Here's the final render for the scene I did for the tree/depth assignment


Concept sketches for the final environment.





ENJOY MY ART.

Tree and layered depth stuff.

I'm using my tree from last week for the depth assignment for this week. The scene doesn't have any lights at the moment because I couldn't figure out how to get a skylight to properly cast shadows with all the opacity maps all over the place. It also desperately needs fog, but that had trouble with the opacity maps too.



A few of the layers I painted for the scene:



Diffuse maps for the tree and rock:



Ideally it will look like this when finished, I hope:



Also probably needs more unicorns, heroic gentlemanly teapots with eternal flaming ice swords, and unfortunate plot twists.



En taro Tassadar.

Work from this week/last week

Here's my scene from last week. Still working on the lighting a bit.



Here's my work in progress for this week:

Here's a couple of sites that I've found interesting or helpful:

http://eat3d.com/

http://max.cgcookie.com/

http://www.mrbluesummers.com/

All of them have some excellent tutorials, many in video form. Eat3d in particular has some great interviews with game development artists.
