Hi everybody!
I wanted to share my latest personal work with you. The lighthouse is inspired from the "Old Point Loma Lighthouse" in San Diego/ California. I used 3ds max for 3d and photoshop with a Wacom Intuos3 for the textures and compositing/color correction. The background is a photograph that I took in cloudy day. I changed the colors and contrast for my taste. I used hair and fur for the grass and some mental ray displacement for the walls and the ground. It took 7 hours to render the final image. I also used an ocllusion pass rendered seperately. I really don't know how long it took for me to complete it, because I did it in my spare times.
Comments and critics are wellcome. ]]> Sun, 08 Apr 2007 16:15:12 +0000
