Transparent Creatures Tutorial
2 min read
Happy New Year!
For those of you curious about the new Transparent Creatures tutorial available now, here's a trailer to wet your appetite!
This tutorial will show you how I am able to start without an idea, and quickly render a creature to completion featuring transparent skin layers and organic forms. Sculpting the design from a sphere in ZBrush, I spend my time building up a foundation of anatomy and surface details. Working with Subtools to build out additional organic parts such as teeth, eyes, and organs. I discuss how I work with Polypaint to create convincing skin textures, and how I adjust my render settings in ZBrush to produce my final images. Finally, I share how to composite your renders in Photoshop, preparing the creature for final presentation.

Hey everyone!
I hope you all had a happy holiday, and will be looking forward to a happy new year!
Today, I'm excited to announce a new tutorial in the store: Transparent Creatures! Nearly 3 hours of video documenting my process in creating semi-transparent monsters. Using ZBrush to sculpt, texture, and render with BPR. Finishing the project in Photoshop with compositing techniques. All done live, no time-lapse or jump cuts.
Thank you all for the continued support, it means so much to me and my family. Happy sculpting!
