Hey
I'm pretty competent in using photoshop, but I want to move on from just 2d images to start incorporating 3d elements into my work.
My question is if I hire a 3d artist will they supply me with a grey render which I then colour in in photoshop. I have no idea of the work flow could someone explain the very basic or show me another thread that'll answer my questions?
Cheers in advance
Gareth

Hi Gareth,
If you want this - a 3d astist can provide the grey render and you can paint over it.
Or a 3d artist can provide textured 3d models that are already rendered with all the colors needed by you.
Or the 3d artist can provide a 3d model that you can texture in the latest photoshop and then provide him with the textures that he will use for rendering.

Yes they will supply you with a black and white rendering if you want this.
