HI , just showing some concept I had that always liked to do a matte painting with it , and here it is , a big temple baased on roman architecture
multiple techniques
3D modelling , lighting and rendering
2D photo manipulation , color corrections and 2D painting for architecture and details
this is just for my personal portafolio
I would call this 2D since this is all composited in photoshop]]> Sun, 25 Feb 2007 22:41:27 +0000 http://jamesvfx.cgsociety.org/gallery/454543
