Zeropainter - GFX

Hi, yes - I know what you mean - real world is the best reference, but e.g. if you are living in the mountains and you are far away from the nex ocean/large sea - so you need to trave for painting large sea or looking for photo-refs or making studies from other masters.

Btw. I love that cam (I own an older model from 2010) - if you can get a cheap model - take it - not so good - she is very slow - but great colors / values if you take a photo with good lights or with a tripod.

"Fahrenheit 451" - inspired by the book of Ray Bradbury - with the same name. As Ref - I used 3D, Panzer Cop Jin Roh and so on ...

I used Lots of Alphas mostly done with Photoshop or by Multipass Alpha in 3D, but the overpainting/painting was done in Verve in 99%

That is seriuosly something!
Congratulations!

That's fun, Zero! I almost wished there were even more movies hidden everywhere, like some silhouettes in windows and such...
Impressive work for sure!

You seem to be as eclectic in your tastes as I am. Everything I read and see here show the hallmarks of a dedicated sci fi/fantasy fan. Well done and I love seeing all the references to past films

I saw this artwork on your fb page first Zero,
the figure, the bg, n the compo, it just rocks! congrats,
that's a flame thrower, am I right?
do you use blender?

Hi, no - I use moi3D, 3DCoat and Silo - but I'm not so good in 3D
3D can be very good, but its not good if it slows down the process, but good for e.g. for lot of windows like in my image - or for multiple Objects, like my cars

For the PanzerCop I didn't used 3D - only 3 simple blocks for the flamethrower

Moi3D is the more ergonomic 3D Nurbs Program! A true gem!

3DCoat nice too ... here an example again - just for fun speedpainting with 3DObject as Alpha for the Brush #0

interesting, how do you manage to create a 3b object as a brush?
