ZBrush, Blender,
Cycles, PhotoshopThis bubbly image was created by Colombian
character animator and 3D generalist Oscar
Gonzalez. “The most funny stuff to play
with was the materials, to achieve those
transparency spots without making them
look flat and create a gradient with a more
opaque look in the head.”
When sculpting the basic shapes for an
image like this Oscar favours Blender or
ZBrush, depending on the complexity of the
model. “When I feel the overall shapes and
proportions are okay I go to detail making inZBrush, creating a sculpt that will give me a
normal map for Blender.”
When it comes to dreaming up the
concepts for his work Oscar has some simple
advice to share. “I start drawing with pencil
and paper because I think it is the most
efficient way to create a sketch, then I do
three or four variations even if I love the first
option – you should never go straight with
the first option.”http://www.artstation.com/ogonzalezfish
