Eldorado by Marek Denko

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:40:30 GMT

After a while I�ve finally finished my new personal project called �Eldorado�. Soil was originally made for a commercial print but client refused this version asking for less violent soil and so on and so on� We all know how these clients/studio stuff work. I kept the soil scene and decided to use it for my own project since I liked it pretty much. I added lots of extra features like grass strands, roots, leaves and other small bits here and there. At the beginning I wasn�t really sure what will be the hero of the shot. I was thinking about tennis ball, golf ball, pack of cigarettes, bottle etc. but at the and one little toy car won. Here is why: While I was in Los Angeles in 1Q of 2009 I bought lot of toys for my son Adam. All those action figures like Alien, Predator, Spawn, cars like Audi TT, Ferrari and couple of smaller cars I took because I just liked them. As the months passed by and I started to find these toys on the places all over the house and garden almost destroyed by little 2 and 28 years old boys. I took one of them and decided to put it into this soil environment. It was one of these cars I bought just because I liked it. The 1953 Cadillac Eldorado. And that�s the story� the rest is just my usual 3dsmax, Vray, Photoshop, a bit of Fusion and couple of hours per day. Routine indeed. I was surprised that it has HUGE amount of polygons. Something around 1,566,320,053 (yes it�s over 1,5 billion ) I never really cared and I checked just now while I was writing this promo text. There are mostly instanced models so it was all rendering using just 8-10gb of RAM. Scene was rendered to 5000�3200px resolution and it took around 7 hours on my 8 core machine with 16Gb of RAM. Dedicated to my family.

Rain Street by Zhang Naigang

This architectural rendering is one of my personal works designed for the front cover of the new book. With the focus on the streetscape after the rain, this image intends to illustrate the subtle variation of colors. The bleak and depressed atmosphere is vividly created to show the streetscape after the rain, offering a particular visage of the ancient European architecture. The new book is one of high end architectural rendering books for Max+ VRay.

Let�s share our knowledge in architectural illustration !

Carnotaurus Sastrei by Damir G Martin

It could easily be a tiger of late Cretaceous, Carnotaurus Sastrei. Evaporation of humidity and the rain that fell on it's back is caused by the body heath. Big prethistoric forest areas have very unstable weather, and are constantly watered. I dont like to think of dinosaurs as cold bloded,slowly moving excuses for living beings, instead, In my mind, they are agile, fast, active warmbloded animals. Such is this Carnotaurus, who stoped briefly to listen arround, before moving on trough thick vegetation of this prethistoric jungle. Image composited out of few photographs I've taken in the near by woods, Zbrush model and some paintover job in photoshop.

This an image I created for a Graphics 3D Competition recently held here in Spain. I used one of my last model (the Nascar car) and added the character and environment in a funny way.

My return to rendering. It was a learning process and a test of renderman. I wanted moody picture hence low contrast and dark lighting.

I love the work the artists did for videogame covers in 80 and 90 decade, it has been a big influence in the image development.
