Another try on matte painting.
I´ve been wanting to use some of my older models from the parliament in Budapest and turn them into something futuristic.
I´ve had this idea for some time and finally got time to finish it up.

Started out with a 3D plate and the cathedral model which was modeled and rendered in C4D & Maxwell, and did the rest of the job in Photoshop using photos and painting.

The old abandoned Fluid X gas station.
Guess people weren´t to keen on using their high octane biohazardous fuel.

I used Cinema4D & Maxwell for the foreground structure, good old Bryce 5.5 for the city in the back (because the program handles massive polycounts with remarkable ease) & in normal order, Photoshop for the postwork.

More practice with some digital matte stuff.

The base is a 3D render containing the right side buildings as well as some of the ground. The rest is a mix of photographic elements and some painting.]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2008 22:17:30 +0000 http://rochr.cgsociety.org/gallery/568270

This past year i´ve fealt like i have been going nowhere in progress and pretty much just repeated the same old stuff, so this time i decided to try something different for a change.
I´ve done scifi landscapes before, but never made any serious attempt of matte painting. Guess this is my first.

Yep, It´s back again.

It´s been a while since my last post and apart from some work, i´ve pretty much spent most of the time away from the computer and 3D, and focused on fun stuff, such as our house and some garden planning.

Anyway, here´s a new one. Kind of a sequel to one of my previous posts, "The Village".

Modeled in C4D, rendered with Maxwell and postwork made in Photoshop.

Time for a visit in a less pleasant location. This is the lower levels of a future megacity. Definitely not a place you´ld want to visit after sunset.

Cinema4D for the models and render & Photoshop for the postwork.]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 21:25:18 +0000 http://rochr.cgsociety.org/gallery/472842

More scifi stuff.
The base for this one is a simple C4D model. I found it a few days ago cleaning my harddrive, and was actually about to throw it away, but decided to bring it into Photoshop and see if i could make some use of it.
Considering the model was a lost cause, i´m quite happy with how it turned out.

The ground is a C4D model and the rest is done in Photoshop.]]> Sun, 11 Mar 2007 02:30:35 +0000 http://rochr.cgsociety.org/gallery/450865

Ok, starting of the new year with this one. With the 1.1 release, Maxwell is finally starting to be a useful tool.
The overall look of this scene is pretty close to what i had in mind for the renderer from start.

All the modeling were done in Cinema4D and Photoshop was used for the postwork.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this one but sadly there´s no mixed medium so...

My version of the mythical city in the mountains.
The geometry for the image is built in C4D and rendered in Maxwell, however all the texturing is made afterwards in Photoshop with the help of a few photos and a lot of painting.]]> Sun, 23 Jul 2006 00:23:26 +0000 http://rochr.cgsociety.org/gallery/360316

Welcome to the laboratory of Dr Rochrstein, introducing the latest invention, the organic software renderer. Quick, and almost painless.

With all the old industrial reference shots i have stored, i decided to build a scene with an old industrial look, mixed with newer elements.

With all the cityscapes i´ve made recently, i figured it was time to visit the street levels again. Well, sort of the street levels anyway.
As usual it´s a complete slum, but it´s more fun that way.
Modeled and rendered in Cinema4D, with some neon signs, city lights and color corrections made in Photoshop.

Welcome to the suburbs of any normal future metropolis. And this time i´ve actually made a scene with people in it. Doesn´t happen to often.
Models and render in Cinema4D. Photoshop/Universe Image Creator for some postwork and color corrections.
