Bringing Carl Johnson to Life: With an Original Rockstar North Artist!

Can an original GTA developer bring Carl Johnson into the modern era? 🛠️ In this week's video, things get personal! I’m diving back into a universe I actually helped create 22 years ago. Today, I am taking an incredible 3D model of CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (sculpted by the amazing team at Zenith Studios) and bringing him to life with cutting-edge 3D resin printing and high-end miniature painting techniques. Thanks to the team at UniFormation for sending over their massive GK3 Ultra 3D printer, I’m tackling this giant build with dual-printing workflows, custom zenithal highlighting, liquid chrome airbrushing, and highly detailed skin-tone layering. From fixing support artifacts on his iconic ribbed tank top to recreating the classic gold-and-silver concept bike, watch the entire step-by-step breakdown from a former Rockstar artist! Make sure to watch until the very end for a special personal message. ⭐️Uniformation: https://www.youtube.com/@UniFormation3DPrinter-official ⭐️https://www.instagram.com/uniformation.3d/ ⭐️Uniformation Amazon link: https://amzn.to/4a8JMhM #gtasanandreas #3dprinting #uniformation3d #gk3u #gta 6 Model Creator Patreon: ⭐️Zentih Studios creator Patreon https://www.patreon.com/cw/Zenith_Studios_ ⭐️Gaahleri Products - https://www.gaahleri.com/?ref=R23D ⭐️10% Discount code - R23D ⭐️Various Paints:- Decco Color GOLD Marker: https://amzn.to/4mQsgDe Molotow Liquid Chrome: https://amzn.to/3Hg6Pwf ⭐️My US Amazon LIST: Tools & materials: Sanding Sticks: https://amzn.to/41FzRMy Cutting Mat: https://amzn.to/41KlruD Exacto Knife Set: https://amzn.to/3Jj0VuU Airbrush Spray Cleaning Pot: https://amzn.to/45IbLlL Latex Gloves: https://amzn.to/41bZ9BQ Rubber Mat: https://amzn.to/3HG7U0e CA SuperGlue: https://amzn.to/41MOY6R Blue Masking Tape: https://amzn.to/45DCQpQ Nail Art Brushes: https://amzn.to/4lxcQmg Makeup Brush Set: https://amzn.to/4lx6QtB Magnetic Alligator Clips: https://amzn.to/4mR9TxX Magnets: https://amzn.to/416n9pZ Magnifying Glasses: https://amzn.to/4mjQFkr Tablet Stand for Desk: https://amzn.to/3Jin5gM Stedi Glass Files: https://amzn.to/47y9sE8 Stedi Model Nippers: https://amzn.to/45SMGpb 360 Turntable: https://amzn.to/41FZEnO Harder & Steenbeck Ultra Airbrush: https://amzn.to/4oGat3c Silicone Brush Set: https://amzn.to/4oGDUCi Vallejo Liquid Mask: https://amzn.to/47xl8Hc 00:00 - Introduction: My History with Rockstar Games & GTA 00:52 - Unboxing the UniFormation GK3 Ultra 3D Printer 01:58 - Slicing & Overcoming 3D Printing Support Issues 02:15 - Priming & Zenithal Highlighting 03:02 - Airbrushing Molotow Liquid Chrome & Gold Leaf Details 03:42 - Painting the Iconic White Wall Tires & BMX Bike 05:41 - How to Paint Realistic Denim Textures on Jeans 07:34 - Weathering the San Andreas Cobblestone Base & Graffiti 09:51 - Advanced Miniature Painting: Rich Skin Tones Step-by-Step 12:00 - Painting the Double-Mag Weapon & Fine Details 12:30 - Painting CJ’s Face, Mustache, and Realistic Eyes 14:35 - Final Reveal & Special Announcement ⭐️R2-3D on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/r2_3d.me/ Music tracks from Uppbeat (C) Uppbeat.
