Digital Tutors - photoshop layers to create a 'render' on a 3D model

So yesterday I got to use the machines in the 3D make lab....top secret Christmas stuff...more pics to follow!

And today, ahhh Digital Tutors!
Just starting an 11 hour photoshop tutorial....starting at the beginning. Oh wow. Shortcut heaven...

This is using the layer settings, hard light, multiply, colour to apply a simple 'render' look to an existing 3D model...

love the colour of her hair...needs some more work on her eyes though haha
