          Awesome images ๐Ÿ‘ , I can see on the bottom one what is PS and what is model as the transparancies overlap but the top one has me wondering.

          Can you quench my curiosity by posing your workflow or an image of the model, the render and the images you used in PS so I can get an idea of your technique?

            Wow, very nice indeed โ—

            In addition to what Pete has asked, could you give a brief description of your SU to Modo import? Thanks.

                  This is SKETCHUP?????? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                  Amazing. You're a Syd Mead Fan aren't you.

                  If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                    yeah, syd mead is in my blood. he's an alum of the same school I went to.

                    i've attached some process:

                    1. this image is for a car company. so the final image i posted in not the actual image, as i can't show you the concept vehicle. but I always start with a sketch. establisihing overall color, lighting and a little design.

                    http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/santsephai/1-1.jpg

                    1. I do the sketch at the final proportion I want. usually close to 1 - 1.85 format. widescreen. Then I matte painted the BG.

                    http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/santsephai/2-1.jpg

                    1. Photomatch my sketch painting in SU, and start to build over it. I'll usually go between 2d and 3d designing and redesigning till it all works.

                    http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/santsephai/3.jpg

                    1. Then I bring my image into modo. I used the SU importer. Applied some procedural textures, GI, reflections, bumps and lighting. I have a script that will match the SU camera to the Modo camera.

                    http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/santsephai/4-1.jpg

                    1. then composite the image in photoshop and add details - see final image.

                    let me know if anyone has any other questions! The SU - Modo transition is a bit hard, but i'm figuring it out...a SU/modo hybrid would be the perfect solution.... ๐Ÿ˜„

                    this image is pretty detailed and I had a lot of time to do it. most of my production work is looser. You can see some of it at http://www.totalrihal.com

                    cheers

                      Wow, thank you so much for the explanation. Simply breathtaking.

                      I am curious why you are modeling in SU and not in Modo. It seems this type of organic scene would be easier in Modo. But then again I am a Modo newbie so...

                          Thanks for the compliments.

                          I'm starting to model more in modo. I just understand my SU workflow so well, its difficult to make the shift. I'm struggling a bit with sub-d concepts, like having the right number of polys/loops to retain your models structure. But that is another issue. I really love SU's simplicity.

                          not to change the subject, but I was thinking if it was possible to somehow create a UV extension for SU.... kind of like vray is integrated into the SU interface, or even layout and style builder - i wouldn't have to learn modo! ๐Ÿ˜„
