City in the Sky

I did a small Project for a myth and symbol class a couple of weeks where we had to create a city and its culture. I don’t think the teacher actually meant for us to make a fully rendered CG interpretation though… but I have a tendency to go above and beyond, and as a result I get what you see below. Took me 3 hours to model, texture and light, and took an average of of 6 minutes per shot to render. Since this was just for a humanities class I decided to keep it simple and use the plug-in Greeble as filler for the small buildings.

I feel quite happy with the way it turned out so I think I’ll eventually taker it further and model the buildings myself.

Lost and Found

I was doing some massive file maintenance on my hard drives (I got 6 of them) when I came across a treasure trove of old W.I.P files and decided to post their progress. All of them were created in 3ds max.

The Three Towers

I’m beginning to like digital painting. You feel more flexible and less constrained than if you did it traditionally. There’s no clean up required and you get the added bonus of an undo button

And for extra,  I added my “Other” latest work in progress
