Here is the newest demo task I made for my current mentorships students.
This task is the final task for this term and our goal is to take sketches from Week 2 and push our concept sketches further into fully interactive 3d environment. I built my design based on previous sketch I made for Week 2 "Designing with Forms" and recreated the scene in 3d using 3dsmax/Octane. Then proceeded to final painting part in photoshop. This process is very efficient in the film and games industry since you can achieve great designs relatively fast but you are also able to provide your client with fully interactive 3d location which makes your design more useful in the production pipeline.
I switched totally to Octane Standalone lately (I used only 3dsmax plugin version before) and I think that was a great step since it speed up my process few times.
The whole demo is 4-5h long process recorded in 4K
