Hello everyone, in this overview I’ll share some of the techniques I used in the creation of this image. I’ll cover the basics, modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering. The image was created using Lightwave 3d, Photoshop and 3D total’s texture collections. Don’t worry if you don’t use LW as your 3d app, what I’ll show you can be replicated in any 3d app with a decent poly and subd modeling toolbox. Let’s get started.
I wanted to place this character I had recently made in an unusual environment just giving a hint of where she comes from and the creatures that share it with; what lies beyond the room is for the imagination. I also wanted to add an element of surrealism by adding some fish in the foreground, almost if they were floating in mid air when in "reality" the room really is filled with clean purified water.
