Half B&W Line Art, Half the same art on Transparency

Photoshop Tutorials

Photoshop Tutorials; Lots and lots of PS tutorials, ranging from using the pen tool, to techniques, to working with 3D files. Most of them, like most of the tuts on this site, are a bit old at this point, and are about PS CS6 and earlier. I will be updating them. But in the meantime, much of the information is still good. Some of these are in video format, some are just written instructions.

Splash from Newest Bryce Tutorial.

Bryce Tutorials

A fairly extensive course in Bryce 5. Takes you from the very beginning all the way through the Deep Texture Editor and basically teaches you all there is to know about the app. But... Bryce 5, not the most recent version. They won't be updated.

Splash from Newest Lightwave Tutorial.

LightWave Tutorials

A number of tutorials specific to LightWave 8. Old, in other words. I don't use LightWave any more, but I've left these here, although they are so old they're in frames, because I've been told they are still useful to some. I will be updating the format. Because... frames.
