wow. spent yesterday evening going through some competition WIPs. both this comp and another. learned some very interesting modeling and rendering tricks.
time consuming read. but highly recommend people doing 3D make some time. the 2D Photoshop compositing tricks probably not as interesting. one guy did a trick in Rhino that i will definitely research. he has a tutorial on his website (he’s an Industrial Designer). but the WIP question and answer was better.
