New Painting... no title
Another day...another painting. This time a tweaked workflow with the ref created in Mudbox (a very old sculpt as still no Wacom tablet after the last one melting), and then painted on 70cm x 50cm canvas in acrylics.
So the workflow is solid.

New Painting: Demon (Workflow 3Ds Max to Mudbox to Canvas experiment)
Something a bit different for this painting (i.e. something that doesn't exist). I wanted to test a new workflow for my paintings that will allow me to combine the skills I already have in 3D and digital sculpting with my painting. The idea is very simple and involves basically sculpting your own reference image.
A I am still without a Wacom tablet, it was a matter of taking an ancient model of mine (that autodesk used in a couple of demos if memory serves) doing a bit of mouse sculpting mudbox and then lighting it in mudbox and using the screen capture as my reference.
This should open up a whole new world for me in my paintings once I have a bloody Wacom tablet again. So please treat this painting as what it is...a experiment only. (You could nearly put this under the heding 'Waynes Crazy Experiments' in fact LOL).
For those interested in technical stuff, the canvas is 60cm x 50cm and painted in acrylics (as usual as oils take way too long to dry for this impatient old bastard.) using a 'drizzle / drop by drop technique....which takes fucking ages but is worth it I feel. I might do a few tweaks to it tomorrow if I feel it needs it when viewing with fresh eyes.

Wayne's Crazy Experiments: Google cardboard
Click on image to get full size 4k pano and save to your phone. |
I've been messing around with google cardboard VR at the moment So thought it fun to share a spherical panorama of the old Durham cathedral interior I did when teaching one of the FXPHD courses a few years back.
So simply load it in by clicking on the above image and saving to you android phone and loading up in cardboard. Its rather groovy.
Also its very easy to render out a spherical pano in 3DsMax. ;) I should point out this is one of the older versions and not the final cathedral version of the interior I did (as I cant find that at the moment). Hence why samples etc are low.
I'm adding this test image as its freaky as hell to load up... wouldnt want to do it when drunk lol |
