time in Photoshop. Finally, you’ll learn how to transform a 3D render into something quite unique by building up its weight and density with some real-world textures.

Perhaps a bit more shadow needs to be at the base of the left ladder, because if someone was stood on a ladder, on flesh, it would leave slight indentations? Maybe?

Cheers
Mark
wow, thats a cool tutorial concept
final result, just awesome
Cinema 4D reallyyyy great :)
Beautiful work. I may have to break open the piggy bank for a tutorial.
I am wondering, why is this considered a “sensitive subject”? Because it’s an anemometer in that poor fellow’s head? Because they are bald? (Although bald men are not sensitive, just uptight.)
(Sorry for that generalization, even though it’s true.)
Happy weekend!
Hi there,
The full tutorial explains it’s to illustrate a magazine article on mental health issues.
Interesting tut, but I it should have been posted CG tuts, coz it more of 3d as per the images above.
Anyways thank you!!
