Wrong Way
Tonights sketch using all the tricks in the book. 3D, painting, photobash, the works to see what I could pull off in a really short amount of time. Overall about 2 hrs, without a prior concept. I just figured I was tired of doing sinister looking cubes, so I was going to change it up and do a sinister looking sphere.
The 3D part is pretty simple, just a sphere and some displacement for all the details and the mountains. I then rendered out a few passes to help with the painting part.
This is called an ID pass, and it just allows me to isolate different parts of each model.
This one is called a normals pass, and it assigns a different color to each directional normal(direction each surface is facing) So that I can select and isolate different areas on each model based on direction. Basically makes it to where I can re-light the models.
Then there's the z-depth pass that allows me to isolate and select different depth ranges in the image. It's good for adding atmosphere.
Here's how the painting went.
That's about all for this guy. Was pretty fun to do. I just looked at the Steem price, holy crap it's .52, wow..52 cent Steem. I'd been around some Steemians that said this could happen, but I honestly didn't think it would ever get this low, pretty crazy. Anyway, as always, thanks for looking peeps!
i enjoyed that
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😊

It looks like the products in fiction films
Yea, that's pretty much what I was going for :)
Sinister looking spheres are just as cool as sinister looking cubes XD
I still haven't figured out passes or what you do with them (aside from something about composite something). The painting looks awesome though :D

Thanks! :) So in the case of a painting it basically just gives me a bunch of ways to make selections in PS. If I were going to animate this though you can use these for similar stuff in your compositing app of choice. So you can selectively color correct different parts of the image. Especially comes in handy if you're trying to match a live action plate :)
