Project Overviews Tutorials
This is the newest section of 3DTotal's tutorial area, these tutorials are not designed to be step by step guides and are often not software specific but instead provide an insight into how great cg is created, how projects are tackled and give away a few tips from the pros. . all in all very worth while! Happy browsing!

Are you interested in turning one of your recent projects into a tutorial for this section. It must match the quality of the work below but we make it worth your while ;) write into Lynette Clee - Content Manager

  • "Making of The Queen" by Peter Chen
    This “making of” article is sharing my knowledge of how I made the character – The Queen. I assume you have the knowledge of basic modeling skill in your favorite 3d package and I will focus more on rendering

    the material for the textures was taken from the complete “Total Textures” collection.


  • "The making of Macaw" by Waheed Nasir
    Hi there, I have chosen one of my own digital paintings, “Macaw”, for this step-by-step demonstration. Here im
    working in Artrage, to have a painterly look. Working in Artrage is like doing a real painting, one has to do things
    manually and that’s what I love about it.


  • The making of Automaton" by Kazuhiko Nakamura
    The idea of “Automaton” was born from the unique corporal images from anatomy models, crash test dummies,
    and mechanical dolls. I became deeply interested in the variable structure and antique mechanism of these bodies. Then, I hoped to add the pleasure of this variableness to the character...


  • "Bad Dreams" by Dorian Bushi
    First of all I want you to know that this image was created for a competition, the goal of which was Lighting &
    Rendering Atmosphere.

    This image was done for a competition at a Swedish community for 3ds max, www.animate.se. I will be focusing
    on the material setup.

I don't intend this to be an indepth tutorial, but more over a 'Making Of'. And I assume you have a good knowledge of your favorite 3d or 2d software.


  • "Making of Zhou Zhaung" by Xu Fei
    Though I haven't been to Zhou Zhuang, I was attracted by the worn-out wall and the winding bridge when I saw the
    scene first time. Therefore I found some reference pictures from the network    .


  • "Seat Leon II" by David Melchor Diaz
    This is a quick tutorial that explains all the process to make this composition. We´re going to see how to make the model, materials, lighting, render parameters and finishing the image with Photoshop.


  • "The making of All Road" by Neil Maccormack
    Originally I knew that I wanted to design and model a futuristic vehicle of some description without knowing exactly
    the type..


  • "Making of London Scene" by Jure Zagoricnik
    Since I didn't have that much 3D knowledge, I kept things very simple. Most of the objects started out as a box and
    then I proceeded to pull the edges/verts, cut, extrude (basic polymodeling tools). Only a few objects use
    Meshsmooth modifyer    .


  • "Making of Day" by Chen Qingfeng
    For the scene I made one simple building for this small tutorial and with the good textures of 3DTotal I made
    this model from one photo, and made one street for this small tutorial    ...


  • "the making of Wall Street" by Carlo Maura
    The modelling for this image is quite simple because it’s essential made by profile extrusions for skyscrapers
    and by subtractions for windows.Most complicated parts as the street-lamp were modelled using box modelling.


  • "Making Qwerk" by Mark Dooney
    This tutorials uses 3ds max, Texporter, Photoshop and the Total Texture CD 7. I don’t claim to be
    responsible for thinking of these methods, I simply learnt it from doing lots of tutorials, practicing and
    talking to friendly people on forums, hopefully I can pass something on.


  • "The nature of man" by Roman 'dOUGh' Kessler
    This scene was made using Lightwave for modelling, Photoshop was used for the textures, background
    image and post work. FPrime was used for final rendering.


  • "Making Swords and Daggers" by Tim Ellis
    This overview is specific to Blender 3D, although the principles can be applied to most other 3D applications.
    Some knowledge of Blender will be needed, as I don't cover any hot keys    . I used the textures directly from the
    Total Textures V14 CD, without modifying them    .


  • "Making of Happiness is a Blue Bird" by Jose Manuel Oli
    "Happiness is a Blue Bird that one afternoon settled on our warm palm and left us something like a trace of a lost paradise that never was reached by anyone and that everyone dream with at some moment, sleeping or in wakefulness".
