          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˜„
