WIP_00

I'm working on a short right now and I like this project.
So, I will let you see some steps of it
..first WIP

matte painting - video art

Video art for my last matte painting

matte painting - la vallée du faucon

This matte painting was made for a video project. An Ecology Advertisement.

I wanted to show a kind of relationship human being can have with the environment in the future.
Instead of desctructing it to live, just live with it!

Facial animation

Personal work after I figured out how it works, I did this by myself.

Lip Sync

Personal work following the book
"how to cheat with maya 2010".
(this is Goon, not a work of mines)

Run Cycle

This is a self-made run cycle for a school work

Facials..

Terry

I learned a lot making this character!

From modelling skills to normal maps, I also learned how to put a 3D mesh into a real scene.


Maya - MentalRay - IBL
RoadKill (for UV maps)
Photoshop

ZERO!

I saw a kind of bottles contest in a 3D-forum and it made me want to do it too.
The contest was finished yet but no way, I had to make it for myself!

I wanted to push further the realism, to make it like it can be for a real zero advertisment.

For this work I also used Maxwell

Maya - MentalRay - Maxwell
AO + Beauty pass + Maxwell rendering
Phtoshop

IBL - HDRI

As a CG artist I have to improve my skills!

Surfing the net, I learned a bit about HDRI and how to use it as an Image Based Lighting in Maya (IBL) then I worked up this new skill to see how much realistic it can be.

I wanted to get something more realstic that I have done before.
You can compare the different result with my olds works. 




Maya - MentalRay - IBL

SIDY BLACKSUN

This is a character I designed and dedicaded to my cousin (nicknamed SIDY).
We both liked DragonBall Z so much when we were kid (and still now).


Maya - MentalRay - sun&sky (always)configured
AO + Beauty pass
Phtoshop

I can matte..

My first matte painting

I was surfing the net to understand how to make it.
I figured it out and then I made it!

I think it is not easy but not difficult too.

It is a mix of many pictures.
Photoshop helped me to put it together well.

The Gate of The Temple

My ending-year project.

For this work, we all had to design a gate.
I wanted to create a gate from an old mythologic big temple hidden deep inside a big wood like the Amazian Forest.

As you can see, I had some glitches for rendering leafs but I never figured out why..
No way! My work is done and I met the deadline :D



Maya - MentalRay - sun&sky (configured untill I get what I wanted)
AO + Beauty pass

Photoshop to put it together

Trompe l'oeil

My second project for my 1st year at school
(after 6months).

For this schoolwork, I wanted to show how a storage cupboard can be left unattended.
It is a few steps before going to the attic hehe..


Maya - MentalRay - a mix of lights (that I configured untill I get the ambiance I wanted)
Ambient Occlusion  & Beauty pass.
(for this work I learned that AO helps to get more realistics shadows)
Photoshop to put it together an get the final result.

my Wall-E

My first school project.

We all had to model it and pu it together with a landscape.

For this work, I wanted to make it feel like Wall-E was travelling around the world waiting for a sign from the sky because he completed his cleaning work.
