To summarise, my process consisted of a brief analysis including defining the story, mood, composition, lighting and camera angle. Hand in hand with this comes an inspirational/ research phase, followed by creating the basic set up in Max. Once I have my 4 building stones in place; brief (including story, mood etc), camera angle, lighting and materials/colours my refining phase starts. I enjoy this the most, a part from creating the story. Props and some more refining follow this and then final render and post. Through out this process I do a lot of low res tests, but mainly I use the interactive. I do some minor final post but that usually don’t take more than 15 min as I like to have most work done in 3D and just tweaking in Photoshop..

Though out the project I’ve posted a few posts prior to this explaining more in detail and last thing I mentioned there was that I started the final process a bit early as I always like a buffer.. The final process went smooth and I then had time to spend on putting my final pdf submission together, I’ve never used tinypng or JPEGmini before but I it was very smooth.

Read more about my process, brief analysis and what happened on the way creating this image in my final PDF submission. Its been fun! Thanks
