House -Watercolour render in Photoshop

 House Render 

 Back to 2D and Photoshop.  I wanted to try and get as close as I could to watercolour render.  This was based off a google maps roadside capture.  I layed in the structure as I usually would.  I modified a brush to give a pressure sensitive line and with a dual brush setting added some randomness to the line.  For the watercolour pen I played around mostly with scattering and added wet edges and build up.  With these tow tools I rendered out.  I kept the palette light to mimic the watercolour feel.

Another Blender project playing around with the low poly and applying some tools from the tutorials.  Hopefully some of it will stick and it will be possible to work a bit faster.

Back to 2D this week.  A study from an image from Google maps.  Did the top one then tried some methods of shifting the palette

Working on some more scenes in Blender.  Built up this one using a few resources.  The fire was animated using method in s tutorial from ClarkusMarkus.   The stars using method  from this tutorial by Curtis Holt.  I also tried to use the volumetric effects from there also but balancing that with the fire was difficult.

Blender tut

Another blender effort  following a blender tutorial by Blender Guru.  This was a really good series to get familiar with the Blender basics.   I spun it a little for this. Going to keep working through some more tutorials

Still 3d ing

Continued learning more modelling.  For now I am just following the Tutorial by CG geek.  Though it is not all virtual - to balance here is a watercolour.

Venture into 3d (again)

First 3d in a while 

I think this is the first time I have shown any 3d work on this blog.  I started out learning 3d way back when.  I did some tuts in Maya and decided the software was too cumbersome for 1 person to work on projects at a reasonable rate and my 2d skills were too poor to model well.  That was about 10 years ago. Well the software and myself (I hope) have improved so I thought it would be useful to get some skills in 3d.  I decided to use Blender primarily because it is free but also because I have noticed more folks using it. So I went back to the tutorials and have been working through them with varying success,  This was the first one a tutorial by  CG geek  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lj643VmTsg&t=867s.
