For some reason it won't attach in the replies, so I'll just make a new comment for it.
Anyways, this was the base out of 3DCoat and Keyshot.

Here's a painting I did using the technique's of this weeks video to use as a 3D base and then did a shitton of photoshopping on top!
Very late to the game on this one. I'll be trying to pick up the phase again from here on!

I'll put the base render I started off with in the comments:)

This was the base render. (rendered in Keyshot)

If you try to make gesture for human in 3D Coat would you do it also with curve tool or try use mannequin?

Hi, guys!
Here is a few shots from my homework for week 4 (and probably week 3). Rendered in Marmoset.

My HW for lecture 4 - I tried to work with 3D Coat in a more sketchy way. Rendered in Keyshot with some basic textures in PS.

I've been wanting to combine hardsurface and organic ever since I tried 3D Coat, it seems to be made for this sort of stuff. It's awesome to be able to make things that otherwise would have been completely impossible for me. It would have had to be some weird mixture of Modo and Zbrush and going backwards and forwards. This is so much better...

Lesson 1

2D and 3D Techniques

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.

Lesson 7

Advanced Keyshot Techniques

In the final stage of the 3D workflow, Jama will show you how to set up production-ready render passes and settings. Using texture projection workflows, you'll learn to create unique designs for characters and environments.
