Sebastian's contributions

I did the block-in modeling for the rock walls and set up our camera and set dressing to match the reference image.

I uzed zBrush to subdivide and sculpt in detail in the center formation and and left wall. I touched up Josh's sculpting by adding a door to better match the concept art. 

I lit iteratively, making small adjustments. 

Our materials were a mix of maps and procedural textures, with the stone having procedural bump augmented by normal and AO maps. The steel plates had textures painted by Josh. 

This is our mentalray render:

I did our compositing work in AfterEffects. I color corrected to better match our reference.

We had zdepth renders that I used to create depth of field. 

 

Project 02 - Clone Wars

SANDY THAN

Modeling the ground and statue 

Lower ground:

• Sketch the top view
• Add edge loops, then extrude down 

Upper ground:

• Sketch the top view 
• Use sketch as guide to cut out the surface 
• Extrude the whole surface, then extrude up the stairs 

Block: same method as upper ground 

Statue:

• Divide the statue to 4 parts
• Use extrude and move vertexes in front view 

Sculpt the stairs in Zbrush

• Use Slash3 brush

Effect testing

1. Dust tornado

• 3D Container and an object as emitter
• Use volume axis to control the direction of blowing dust 

2. Snow

• Create particle emitter 
• Add gravity, vortex and turbulence 

3. Dust crumble

• Create emitter and 3D container
• Change settings of shading, lighting, container properties,etc.
