vehicle design for an energy money civilization
at that location it was interesting to paint the light falloff. light bulbs at night brighten up their vicinity intensely while the rest of the environment remains dark. #painting #artstr #paintstr #beijing image
Check out this short video where I show how I create automotive concept art. What stood out to me here was the ease with which richly decorated scenarios can be put together using asset collections like Kitbash3D and Big/Medium/Small.

@primal primal is a great nostr client, I love using it! one question: I am constantly zapping people and have received multiple zaps, yet there is "0 zaps" written on my profile, can you tell my why that is?
Unreal can easily display millions of polygons in a gigantic scene that stretches from close-up to the horizon. The user interfaces for landscape modeling or foliage painting are intuitive, allowing you to focus more on the overall composition of the image. Photorealistic Megascans assets are the key to a high level of detail in the shot. This brief video shows how I modeled the bike and staged it in the scene. It was amazing to see how intuitively you can create landscapes in UE5 and later "paint" them with trees, grass, rocks and so on. #unrealengine #ue5 #blender #conceptart #cinematic #motorbike #futuristic #scifi
floodlights of a remote sports ground pierce through the haze of an august evening sky. #speedpainting #plein_air_painting #artstr #paintstr #beijing #sunsetstr image
in the evening, the trees and gate of the li du shui an compound formed a clear graphical silhouette against the beautiful summer sunset sky. #speedpainting #plein_air_painting #art #artstr #artnstr #painting #paintstr #beijing #china #wacom #photoshop image
on that sunnny morning, a lady walked past wearing a tracksuit in the same pink-purple color as her umbrella. this is the bahe park, in chaoyang district of beijing. #plein_air_painting #art #artstr #artnstr #painting #paintstr #beijing #china #wacom #photoshop image
continuing the painting session that evening, I moved a few meters over to another building. what stood out to me here was how artificial light is captured by the leafs and trunk of this tree. image
light sources in a city at night are all artificial. they provide a stable lighting situation in comparison to daytime, when clouds, shadow or sun position are always changing. here I remembered the saying that light works like a splash of water - it emerges from the source, then hits nearby surfaces and rapidly weakens the further it gets away from the origin. image
let's start at the beginning, when I was testing out how this digital plein air painting might actually work. for multiple years prior, I had admired the work of a designer called patrick faulwetter, who is kind of a master in digital painting. finally, I had learned from his website how he actually did this! he didn't use mobile wacom cintiqs (the one with the screen), an ipad or whatever, he just used a laptop and a small A5 wacom intuous (the one without screen). on top of that, he used a camping chair to sit down practically anywhere and just paint what he saw. finally grasping how to pull this off, I got myself the exact same equipment and went out to sit somewhere and just paint what I saw. image
painting is fun, in the early morning or later evening, depending on the season, you get the most beautiful sunlight. with a laptop rig it's possible to stand anywhere and paint anything, digitally. I am not yet convinced if digital paintings can have an aura, as oil or watercolor paintings do, because there is no "original" version. the "original" is a photoshop file. if they can have a physical aura, then it will only be perceivable in combination with bitcoin. nothing digital had a physical aura, until 2009. image
