Yeah, agree it's an interesting addition to photographic images....can you recommend any resources to learn more about cgi & specifically it's application within photography? Cheers, mark

Great work, loving that final image.

I am also interested in cgi, 3D, sketching and surreal effects added to photography.

cgtalk.com is a great forum resource with a ridiculous amount of information..it's where I did most of my learning for 3d. I think that website helped me learn more than my college did!

[Temujin]

CG society is good start, but its plenty other great sites out there.

Definitely , learning Maya & 3DS Max at the moment so anything other than learning to model a robot & that has practical photographic integration would be amazing....will also be checking out those links, Cheers Mark

Very interesting and well done. I would imagine many would be interested in your tutorial procedure in detail. The combination of skill sets would seem to have no limit for creativity.

Well, i dont have time to prepare whole new making of articles, until i finish some projects, but here is my two older making of videos:

Your work is very much fascinating and interesting.

If you don't mind could you let us know what 3D software do you use? Well i have no doubt there will be Photoshop included for sure.

Which 3D software do you recommend to be able to produce something similar to yours?

I'm looking toward Lightwave or Cinema4D. With photography, which would be the more suitable software?

You know, its not anymore about which 3d package is better these days. Every sw have unique features but basics is the same. It is more about what you find comfortable to work with. So try LW and C4D and decide what feels better for you after few day od trying. Im using 3ds MAx, V-ray render, Z-brush for detailing and Photoshop for compositing and postproduction. I also have few plugins here and there in 3d and PS...but i dont rely to plugins much so im doing lots of stuff manualy.

Just wanna say your website is fantastic. I look forward to hiring you in the future.

It always amazes me how much software CG artists use to create a peice of work. How did you go about learning it all? Considering I spend 95% of my time in photoshop, with the other 5% developing RAW files in Capture1, I'm learning new things with just these all the time. I couldn't imagine having to know 4 different programs to produce a peice of work!
