Step by step: Get that post-apocalypse look Open Road 2009 Software used in this piece LightWave 3D modo Photoshop 214 Create a barren post-apocalyptic scene – featuring a Mad Max movie style vehicle – finished with a grungy concept art look Waldemar Bartkowiak specialises in modelling and texturing
Transport Easy-to-follow guides take you from concept to the final render Artist info Design inspirations The style for the scene Waldemar Bartkowiak Username: mancubus Personal portfolio site www.mancubus.glogow.org Country Poland Hardware used Quadcore Q6600 2.7GHz, 8GB RAM Expertise Waldemar specialises in modelling and texturing The idea is to build a post-apocalyptic style car, like you might see 01 in the Mad Max movies, or Fallout computer games. It needs to be rough, dirty, put together from different parts – look mean. Most of the parts need to be rusty, weathered and damaged, showing it has been built from junk and that it has a long history on the road. We chose the cliché setting – on some desert road, which highlights that there are few to no survivors left. Texturing, lighting I n this tutorial, the main goal is to create an image, which has the feeling of 2D art, but uses 3D tools. You can find a lot of shiny, brand new, realistic car renders out there, but we want this artwork to stand out from the crowd. We feel that concept art really complements the rusty pick-up truck in a postapocalyptic environment better than any other style. To create the image, a combination of 2D and 3D skills will be used. The car will be modelled with a large amount of detail, using LightWave 3D and modo. We want to design a truck that looks as if it could actually have been built in reality, but give it an illustrative finish. For lighting, rendering and compositing, LightWave 3D will be used to match the background. To get the 2D feel, multiple passes will be composited and then combined with overpaint techniques, using photo textures, procedurals and hand-painted elements. Finally, all the layers will be composited in Photoshop. For the base, we used a 02 combination of two popular pick-up trucks: a Dodge Ram and a Ford F-150. Using parts from both of them, the car was customised to make it less recognisable. Of course the car also needs custom tyres and a different engine that will stick out from the car body. We opted for a pick-up truck for the vehicle as it will be able to carry a greater amount of armour, fuel and equipment. Plus the survivors can load various objects/ resources, which they may discover in this unfriendly environment. You can’t have a post-apocalyptic 03 vehicle without weapons. Militia in some countries use pick-up trucks as weapon bases/ fighting vehicles called ‘technicals’. While looking for references, we found the big, mean Russian Kord machine gun that seemed perfect for the main gun. Then, you can go on to look for other details and references like rucksacks, fuel canisters, pieces of armour, etc. This research part is very important, and the amount of time you spend on planning your piece at this stage will definitely pay off later. 215
