i did a first version of this a long time ago .. ( with a dull black paint job ) but was never really happy with the result ...
and decided lately to completely redo it
the original model has been mostly throw away and completely rebuild with a cleaner and more efficient meshes

how do you feel about it ?]]> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:37:42 +0000 http://xtrm3d.cgsociety.org/gallery/811904

i did do those rendering to illustrate a video tutorial about my workflow to achieve this kind of look in maya 2009 with mental ray .

having started my cg career with lightwave , i was very fond of the cell rendering possibility that this software have to offer ,
being now a maya artist i really wanted to be able to duplicate those result , i tried the paint effect method but at the end of the day .. i do prefer the result and ease of use of mental ray
each picture i done with 2 pass one for teh color and one for the outline rendertime for each pass is around 30 sec
then a little bit of post processing is added in photosho cs or in digital fusion ]]> Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:51:03 +0000 http://xtrm3d.cgsociety.org/gallery/728774

i did create this piece for the upcoming gnomon master class
where i would be showing the workflow involved in the creation of this retro future russian skimmer .
- doing the uv using the free maya plugin diamant uv tools from www.tools3d.com
- texturing and a little bit of detailling in zbrush
- shading and render layer / multipass rendering setting in maya
- compositing in digital fusion and finishing in cs

my target was to make it look like a small diorama , hence the exagerated use of DOF
