Today’s Presidents Day, here is another study using Kitbash 3d’s “Victorian” set. Did layout in Maya, added some SpeedTree trees to scene. Used Redshift to get a base render, then painting in Photoshop. Maybe 2 hours of photoshop work to enhance the render.
I took the Kitbash Victorian set. Did a quick Redshift render with atmosphere and some lights. About 1-2 hours in Photoshop. Not perfect, but fun.
This is the render out of Maya in Redshift
I love to watch tutorials on other artists workflows and tools. You never know what little kernel of awesomeness you’ll unravel. This rainy weekend I was trying out some of Jama Jurabaev’s tutorials and Steven Cormann’s new tutorial. Both artists are amazing and seeing their process unfold is a delight.
Jama’s tutorial is on gumroad (he has a bunch). But the ones I took an interest in are using Octane renderer and Blender.
To contrast that, Steven Cormann has just released his tutorial, Epic Matte Shot. He is using Redshift as his renderer. He does a great job breaking down his workflow.
If you get a chance take a look at both artists tutorials and their work. You will not be disappointed.
Mel Script for converting Maya Shaders to Redshift Shaders. I’m using Kitbash3d’s Victorian set to convert the shaders.
Simple video on exporting out your heightmap from World Creator and bringing it into Maya using Redshift. The height is sometimes tricky to match from the one package to the other.
I’ve talked about SLib browser as means in maya to have an organized asset library. Another great feature is ability to import HDR images with sky domes based on your renderer of choice.
There is a growing arena of places where you can download excellent assets to add to your 3d Library. There’s the usual places like Megascans or Textures.com. Kitbash3d has been adding to their ever impressive city/building library. Another place I recently found is Terrain Domain that is for landscape assets.

Just a simple post today.
World Creator exploration that I brought into Maya, and rendered with Arnold.
It looks like I had some issue with one of my maps when I compared it back to my World Creator file.
Using World Creator with Height fields, specifically using terrain.party maps.
From last week’s terrain creation software, here’s a look into World Creator.
It’s a very easy to navigate and great visualization as your work instead of standard input nodes and render them like in World Machine. This feels more like 3d Photoshop.
Stacking filters on layers to then create your geometry.
