Last issue of 3D Creative is again full loaded of interesting tutorials. Amazing cover picture is created by Pedro Conti, who created this character for the short animation „One More Beer“.
Artists continue with the modeling of vehicles in this month’s chapter of our Beginner’s Guide to Modeling Vehicles series, where they have been using the 2D concept and technical drawings provided, to talk us through a step-by-step guide to turning this information into an accurate and exciting 3D model. The series goes through halfway now and this month we see Renato Gonzalez Aguilante start the texturing process in Maya, whilst Arturo Garcia completes the modeling of his vehicle in 3ds Max.
This month we can see the final installment of Andrew Hickinbottom’s Female Character Creation series. In the previous chapters Andrew has covered the modeling, unwrapping and texturing of Olivia, and has also demonstrated lighting the scene and how to build up the background and composition. In the finale chapter of the series Andrew documents the final stages, including cloth simulation, fine-tuning, lighting, shading, rendering and compositing.
Andrew Finch has been guiding us through the creation of an environment built in the games engine UDK. In the last chapter Andrew demonstrated how to finalize the layout of all of our assets within the environment, ready for showing us how to start the draft lighting phase this month. Andrew also demonstrates how to place decals to add a greater level of detail.
In ZBrush Quadruped series show us how to create the organic forms of their quadrupeds. Demonstrating the boundaries of his imagination this month is Mariano Steiner, who talks us through the creation of his cheeky salamander-inspired quadruped by covering the concept and base mesh through to the detailing and final render.
