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. ![]() Battlefield This one was inspired by one of the best artists ever, Ralph McQuarrie. I know the composition is not the most fortunate one. The initial sketch had a simple "one point perspective" composition, but I've tried to experiment with something more complex...and failed :)) That's why it's called trial and error. Anyway, I've put too much effort into it to throw it away, so here it is. Max for 3D, Photoshop for painting. ![]() ![]() The spaceship is 3D, the rest is Photoshop. Did it for a compositing test. ![]() I started this matte painting, inspired by Dusso. There is 80% work in 3dmax and terragen and then composit all in photoshop to add the waterfall and the mist. ![]() thanks v5cg.and hope you like my works... |
