Abandoned Lab Tutorial

The final illustration of abandoned lab

I MADE A PRIMITIVE 3D MODEL OF GLASS TANKS USING 3DS MAX.

THAN REDERED IT USING KEYSHOT.
FIRST USING A GREEN GLASS MATERIAL FOR THE TANKS

RENDERED ONE MORE WITH LIGHT AS A MATERIAL

TIME TO TAKE SOME PHOTOS OF MY WIFE :)

LETS DROP THE RENDERED TANKS INTO PHOTOSHOP

PUT BOTH THE IMAGES ON TOP OF EACH OTHER
AND FIND A NICE BALANCE OF LIGHT AND GLASS LOOK
BY USING THE ERASER TOOL

PAINT THE “PATIENTS”.
USE SOME REAL BODY PARTS TEXTURES TO MAKE THEM MORE REALISTIC
TRY OUT SOME OF THE LAYER BLENDING MODES LIKE
SCREEN OR COLOR DODGE FOR BETTER RESULTS

SPEND SOME TIME TO PAINT COOL DETAILS LIKE BUBBLES AND CABLES

CUT THE CHARACTER OUT OF THE PHOTO AND DROP IT INTO THE PROJECT
FIND A NICE PLACE FOR HER AND START SOME
COLOUR BLENDING BY PAINTONG ON TOP OF THE LAYER

ALWAYS PUT SOME OLD RUSSIAN SCIENCE EQUIPMENT INTO THE SCENE!

THE DUST/HAZE/ICE FX ON THE GLASS IS MADE BY USING
AN AIRBRUSH AND SOME CUSTOM MADE PARTICLE BRUSH ON A SEPARATE LAYER
THE WATER DROPS TRACES ARE MADE BY USING A THINY ERASER TOOL

I PUT SOME MORE TEXTURES OF OLD ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
I PAINTED SOME MORE DETAILS ON THE TANKS LIKE SCRATCHES AND REFLECTIONS
BLENDED THE CHARRACTER MORE INTO THE SCENE
AND MADE THE WHOLE IMAGE MUCH DARKER

I PAINTED SOME ICE IN THE BACGROUND. IT MAKES THE SCENE LOOK ABANDONED
AND INDICATES HOLES IN THE CEILING

AND NOW YOU CAN SE THAT SOME LIGHT RAILS ARE COMING THRU THOSE HOLES
I PAINTED SOME MORE CABLES AND THROWED SOME LENS FLARES.
BE SURE TO SPEND SOME TIME ON DETAILS LIKE DUST AND FOG.
