AMERICAN VETERANS DAY SALUTE_Using KeyShot!

[Doug Didia]

Hi guys,
Thought I would share some recent renders this year learning Keyshot 7. Still learning. Tomorrow is American Veterans Day and I thought it fitting to find a way to say "thanks" to all who have served and sacrificed for our freedoms! I love using KeyShot to visualize messages, tell stories and invite the viewer into a world that only exists by the limits of your imagination. Thanks to GrabCad and Turbosquid for a lot of free downloads. Enjoy.

Super nice shots ! The one with the chopper looks badass. Great work.

[Bernardo Lickfold]

That chopper  really nice

[Josh3D]

Badass indeed. And a big thank you to our veterans.

[3dproyecto]

Master shots!

[Matt Hanzly]

NIce job, I like the A-10 and Chopper has a video game look and feel.

[theAVator]

Awesome!! I love the A10! Great job on all, and right up my alley.

Just curious, is the mud on the tires in #5 modeled and/or what sort of material did you use to get the mud look and feel? Did you use maps for the other dusty tires or material graph?

[Doug Didia]

Thanks for the compliment. The mud and dirt on the tires are both modeled and some photoshop post work. Here is a typical approach to my render breakdowns. I call the modeled sand or mud " ONION RINGS" they can be imported, scaled and textured to suit each image. It would be much cooler if I knew modeling, Zbrush, mudbox and Substance painter, so this is more limiting. I combine region renders to get the final look I want.
Hope this helps.

Thank Tim!!  KeyShot 7 still holds many hidden jewels for us folks still getting up to speed...looking forward to it!

[KeyShot]

Awesome images! We will be adding scattering media in KeyShot 8, which may help you with the smoke.

[Will Gibbons]

Dang, Doug! That's no small amount of work. The Fighter Jet is my favorite. Very nice.

[Doug Didia]

Thanks Will!  Can't wait to see KeyShot 8 possibilities in that regard. I depend on photoshop to fine tune subtle depths of field, haze, fog, smoke, values as they falloff to create a mood. Elements that can be manipulated and added to an original 32 bit render are always in my post work. On another note, I wish KeyShot 8 would also introduce " Multiple Region Renders" by holding down a shift key or something. I can't tell you how many times that would have come in handy!!

Incredible!

Multiple RR... It's being considered.
