Hey Friends! I am so very pleased to announce and share this project I have been working on for the last few months! It is a short (real short) film I created all in cg! During college at UCR I studied anthropology and was always fascinated with the antiquarian Giovanni Belzoni. So to make a piece for my showreel, I decided to combine a old timey/antiquarian look with a fantastical steampunk flavor. All the props and sets in this are created by me, using my knowledge obtained at Gnomon School of Visual Effects, as well as stuff I have learned after. I created all the shots in Maya, built all the base textures in Photoshop, 3D painted in Mari, did some detail sculpting in Z-Brush and Mudbox, rendered in V-Ray, and finally composited in Nuke and titled in After Effects. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching. I will be sharing more elements from this piece later, as I was on a time crunch with my rendering ;D
