Overwhelmed by the complexities of creating 3D character from scratch?

Creating high-quality 3D characters is a challenging yet rewarding task. With the right guidance from an experienced 3D character artist, the process becomes less daunting and more enjoyable.

hotographers ask me how to photograph at night. My answer is that I do not photograph at night.

Why? I hate how it looks. Instead I prefer to incorporate elements of ambient light to make my “night time” looking images stand out

If you’re a photographer who’s pretty savvy with lighting but still can’t quite figure out why my images keep catching your eye, then this tutorial is for you. But fair warning—you’ll be hooked and want more after watching this! So, why not just grab the VP Box and dive into everything I do? You know you want to!

And, as always, I’ll walk you through the editing process to refine the final image.

Software used: Photoshop CS + ACR.

Sometimes capturing what you want simply doesn’t happen when you snap the shutter.

Learn how I create what I want in post by combining images, and manipulating expression to create exactly what I hoped to capture at the time the shutter was snapped.

In this video, there will be a bit compositing, liquifying, color correction, and BW conversion. We will do all of this while maintaining a simplistic look.

This video was designed to work with the video Putty, the posing video. However, it works well as a stand-alone video.

This image was captured during my Finding the Light class at Shutterfest 2018, and was well received by thousands of photographers. During my class, I spoke to 50+ photographers who all followed me as I was photographing different subjects in various locations. I stated that I scope out the light…how I will compose, and more importantly…how I will “Make it Sing” during post processing. Every single thing I do during a shoot is done for a reason, and post processing is also part of those reasons. This image was captured in a very simple location outdoors, and only natural light ( no reflectors) was used to light this portrait.

During this tutorial, you will see how I edit skin, master SHARP eyes right down to the eyelashes, as well other elements to create an eye catching close up.

Run time: 50min | Software used: Adobe Lightroom CC

After many many requests, I am finally releasing tutorials utilizing Lightroom CC 100%! Although I feel all images need some sort of core editing ( exposure, white balance, or sharpening ), I believe what makes an image sing, and fine tunes a signature style is creative editing.

Creative editing does NOT have to be a long process, nor add unnecessary time to your workflow if you photograph and/or edit with intention.

Join me with this tutorial as I give you all a taste of my creative editing in Lightroom. Part of my brand is to edit based on light. I will show you how I am able to edit my signature look in images captured in different light.

The art of making a soft material appear hard

Have ever tried sculpting a cube? Or a car? A sword? If so, have you noticed how hard it is to get the edges straight, not wobbly, and the surface smooth, not bumpy? Every sculptor battles these things when it comes to hard-surface objects: Things made to look like metal, stone, or other hard material. It's one thing to sculpt an organic human body or creature, where nothing is straight and where imperfections can be forgiven. Sculpting straight surfaces is another animal. But like anything, workflow and technique can make you successful with sculpting straight surfaces.

Fabric is a fun challenge for the traditional sculptor. Distinct characteristics like wrinkles and folds are easy enough to shape, but to refine them appropriately to represent different kinds of fabric takes practice.

In our sculpting class, we'll dive deep into the intricate world of mold-making.

Not only will I introduce you to essential terminology, but you'll also have the hands-on experience of witnessing the creation of several mold types that were previewed in our introductory session.

Together, we'll explore the techniques behind the block and 2-part box mold, the cut-open brush-on variant, and delve into the complexities of the advanced matrix mold

Having the Right Tools is Just Half the Battle

But that is not all: to make your start in sculpting is as pain-free as possible, we've included access to streaming tailor-made HD training videos showing you how to use the tools in the kit, plus step-by-step guidance for your very first sculpting project (yes, it's a monster).

Update: We've decided to focus all of our attention on our digital content. The SculptBox project was crazy fun to build, and thank you to all that supported it. This course leans on the SculptBox contents, but could be followed along with similar materials.

Our third stop in this Blender 2.8 series on creating weapons for a first person shooter is rigging. For most guns it’s fairly simple, and in fact I was going to combine it with first person animation, but I want to take it a step farther than usual and show you how to rig up a complex weapon that actually transforms when you switch modes from a rifle to a sniper.

There is a lot of technical wizardry that needs to be understood to effectively achieve your goal of having a character rig that can move in the way you want and is also easy to animate. RIG aims to make that achievable for you.

Are you sick of looking at your still models?

Would you like to learn how to rig and animate your characters?

Great. That's what this course is all about!

I'll teach you some really important rigging concepts to bring this Treasure Chest to life.
