I tried Shapr3D while I was on vacation and learned it pretty quickly. But over the past several months I’ve taken up CAD tools, as it’s easier and faster to create more sophisticated, hard-surface designs. My primary tool is always Photoshop, and my primary 3d tool is Maya - I have the most mileage in that software so it’s familiar and fast. What are your go-to tools for design and modeling? How did you discover Shapr3D and how does it help you to accomplish your work? Hard surface designs like props or vehicles are oftentimes full 3d, with less painting time spent in Photoshop. Other times I’ll create high detail designs in 3d if it makes sense. Sometimes I build low-detail models and paint over them in Photoshop. Depending on what I’m working on, I’ll use 3d in different ways. The various tools are so robust and fast now, designing in 3d is faster than ever. I use 3d software in my work pretty often these days. I started off learning 3d Studio Max, and eventually learned many others along the way as needed for projects.
I started out from art school as a 3d Environment Artist, because those jobs were the easiest way to break into the industry at the time. How did you get into 3D modeling? What purpose does it serve you in your work?
From games, I branched out into Animation and Visual Effects work for clients like Lucasfilm, Disney, Digital Domain, NBC, Warner Bros and more. I started out working as a 3d Artist in games development, and eventually transitioned over to concept art and never looked back. Most days I do a lot of drawing, painting, and 3d modeling for clients, turning ideas into tangible designs for their projects. Hi Chris, thanks for sharing your Shapr3D and modeling expertise! Can you please tell us about yourself? What is your background and what do you do?Ĭhris Glenn - I’m a Concept Designer based in Los Angeles, working in the entertainment industry. Once I felt comfortable, I started making more complex designs." I made ten or twelve small random objects, trying new techniques on each new part. I started off making easy, small parts where I could try things and experiment stress-free. When I was first learning Shapr3D, I didn’t worry about making anything ambitious. "My main piece of advice is to start small. In Part 2, we’ll hand Chris’ design over to Industrial Designer Lasse Pekkala to create a concept rendering based on the model in Concepts. Here in Part 1, we’ve invited Concept Designer Chris Glenn to demonstrate how he modeled his mini tank in Shapr3D. It pairs excellently with design apps like Concepts to create accurate models, design studies and illustrations for product designs, architectural concepts and imaginative concept art.
Shapr3D is a 3D modeling CAD app created just for the iPad and Apple Pencil. Welcome to our skillbuilder series on 3D modeling and design rendering with Shapr3D and Concepts.
