PSYCHEDELIC RENDERS This artwork was made in ZBrush and Photoshop with non-photorealistic rendering. In ZBrush I used the SkinShade4 material and changed the Ambient, Diffuse and Specular values in the Modifiers section so the render remains flat. To add the white outline you must go to BPR Filter in Render, add the Outline Cavity filter and select the colour. This way you can now render by exporting the composition, ambient occlusion, depth and shadow maps. Export everything to Photoshop, with the composition map as the main layer, and the ambient occlusion, depth and shadow maps used as masks on colours, gradients, or on the composition itself to give it style with vibrant colours.
