design research

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

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.
