Renzatic Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It's been a minute since I last posted here, so I figured I'd show off what I've been working on these last few. I don't have a complete project as of yet. What I'm doing is building up assets for a comic project I'm working on, trying to do at least one model a day over the next year or so until I have enough objects to mix and match together to build up my various scenes. I have about 23 models so far. I've thrown them together into a single scene to see if they work together coherently, and, so far, I've been pleased with the results. Since I'm using Designer heavily for labels and other designs, alongside a bit of Photo for touch up work, I figured I'd show off what I've done here. These are some of the labels I've done over the last couple of days. It's the first time I've used artboards, which makes me feel extra fancy. I actually did a lot of these vegetable objects awhile ago, based on a tutorial I did back when I was first learning Designer. I decided to repurpose them here, and add a few more to flesh things out. And here they are in scene, alongside a bunch of other objects I've made. I'm only a few steps along on a greater journey, but I think I'm off to a good start thus far. edit: Gotta include my most recent can. jmwellborn, v_kyr, Jowday and 17 others 19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzatic Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Yeah, I know it's been about forever, but I figured I may as well post the ambient shot of the work above. I've done a bunch since, but I figured I might as well show this off. The decal textures were done in Designer, and the final image was touched up in Photo. Also consumable loaf. v_kyr, dannyg9, jmwellborn and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to those who I've drawn inspiration from, a lot of my work is based upon things I've learned from 3Dex's and Yulia Sokolova's tutorials. In particular, my vector work apes a lot from Sokolova's flat icon style. dannyg9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireScribe Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I'm just starting out in Designer and looking at world building and creating maps using this program. How did you make these so three dimensional? Love your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're seeing here is due to the combined efforts of the aforementioned alongside Substance Painter, and Blender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timespider Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Amazing. I certainly feel like the bottom of the class when I view other designers work like this, but it gives me inspiration to keep trying. Love the scenes. Are the rust effects on the cans pixel or vector? Quote Motto - STUPID HURTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the rust effects on the cans pixel or vector? That's funny, cuz I feel, at best, like I'm an intermediate at this stuff. Like I know my way around these programs, but I'm not really truly GOOD at them yet. The rust effect was done with edge masks in Substance Painter, so it's bitmap. Most of my designer work revolves around logos, labels, and other arty details like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzatic Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Here's my most recent render. As usual, I used Designer for some textures, and did a lot of touching up in Photo to get these final results (with special thanks to firstdefense for helping me with my janky gradient issue). You'll have to embiggen it to get the full effect on the finer details, since I rendered this out at an obscenely high resolution. stokerg, telemax, StuartRc and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diopside Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Oh my... fantastic work. And vegenaut-approved, hehe. I dove into Blender about a year ago to help me enhance old maps with modern elevation data. Talk about a learning curve - and I'm barely even scratching the surface. I'm consistently blown away by what others do with it. Renzatic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a very, very simple scene, and there isn't anything there that can't be done by someone with even a modest amount of 3D experience. If you know how to do loop cuts, mark sharp edges, and do basic topology work, you could make something just like it yourself, no problem.

BryonManning Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Very interesting room design. Individual details and the general background create a double impression of comfort and fear. I do not understand why, but I was very interested in the picture. It can be used to attract attention, as described here. Edited September 9, 2020 by BryonManning Renzatic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gewoonm Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Wow, that looks great! i would be very curious into the original render: how much did you do in affinity photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renzatic Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 It isn't vastly different. I tweaked the colors very slightly, added some atmospheric details, some vignettes and shadowing, fixed some errors, and other random bits and bobs. Basically, I made it a little more dark and dramatic. Alfred, StuartRc and v_kyr 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MmmMaarten Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Great work @Renzatic. Love this style! Both the vectorwork done in Designer for the labels/textures as well as the Blender scenes. Artistic and still cartoony, great mix! Renzatic and StuartRc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
