And there’s another step-by-step tutorial showing you how to create a stylised portrait in real time.

We also have two Blender tutorials this issue, one focusing on mastering arch viz, the other is on creating 3D fractals using Blender’s new real-time renderer Eevee.

And, if abstract art is what you seek to achieve, you’ll love our tips and tricks feature that’ll show you what you need to do to create your own compelling artwork.

Also in the issue, we take a peek behind the scenes at Weta Digital to discover the challenges of making a photo-real character for the manga-inspired sci-fi movie, Alita: Battle Angel. And we also talk to the producer, Jon Landau and the director, Robert Rodriquez on the aesthetic choices in Alita.

Using the Unreal engine and Unity to create real-time VFX for film production is the hot topic in a special feature, where ILM’s Rob Bredow says he believes that the world’s first real-time VFX blockbuster “isn’t years away anymore…”

There’s all this and loads more besides. 3D Artist issue 129 is available to buy now from all good newsagents. You can also buy it online, or through the Apple Newsstand (simply search for ‘3D Artist’).
