Over the last 8 years, Isaac has narrowed down his workflow to only the tools that are absolutely essential to his craft. His chosen software and add-ons can be easily picked up with a slight learning curve, so in this 2-hour tutorial, Isaac shares his process for making a cinematic image from start to finish and discusses what he believes are the most efficient techniques applicable for each step of the process.

The primary software used in this tutorial are Blender and Photoshop. Isaac details how he likes to keep his creative process experimental and enjoyable without getting lost in software menus.

The final stage of the workshop focuses on refining in Photoshop. Isaac shares his thoughts on photobashing and how to ensure the image quality remains consistent as new details are added. He instructs how to adjust the base 3D render and demonstrates his digital painting workflow, as well as how to tackle color grading to bring the image to finished quality.
