Improving your 3D renders in Photoshop

In this tutorial you will learn how to improve your 3D renders drastically using simple techniques in Photoshop.

Nearly everything you render from any 3D application will benefit from some post work in an application such as Photoshop, even if it's just simple color grading. By default, most renders are bland; they're missing contrast and the colors are usually far from perfect.

Useful tools:

Brightness/Contrast
Color Balance
Black & White Layer for checking your values
Brush tool

Making of The Devil's Fountain

Making of The Devil's Fountain

One day I was taking photos around Lisbon , and I came across some beautiful stone statues in the middle of lakes set in some of the city's most beautiful parks. Later, I came across another fountain in a square, which had three of those classic angel-like figures standing below. Taking this photo as reference, setting it in the mood I had witnessed before at the park and adding a malevolent twist I decided to make the painting entitled "Fountain of Hell".
