2D and 3D Techniques

Lesson 1 in Intro to 3D Concept Design

Lesson Information

Deciding which dimension to work in is a tough choice. To start things off, Jama will walk you through the advantages and disadvantages of using 2D vs. 3D, and the power of combining them together. We will then do a tour of 3D-Coat, including the tools and workflow Jama uses to create concept sketches.

Homework

Assignment

1. Starting from silhouttes, create a futuristic cityscape. Try using different shapes from study to build a nice variety creating your own unique shapes.

2. Take those unique shapes and paint height maps

3. Render and texture your setup in Keyshot

Yes your are right Sathish. I need to keep that in mind! I also don't understand how render depth pass works? I have it turned on but I don't see any atmospheric element to my cityscapes... unless of course I need to do something else to make it work?! ^_^

Good idea gabriel, may be add different variety to the building texture,and also render depth pass in keyshot to seperate the fg and bg..

Finally some free time to finish one. Not much of a cityscape, but I tried (not very successfully) to make a forest using the Keyshot patterns. Critics are very welcomed

Hello everyone. This is my very humble first try.

Jama Jurabaev 7 years ago instructor

Felix,

very good start,
love building designs.

You can try bringing in a bit more atmospheric perspective using Keyshot`s depth pass or just paint it in.. Looks very promising!

Good start felix....keep going...
