'Alone' is a hip hop music album talking about chaos and corruption in Egypt.
The artist wanted himself sitting in a gravelike hole and somebody not visible watching from above, so this was my interpretation. characters are live and the background is cg.
modeled in 3dsmax and zbrush, textured in photoshop and bodypaint,matched images to cg in photoshop and aftereffects, rendered in vray.
first i matched the camera to the photo, made the hole, and since its a still, i created a rough model for the character to recieve and cast light/shadow.

Always loved photos of tigers looking at camera, so I decided to create one. this one started small with the head when I thought i better make part of the body then decided to make an enviroment for it.
Scene made in 3ds max, fur with Ornatrix, rendered with max's native scaneline renderer and Photoshop for compositing and color correction.
The scene had a large hair count so using advanced rendering would have caused memory problems, only blinn shaders were used and 11 spotlights to light the scene. Enjoyed this one a lot and hope you like it, c&cs are welcomed!

This is a head sculpture I just did. Its no ones head, just made it up while modeling. Used Zbrush, imported the full mesh into 3ds max and rendered with Brazil.]]> Sat, 25 Nov 2006 19:47:42 +0000 http://mahmoudcg.cgsociety.org/gallery/342034

A holy library of ancient arabian holy books and documents, hand documented with ink feathers on leather sheets and handmade books
tried to achieve a warm, ancient and silent look with the impression that this is someone's place who spends time here frequently for reading and documenting
tried to give the scene a spirital feel with lighting
