INFLUENTIAL ARTISTS REVEAL 100 ESSENTIAL TECHNIQUES

For our milestone issue 100, we thought about the best ways to celebrate with you, the reader. We didn’t think it was enough to just look back at the magazine’s past–we thought we had to do something a bit different, a bit special. We wanted to both give back to our readers and to celebrate with all of the artists that we admire and have enjoyed working with for our first 100 issues. Getting 100 tips, whether from specific disciplines or of essential career advice, was a no-brainer, so we began collating top techniques from industry legends like Ben Mauro and Gavriil Klimov. But that didn’t seem enough, so then we went back to the drawing board and gathered 100 of these professionals to give us a tip each, including…

Construct a game-ready battle mech

Inspired by the recent battle mech trend in videogames such as Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Titanfall 2, this article covers all the essential modelling and texturing steps for a game-ready battle mech. The two main software packages used are 3ds Max 2017 and Substance Painter 2. We’ll cover the base shape refinement as we work on our low-poly model, learn about instances and the Symmetry modifier, and how to create realistic-looking edge panelling on the high-poly model. Learn how to bake by naming convention for the best texturing experience in Substance Painter 2 as we continue to create a stunning-looking texture with plenty of wear and tear on it. At the end we’ll take a look at the Export settings where we get them ready for creating a…

Sculpt giant monsters with ZBrush

In this tutorial we’ll go over the steps, tools and techniques used to design, model, texture, light, render and comp a giant monster. We’ll start off by using ZBrush to design, sculpt and paint the base texture. Then we’ll use KeyShot to create simple materials, light and render the image. Lastly, we’ll jump into Photoshop to comp together the passes we kicked out of KeyShot, create a background, give the image a story and work on its final colour and composition.

Master hair & fur in ZBrush

With each step of the following tutorial, we’ll take a look at the various processes involved in the creation of the Alpha wolf illustration. The approach will be methodical and we’ll try to sculpt the 3D elements with the end goal in mind, to save time and optimise resources. The creation process will start with the understanding of a few key points of the wolf’s anatomy, so that we can exaggerate them in order to make the illustration more interesting. There are a few important elements in the composition such as the pose, expression and camera position. We’ll try to keep these key elements in mind during the sculpting and grooming stages, so that each part contributes to the final image. The majority of this tutorial will be done in…

You will have a better understanding of how to set up materials and shaders for different types of surfaces (wood, metals, plastics and so on) and create lighting setups. We will then prepare your render passes for final post work in Photoshop. I like to use Modo for arch vis because of how easy and fast you can get feedback on all aspects (modelling, lighting, rendering, shading) and apply textures. Getting live feedback while editing all the channels really helps with achieving the final quality faster and with minimum iterations. For this render I used physically based shaders to achieve a realistic output. At first I wanted to…

ULTIMATE TEXTURING WORKSHOP

With an abundance of tools available nowadays for painting and creating materials, there are myriad methods for creating realistic textures. But then take into account how many types of models can then be improved tenfold and made to look authentic with materials and shaders. Even in the real world, textures aren’t as clearcut as simply wear and tear, rust and dirt–there are so many references that can be observed for creating real randomness that the possibilities are endless. So it’s understandable, then, that there’s so much variation even in a texture artist’s portfolio and you can see this distinction in the work of Jacob Norris, lead environment artist at NVIDIA and CEO of PurePolygons, who creates fantastic natural environments that contrast well with his moody, man-made city scenes. Norris uses…

ULTIMATE TEXTURING WORKSHOP

FUNDAMENTALS OF PBR

What is PBR texturing and why use it? Physically based rendering is a real-time rendering technique, which consists basically of using realistic illumination with real-life based materials to make them respond in an accurate physical way in order to represent lifelike environments/materials. If you are going to create an object using a PBR material, you have to be very careful to understand how this material should work with the light and both parts have to set up charts for the correct material behaviour (the way they respond to light) and try to follow this approach to maintain a believable cohesion. How do you texture in PBR ? Making textures in PBR is not different from how the textures were done previously, at least not in its initial approach. The essential…

THE TEXTURE BAKING RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

3D artist Sami Tarvainen explains texture baking and solutions to common mistakes What software do you use for texture baking and why? I use Substance Painter for baking textures and the reason for it is that it simplifies my workflow, which is great because now I can do more in the same amount of time and everything in one software. Also Substance Painter offers a lot of different options for baking and presets for exporting. Have you always used Blender and Substance Painter? If not, why did you choose to move to this combination of the two apps? I have used a bunch of different software for texture baking before Blender and Substance Painter: 3ds Max, Crazybump and ZBrush just to name a few. The reason for why I started…

Model & texture an asset for Unreal Engine 4

This tutorial demonstrates industry-standard methods of creating visually detailed assets for current next-generation game engines. In this tutorial, you will be learning how to create a highly detailed asset, along with using packages such as ZBrush to sculpt in extra detail. You will be learning how to create topology and effectively unwrap that topology according to the importance of the asset’s silhouette. We will also be covering baking maps for your topology and the importance of using a cage during the process of baking to achieve high-quality projections. Last but not least we will be using a texturing package called Quixel SUITE to texture the asset, followed by importing the asset and its materials into Unreal Engine 4. James Brady Rusty Farm Lantern, 2017 Software 3ds Max, ZBrush, Quixel SUITE,…

Rig, twist & stretch dynamic characters

Rigging, however complicated, is one of the main processes in the animation pipeline. It will inform the software how the virtual mesh will change, move and how the animation will look at render time. The technical director’s job is to produce systems that provide easy and efficient ways for animators to achieve the desired result for a show. 3ds Max is a software that provides us with many tools for making great systems, but even so, there may be times when we have to create our own tools–to do this we can use the programming language MAXScript. In this tutorial, we will show you some of these features applied to a dynamic cartoon character. JOÃO VICTOR FERREIRA Super Hero, 2017 Software 3ds Max Learn how to Create an IK Spine…

With Blender you can create a full project from sketch to a stunning final render. Nevertheless, creating a good-looking render is not easy, even if you have every step done properly.

That’s normal and we have all been there.

A lot of what I have done in the past has been more technical and, frankly, slower than where I needed to be to accomplish this. So, I needed to figure out ways to get around having to make production-ready meshes and textures, and still try to create something that hopefully maintains a higher quality level as a still image. On the sculpting/modelling side, I’ve been using ZBrush and Fusion 360, and discovered some ways to make more concept-level quality meshes in less time, but I still wasn’t happy with what…
