The Joy of 3D Painting
Creating anything in 3D Software can be scary, but not when you learn from this Bob Ross impersonator…
With a campaign mission to entertain, educate, and encourage novice 3D artists, KitBash3D partnered with the Art Director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens to create fun, bite-sized pieces of educational content. The homage to the beloved and timeless Bob Ross, coupled with the Star Wars brand, helped garner tens of thousands of views across our Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube channels. I guess we all need a Friend.obj sometimes.
Episodes 1 & 2
In Episode 1, Nick Hiatt teases the wondrous joy of 3D painting and how all his lovely 3d tools can become your friends. In Episode 2, our 3D Bob Ross teaches us how every world needs light, no matter how dark your mind is. So it’s best to befriend your happy shadows and play patti cake with your art school demons. Then all you gotta do is pick your render settings, sit back, and maybe even read a book while your little magical paint pie bakes in the computer oven.
“May the Joy Be With You!”

Welcome the Render to the Neighborhood
Have you ever had terrible neighbors who use their staircase as a treadmill? Nobody likes that. So welcome your render into the composition neighborhood with some warm tea and honey baked ham. Creating a little atmosphere for your render goes a long way. Taking the time to create an atmosphere that ties the whole painting together, now that's worth two hugs and a trip to the ice cream parlor.
Friendly Shapes
Everybody needs a little lovin’… especially that background. Make sure you paint a little history on your scene with plesant shapes. Then reflect on those shapes: they are the building blocks to a happy scene, and more importantly, a healthy artist lifestyle.
Your Visual Effects will speak to you, if you’re ready to listen. So always place a human ear to your digital artwork and listen as you would listen to a loved one: your painting will tell you what it needs to be satisfied.
