Vessel Final

/in , , , , , /by

Inspired by Viking vessels and Swedish archipelago.

The wood cladding of the building reminds me of viking vessels. The issue was how to show the connection between the building, which is obviously standing on shore, and the vessel. My research brought me to the Swedish archipelago, which, in my opinion, perfectly fits my idea.

The biggest challenge for me was modeling and texturing archipelago rocks. It was not easy, I learned new techniques and immediately implemented them to my workflow. I used Zbrush for modeling landscape and textured everything inside of 3dsmax through Bercon Noise.

Thanks Ronen and Tomorrow for providing such a great challenge!

Dandelion

I imagined Magic Hour.
It expresses the time to connect to the future with light light consisting of sunlight and the main dandelion.
I showed direction in architectural dandelion in dandelion and highlighted the building with light.
Depth of field It was my problem to get through the building by making light and time.
The color was difficult to determine.

The last part was post-production. I wanted to use the rest of the time available to play with Photoshop as long as I could, giving me many option of moods to choose in the end. I tried to add snow falling with After Effects, put it in differents times of the day, add sun rays,stars, fog, etc. So I could have many ideas to help me choose a final look.

In the end the most difficult part for me was to organize my thoughts with all the time available. Since I could only work on the weekends, sometimes when I returned to this project I would forget where I had stopped after a full week of other works. I could had finish this earlier, but I wanted to use the most of the given time, to be sure I liked the result, is not everyday someone gives you such a long time to work, and when they do I understand they want you to enjoy it all.

If I would do this challange again i would try a completely different mood/setting, just for the fun of it.
