Realistic Environment

This environment was based off of the Tlingit culture of Northwestern America. 

Here is an animatic that a buddy (Christopher Lewis) and I worked up  to pitch the environment - It has sound, so make sure you put those headphones on!:

 

And here is my section of the environment. Everything you see (aside from the trees poking through the sky-hole) was made by me: 




Everything is pretty low-ish poly. I think the polycount for the entire scene is around 20-25k...Well, that may be high...I don't know. Texture resolutions are all pretty high though...

Here is a small contact sheet that display the more higher-res objects in the scene:




Here is an admittedly atrocious camera move to show what it is like to move through the space. Youtube killed the lighting, so forgive me for the darkness....watch in 480!

Finished Environments


 These are as done as they are going to get for now. Learned quite a bit, although I wish I had done quite a few things differently.

Color Roughs

Update on those wips

These are the color roughs. A guy from Digital Domain came in to the crit, so I got some good info on stuff that I need to work on - mainly relating to color relationships, pushing concept, and pushing colors and contrasts...goodstuffs -- Look for the finals in a week or two!


Comin' along!

2 Greyscal W.I.Ps

Hopefully I can get around to polishing both of these in full color.

And, if you don't catch it, The house in the first picture is carved into a statue of a woman. It came from an idea for a fairytale where a woman lies down and gets turned to stone. Then some dwarf decided to turn her into a shelter.

Vanitas still life

A warm up exercise before we hit environments. Had fun. I feel like I've gotten back into the groove.



edit: can't tell if I like this composition better...
