Next, I’ll take to Poser’s cloth room to pose a female figure wearing a dress that flutters in the wind. Finally, I’ll show you a few post production steps in GIMP.

In this video I show you from how I created the scene “The Moose”. I start by showing you how to create a wintry forest in Vue, then how to use the scene generated from Vue as a background in Daz Studio where the moose is rendered. Finally, I show you how to use GIMP to better integrate the two renders and do some post production work.

Whale, A 3D Tutorial using Scuptris, Blender3d, Vue, and Gimp

In Blender3D, I rig and pose that model, and in Vue I construct an underwater scene featuring the whale model. At the end, I show you how you can upload art to FineArtAmerica and make it available for sale.

Re-texturing Poser Figures Using Zbrush – A Video Tutorial

Sometimes I don’t like the texture that comes with a Poser (or Daz Studio) figure. So I re-texture it using ZBrush. I thought that other 3D render artists might benefit from knowing how I do it, so I posted a tutorial on Youtube.

So…here’s the video:

Being a 3D render artist, people seemed to think that I might be using some sort of particle simulator or something, but, no, I just do it using the open source image editor GIMP.

So…here’s the video:
