3D renders are often combined with vector elements and photostock elements to create stunning visual effects. While some artworks can be created merely in Photoshop, most designers are forced to call upon other programs in order to achieve truly brilliant effects. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a Poser figure, create a shatter effect and render it in 3DStudio Max, then use Photoshop and some simple stock images to create a brilliant and visually stunning water explosion effect. Even if you don’t have Poser or 3DSMax, we’ve included the render in a PNG format for you to play with, and you’ll still learn valuable techniques.

This tutorial covers many advanced techniques, but not to fear, as we will walk you through step-by-step how to create it. You’ll learn rendering, depth of field, dispersion, photomanipulation, and how to add the tiny details that all combine for a brilliant artwork. So, let’s get started!

People who are new to Poser often ask why it is that they can't group several objects together with the Grouping tool. A valid question, however the Grouping tool is utilized specifically for grouping polygons on props and body parts. Why and how one would do this is covered in other tutorials. Here we are talking about making an actual group of objects! Yes, it is possible to "group" objects in Poser. This group can then be scaled, rotated, and translated as though it were a single object.
