http://scutteh.blogspot.com/2013/10/photography-parks-and-forests.html

Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog. Photography - Parks and Forests. Went for a walk round Fitzgerald Park in Cork while there are still some leaves on the trees. Got there just before the rain! Here's the link to the preset I made if you're interested where I tend to start from for these kind of shots: Here. Some basic tips for shooting/editing a lot of greenery:. The below shots were taken last month in and around Killarney National Park. Plenty of greenery there! You can leave a response. A Graduate of the U...

Concepting and Spitpaint | Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog

http://scutteh.blogspot.com/2013/11/concepting-and-spitpaint.html

Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog. Got interested recently in a FB group called Spitpaint. Similar to lunchcrunch it gives a rough topic to choose from then you have 30 minutes. To create an image from scratch (no photos/phototextures allowed). Here are my first few goes at it anyway;. Below: This was the first entry I put in to the spitpaint group. Taking about 27 minutes. The theme was 'tunnel entrance' although ended up making it more like the exit! By doing this it also improves my sculpting workflow for c...

3D Project: Clothed model project part I | Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog

http://scutteh.blogspot.com/2013/10/3d-project-clothed-model-project-part-i.html

Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog. 3D Project: Clothed model project part I. Very quick post showing the starts to a new project I'm working on. This is based on the current on demand workshop I bought from Zbrushworkshops. You can find the specific course here. After a very quick play last week trying to get used to Maya again I managed to create a rough jacket and got it working in Zbrush (see below). I decided to start again from the start with a project in mind. From the novels/ 40k universe. As I'm not go...

Tutorial: Importing to Sculptris | Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog

http://scutteh.blogspot.com/2012/02/tutorial-importing-to-sculptris.html

Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog. Tutorial: Importing to Sculptris. I'm planning on writing a tutorial on creating a 3d statue/sculpture with multiple models to build up the overall image using only completely free software but thought I'd start with moving models from Maya to Sculptris just as a starter;. Find Sculptris for free here: http:/ www.pixologic.com/sculptris/. Why use multiple models? I did this in Maya but this should work with all main 3d programs. I'm going to work on doing one for Blender ...

Quick Paints/portraits in Photoshop | Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog

http://scutteh.blogspot.com/2013/11/quick-paintsportraits-in-photoshop.html

Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog. Quick Paints/portraits in Photoshop. I had the weekend free to do some sculpting but ended up getting not far with it. Sometimes clay or Zbrush doesn't want to play. I didn't want to waste the complete weekend though so tried my hand at some quick concepts/ portraits. Below: Noir: Tried a different style as I wanted the contrasting tones from the rim and shadows to shine through. It didn't work great due to out of practice scaling/sketching but for the bold style I just w...

Tutorial: Quick character sheets in Zbrush | Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog

http://scutteh.blogspot.com/2013/11/tutorial-quick-character-sheets-in.html

Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog. Tutorial: Quick character sheets in Zbrush. Think I saw Cesar Decal Jr utilise this in his introductions to Zbrush found on his youtube pages. I think it's great to study how traditional artists use digital software as they always seem to have some really innovative techniques which may be overlooked/ completely unused by digital veterans. By default when you select a front, right or top view it will automatically go and fill out the opposite for you. When you click Make Char...

Lizardman colour tests | Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog

http://scutteh.blogspot.com/2013/11/lizardman-colour-tests.html

Lee Greatorex Photo/3D blog. Just a quick update on the lizardman concept I was working on. If you didn't see it here was the initial paintover. I started adding the frills / horns and tested out some legs (the legs and arms I'm going to change but I wanted to test scale). I started a rough colour paintover after completing the frills. I wanted to try blending some colours and used some Iguanas for reference (the head was based on iguanas, it's where I got most my lizard reference from). Dan Walsh - I'm ...
