Tekkit 3D Renders

[Kewish]

I've been teaching myself Cinema 4D. I've been a lover of Photoshop/Illustrator for a good 4 years. 3 months ago I discovered the joy of 3D renders. Modelling, texturing, and of course waiting nearly a day for my pictures to render out.

I wanted to try out a Tekkit related render to test some new techniques. So far I only have these two pics. Anyone from SGTekkit will have seen them already however, I wanted to share these with other Tekkit lovers!

Really awesome work. I myself got C4D but am too lazy to learn it (seems to complicated for me, did once something with text but imo turned out not so well =D)

I know that some people make a work in C4D and then take it to the next level in photoshop (you could take that as a useful word of advice/inspiration for future works) .

[Kewish]

Thanks champ.

I think C4D as well as Max and Maya are programs that you can spend countless hours learning. I guess you've really got to be interested in CG.

This is true for stills, but I've been playing with animations of late and have been taking them into Adobe After Effects. It has really good integration with Adobe products.

the plugins for after effects can make some amazing stills easier than photoshop in some cases.

Thank Erus, I've not thought of using AE in that way. I don't have any plugins for AE, with the exception of Trapcode Particular. I am a hobbiest photographer so I look at PS as my 'go to man'.

Photoshop is fantastic for editing RAW camera images. Even particular can make some cool stuff. You spread it out, throw a little air on it, colorize and add a glow and you have a cool lookin smoke/fluid like line that spread across layers.

Photoshop is fantastic for editing RAW camera images.

Absolutely! I always shoot in .RAW along with a tiny JPEG, I only have a 50D but even with the smaller sensor she get's the job done. I'm looking forward to using Camera RAW For CS6. I've seen the vids and exposure correction among a myriad of other new features is a little too exciting.

I'll make note to extend myself further with AE and learn some new stuff!

video copilot has a boot camp and some tutorials on plugins you may not have used before. A lot of the skills can be translated out.

made this a little while ago from his tutorials.

[Kewish]

Yeah Andrew Kramer is amazing. I've seen a lot of his tutorials. I even have his designer sound pack. I used it to make this. Keep in mind this is a WIP and not nearly near done.

That's a really nice animation too man! Great work.

Like I already told you these look great I want to see more!

[arctichenry]

I second sct, these are epic. I would love to see some more renders of common tekkit items.

[Chimæra]

Holy crap! That's amazing!

[Kewish]

Thanks guys. I've been caught up with the never ending supply of Uni requirements and my new bike. I've not done any graphics or Minecraft at all for that matter for some time. I really do enjoy it so when the excitement of the R1 subsides I'll do some more Tekkit related renders!

[ErusPrime]

sometimes I like to view these pictures, turn the lights down low, put on some Al Green or Otis Redding and touch myself.

[Kewish]

Pics please.

Only a few things to say... Awesome and tutorials?

Thank you. And that would take time I don't have anymore. That would be kinda fun to make however. You can just do a heap of tutorials on Cinema4D and start there!

These kind of look like fancy erasers or chewy candy. Very nice!
