Thank you!

Keep practicing, I’m still pretty new and learning myself, but setting aside a bit of time for it a few times a week has helped me improve really quickly.

Thanks!

Most of the post processing was photoshop. The only elements “added” in PS were the water dripping off of the ship (thought about doing this with a particle system but for a still image that seemed like way too much effort), and then I put a little smoke and fog above the ground to give it some depth. Some basic contrast and colour-adjustments aside everything else was blender. I’ve tried doing more of the post processing with the compositor before but honestly I think photoshop yields a better result faster.

Good luck, you got this!

Been another week of pointless stressful bullshit at work for me, which eats into my real life outside of work more than I’d like. That being said, making some progress on finding a therapist (a surprisingly difficult process it seems) and also a driving instructor – almost made it to 30 without learning to drive, but the time is now!

Also starting the process of ditching music streaming in favour of Bandcamp, which has been fun. Been feeling some real nostalgia for the old days of buying tracks off iTunes!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Mostly from YouTube and doing lots of experimenting on my own, I particularly like Max Hay’s stuff on YouTube, he’s recently released a paid-for course which I’ve done about half of and can say that it’s also very good so far. Normally I just try and get a good picture of what I want the outcome to be in my head, block it out in Blender with cubes etc, and then start googling for specific techniques to make things look the way I want.

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thank you! I’m a big fan of Simon Stalenhag and this was very much inspired by Tales from the Loop!
