This project puts an emphasis on weathered textures coupled with creating photo-realistic shaders and lighting. We were given 10...

Hi Guys, To create this comp it was necessary to make a 3D tracker in Boujou. I modeled some hot air balloons using displacement mapping; created some 2D balloons in Photoshop and applied them in cards; and combined all the elements in MAYA. Then color corrected, lens flares and final comp was...

Hey Guys, My UFO Project was based on a classic saucer disc combined with sweeping lights. During this project I tried to be more focused on composting stuff like color correction, reflections, CG integration and create elements like particles and energy. Thanks, :)

hello, During the Still-Life Project we have to create Photo-realistic shaders and lighting to match it existing object that we choose, that in my case I worked in model and texture an old mirror. Cheers, MoN_RB

The Product Shot is the forth project of the year. Create a photo realistic brand-name object for a simulated TV commercial product shot between 5-10 seconds in length. The product must be cleanly established and have suitable text/logo overlays displayed before the commercial ends. I like...
