Next I plan on painting a realistic texture in photoshop, hopefully it will look something like this

IT LIVES! Project Pipeline 5/4

Here is the tiger with it's normal maps from mudbox!

more progress on the beach matte painting. I think I would like to add a mystical or sci fi aspect to it, as well as creating more depth.

Here are the layers all together for my motion composite. The trees are the only photographs I painted all of the rest. I like the lighting effect it has. The next step is to bring it into After Effects

So here is the plan/goal for this week.

I would like to finish up this matte painting of a beach I started

Next I would like to take some photos in after effects and create "motion" by moving the different planes at different speeds. Ideally I would like the tree image to move the most and the background sunset to move the least.

And finally I will be using the Image Projection Mapping tutorial to fake the 3 Dimensionality of the Brooklyn Bridge

I was having some trouble trying to define the muscles in MudBox, but once I stopped treating it like a computerized object, and began working with it the same way I did when I used actual clay to sculpt, it became much easier.

Here is a study done on tiger muscle indentations, and bulged out areas. I took red and outlined the areas in two different images so they could be easily identified. I also used statues because the muscular nature is more exaggerated.

fleshed out version of the tiger! I used mudbox for sculpting and various anatomy pictures to get the muscle structure correct

more progress! I've added to the under painting, I've had to combine a lot of layers for space and sanity.

This doesn't look too different, but I completely moved the vertices around to give it more flow

I've been trying a little digital painting. My goal is to make a semi-realistic self portrait using the painting tools in photoshop. So far I have a detailed under painting. Here is the progress!

Just tried a little matte painting, I wanted to create ruins on a cliff over-looking the ocean. I'm going to work on :
- adding fog, - fixing cliff edges, -fixing God rays, - maybe adding some smaller details, a few trees and a ship perhaps? This is only 20 layers, so there's room for more!

roughed out 3d model of the Tiger!

EDW March 22

Today I worked on compositing a 3d tree into a photo, here is my original photo courtesy of freefoto.com

Here is the finsihed product. I added a 3D paint effects tree and tried to change the environment slightly by adding a different skyline and cloud cover. Not too bad for my first one
