        Salut Pilou. No, they are not automatised. I have to render each pass individually and combine them in Photoshop. Thanks for asking. I hope this answers your question.

        Bonne journee! β˜€

                    Thanks, Oliver. Really appreciate your kind words. Honestly, I don't know when I will have time to finish it. I have lots of WIP that I need to work on, too. Since I have so many images to post, I have been trying not to post huge images so that my Photobucket account won't explode. πŸ˜‰

                    Thanks for you comment, Karl. I have another WIP of a hangar for my spaceships. I will post it soon.

                    Here some old Sketchup conceptual models for the game Defiance (http://www.defiance.com/en/) that I worked on in late 2009 to mid 2010.

                    I did not do the Photoshop background painting. It was done by another in-house concept artist.

                          Hi Jason,

                          Just ask me your question(s) and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am always busy, and it might take days, but you will get a reply.

                          Take care.

                            That sci-fi/steampunk submarine I did before needed a hangar.

                            So here it is. A WIP, it has been over 4 months and I still have not had the time to go back to it, but I will finish it someday.

                                      awesome ken! I may buy the game just so I can see your models πŸ‘

                                      Thanks, Oli. Actually you won't see these models. There were done back in 2009. They got some new designers and a new Art Director on board the next year, and they changed most of everything based on the new directions. I was back to working on Rift at that time.

                                      Here's another personal project in my series of Sci-Fi interiors.

                                      Skp + VrayFS + Photoshop

                                      Have a good day!

                                        Hi there,

                                        More stuff from the game Defiance. They were done a while ago back in 2009.

                                        Have a great day!

                                            Lovin' your work Ken πŸ˜„

                                            Especially the giant, sculptural machines a few posts above.

                                            Some of your more orgainc stuff reminds me of Sparth's paintings - http://sparth.tumblr.com/

                                            Was wondering if he was an influence πŸ˜„ Either way, awesome work - I always check out your threads first when I visit this site.

                                            A.
