a short experimental work i made trying to combine a liquid shape with hairs and strong colours. I am not sure about the flare effect because it has a friendly colour compared to the bloody red, however i liked it better that way]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:28:10 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/644763

i made this advertisment for a project in school i designed the phone and modeled it in 3d max, rendered with vray and composed in photoshop, originally created for DIN A4 format 300dpi]]> Sat, 19 Jan 2008 12:22:06 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/591067

i tried to create a futuristic armchair ]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:06:40 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/617106

again a somewhat bigger work i made, i started with a simple matte painting and added deatails by importing parts of photos i think i used about 20 different free stock photos wich i found in the internet, i the end i had about 100 layers in photoshop although i already colapsed a lot during the construction process which were quite a lot for my old single core computer :(

i payed more attention to create a nice mood than trying to make it as photorealistic as possible, and i know that the composition is not the best with just one centered midground element which is also a bit too contrasty and colorful

it also was a hard decission weather to add such a strong lens flare, because it takes away some of the attraction of the island itself
however i made the image they way i imagined it from the beginning so i am quite satisfied, what do you guys think about it ?

this is a weapon designed for a contest on the gnomon workshop forum
to achieve the hard edges i needed at least 3 subdivisions for the most parts so i ended up with about 1,8 million faces
for the engery tanks i interesected light objects with refractive blurry objects

how do you like it ? ]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 11:13:10 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/648223

modeled in 3d max and rendered with vray i think they waterdrops which are spread over the entire glas do not look too good but i like the ice cubes i think the image is a little too dark but if i add a brighter background the shot loses its elegance]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:36:53 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/585912
