Heart - making of

Heart - making of

Hello, my name is Dimitar Dimitrov, I`m from Bulgaria and I have been working in the CGI for 5 years.

The main thing I want to write about in this making off tutorial is not the technical part of the project. I want to write about the organization of the work. The main problem of the CGI artists who make non-commercial job is that they don't finish it on time. The first thing I do when I start the project is to check how much time I have. I joined NOX competition at the end and I had just few days to make the image so I have divided my time into:

  • Concept - 2 hours - few quick sketches in my sketchbook.
  • Looking for references - 2-3 hours - I found some great references for organic here: https://www.biodigitalhuman.com/home/
  • Interior modelling and texturing - 2 hours
  • Heart modelling and texturing - 10 hours
  • Lighting - 3 hours
  • Retouching - 3 hour
Everything took me about 23 - 26 hours in 4-5 days. This is very important in every project you make. You must finish your work before the deadline.
 

The job

Ok, lets do the job:
1. First I modeled a heart in 3ds max, unwrapped it and exported to obj to add detail in Zbrush:

2. I built the scene. I knew that at the end the background will be blurred and almost nothing will be visible there so I didn`t waste my time to add detail and make better texture for there.

3. I used 2 great scripts for next step. I made floor tiles with this StonePlacment script ( https://www.aardolino.com/stone-placement-tools-maxscript/ ) and made webs with CobWebs (https://jokermartini.com/2012/05/09/cobwebs/ )

4. I found out that Nox have a great ability for postproduction so I had in mind what I wanted to make with lighting and just added few lights in the scene and after that I controlled it in the postproduction stage

5. I didn`t want to go too far with heart and make it bloody. I wanted it to look more like an illustration.


6. Final image:

3D character models: when to use ready-made assets instead of custom designs

Working in CG and archviz often means balancing creative intent with production realities. Human presence can support scale, context, and clarity, but it also adds another layer of decisions. Ready-made 3D character assets help keep visual focus where it belongs without expanding the project scope beyond its real needs

Using 3D building models for industrial and commercial visualizations

In professional visualization, buildings are more than background elements. They define context, scale, and clarity for industrial and commercial projects. Well-prepared 3D building models help viewers read a scene instantly and understand its purpose without relying on technical descriptions or supporting text
From concept to render: where 3D models fit in the pipeline

From concept to render: where 3D models fit in the pipeline

The production pipeline in CG and visualization is built on a sequence of clear decisions. Each stage depends on how information is defined, shared, and preserved. 3D models serve as digital assets that translate abstract ideas into structured visual data and consistently carry them through to the final render
Why 3D model bundles are the smart choice for designers

Why 3D model bundles are the smart choice for designers

In professional CG and architectural visualization, efficiency depends on structured decision-making and reliable resources. Using grouped 3D assets allows us to focus on scene logic, composition, and project consistency instead of repetitive asset preparation and library management.

3D furniture models: speed up interior design projects

3D furniture models support structured, predictable interior design workflows in professional archviz. In projects where deadlines, coordination, and visual consistency matter, ready-to-use assets reduce friction and enable teams to focus on spatial decisions rather than repetitive preparation.
