Purgatorium

Thu, 27 Jan 2005 07:33:22 +0000

I thought I should do my version of Dante's purgatory so here it is.
The background is a mattepaiting, the foreground (including the water,the boat,the reaper and the pontoon) is 3D.
I'll post the starting scene also and a wire.
C&C are welcome.

TerraNova

I started this one as a VUE test. Next thing I know I was caught up in this personal project for 3 weeks
The driving force behind this work is the idea that we are not alone in the universe. After all, it would be a terrible waste of space right? So I envisioned the exploring mission of some advanced civilization having first contact with a primitive new world.
I wanted to remove one cliff in the back in order to kill the simetry but I thought it looks cool though.
Render took almost 15 hours at 4000 pixels wide and ultra settings. I painted over in photoshop, keeping the actual VUE shape for a future camera projection.
The spaceship is made in max, with some heavy paintover in PS.
Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it :P

Modeled in max and mudbox, textured with photoshop and bodypaint, rendered with maxwell at 5k resolution since I wanna print it.
the background is a mattepainting. Some columns are painted over in photoshop because maxwell seems to love noise so I had to paint it over a lil bit. Rendering time was 50 hours at 5200/3000.
I did it in 3 weeks, oh well 2 and a half weeks without max crashing

This is the version more closer to the initial sketch.

"Left behind" was intended to be a mattepainting only but I started to play a little bit and I think it's enough for this piece...
the buildings in the back are also 3D.
