This term at FXPHD is the advanced 3D environment course MOd302. These are the results of class 1, diving straight into it, we were charged with creating a still promo frame where the Joan of Arc character is standing atop a mountain looking over an epic sunrise. This is my first time using Vue, happy with the results but then again its a pretty basic scene so… next up class 2!

STAGE 1 - basic environment

STAGE 2 - adding clouds

FINAL STAGE - more clouds, composition and main elements

This is the result of about 2 days playing with Nuke for the first time. Using all nuke tools for the composite, matchmove & roto. CG was rendered using Vray multichannel EXR. Here is the nuke script, a bit messy but I’m just learning

The creature is called Gigantactis Uglvious.
I used Zbrush, Maya and Vray for the final render.

Cheeers!

Enrolled in the 10 week courses over at FXPHD, time to step up and play with the big boys and learn from the best.
The courses I picked this term are;

• MOD302 – 3D Digital Environments
• NUK204 – Intermediate Nuke
• NUK216 – NUKE and Maya: Joan of Arc Project

Hopefully all of which will give me the ability to put together a kick-ass reel, this is going to be good
