“Most of all I enjoy modelling and designing, that’s my bread and butter. It’s the most creative and challenging part of working,” explains 3D artist Tomi Väisänen. Tomi has almost a decade of experience in 3D art and currently works at Wargaming in Helsinki.
Outlining his creative process Tomi says: “First of all I gather references to inspire me and give a hint towards the direction I’m taking. After that, I start blocking out all major forms, when I’m at least somewhat happy I’ll start the modelling.”
Tomi usually works in 3ds Max, MOI 3D and Zbrush at the same time, combining the best bits from each software. He continues: “When everything is modelled I start playing with lighting and materials. Most of my lighting comes from different HDRI setups to keep everything clear and consistent. When the rendering is done, I composite and colour correct everything in Photoshop.”
