Hi guys,

It has been a while I have not posted some of my military vehicles.

These were done whenever I have some free time for a span of several months last year. I will eventually render them like I did for the other vehicles that I posted earlier in this thread.

Thanks for viewing.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Ken maybe this can interest you!
Some more conceptual than your design!
Prototype link is above the youtube video site!
(use a big screen and not a latop as you don't see the full menu! (it's a prototype ! (best soon)

Merci Pilou for the video. Very interesting.

Hi there everyone,

Here are some more concepts for Simcity. Some industrial buildings.

Have a good week!

More great stuff Ken.

Would interested to know how much of the scene is 3D and how much is comprised of 2D elements. Love the tilted camera-angle and composition

cheers,

Hi Andy, Thanks for your kind words and interest in the making of my art works.

As you can see in the images below, I'd say 90% 3D and 10% 2D.

SketchUp changed my life as a concept artist. And the day I found out about Lumion3D, it was a game changer in the way I do visual developments.

Besides these programs mentioned above, I also use E-On Software's Vue for natural environments (see some of the older concepts from the The Art of SketchUp - part 1: Fantasy - e.g. Gods and Heroes concepts).

Anyhow, back to this current image. The techniques I used are very similar for all of my visual developments.

I combine/compose all the pieces in SketchUp or Lumion3d. Working in 3D allows me to move elements around quickly to see if the composition works. I can also play with lights and shadows. That would be impossible to do in the old days (just using Photoshop only).

I have a library of tons of 3D models that I use in my work to save time. I only build some of the unique 3 assets or things that I don't already have.

When I am satisfied with the overall composition and mood lighting, I bring it into Photoshop.

Paintover: FX (fire, smoke, dust, muzzle flash, shells, etc.), color correction, hue/saturation, contrast, etc.

I hope this helps. I will post some more concepts soon.

Have a great week!

Ken,

I want you to know that I pop into this thread whenever I want to see what is really possible with SketchUp (maybe not humanly possible....have you been tested?). It is tremendously inspiring to see your work, as well as humbling when going back and looking at my own.

If I could one day model something half as cool as what you could put out in half a day, I'll be a happy man.

Thank you for your kind comments, Mark. Very happy to hear that my work can be an inspiration to you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. And no, I have not been tested, but if I were, you would find out that I came from a galaxy far, far away...

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a terrific weekend.

Here's a concept I did using one of my droids.

SketchUp + Lumion3D + Photoshop

Have a wonderful week!

Hi Tim,

Welcome to Sketchucation.

These are cool renders, but maybe a bit too grainy.

What rendering engine do you use?

Cheers!
