NOTRE DAME Leonardo Evangelisti

December 2020 - January 2021

This is my final term exercise for Think Tank Training Centre - Online, Foundation Term.
Goal of the exercise was to transform a 2D concept art into a 3D render, and make it alive. 
I chose " Chateau Noir" concept art, Thomas Dubois  https://thomas_dubois.artstation.com/ 

Softwares: Maya, Mudbox, V-Ray, Photoshop, ies_gen3

It was my first big experience in CG. I'm a colorblind person, I know for sure that something isn't as correct as I would want. Lookdev and comp were so difficult to me and stressed me so much. I am proud though of the result: because when I see it, I see all the efford I put into it! Feel free to share comments, opinions, it is always a pleasure sharing this passion with others.

How I did it

Week 7 - Final render

Journey's end! I finished maybe a week before, at around week 6, but used all days in order to be more precise.

Week 7 - Comparison

Sourceimage: Chateau Noir, Thomas Dubois

Week 5/6 - Texturing and Comp

I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Started texturing and comp at the same time. Tones are there, now I need to turn them more similar to the ones of the concept.

Week 3/4 - Lighting and Volumes

Because of the mood of the sourceimage, a lot of things behind the fog aren't seen deeply. I began the lighting phase before because I needed to understand which were the objects that I should have put more efford into.

Week 1/2 - Rough model

Project begins! This couple of weeks has been dedicated to fit perspective and shape all the objects inside the scene.
