      Does the operations in your tutorial are automatised ?

      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.

                                    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.

                                            Thank you for your compliments, Andy. Yes, I know Sparth's concepts. Very inspiring.

                                            Here are some more conceptual models of alien stuff from Defiance game.
