Hi #hive , Going back to the middle ages with this render, A CGI design based on my friends Maha artwork, The modeling work toke most of the time as the details in this scene was a bit heavy so here we go :)
I started my artwork with a night warm cosy feel, Using old fire lights to keep everyone warm during the cold nights
A fresh early morning style, With a directional sun light coming from the side, With mental ray I used the physical sun and sky for a physical day time look, Usually if you are not familiar with mental ray lighting or shading i do recommend using the physical sun and sky lighting to get a nice day time lighting, All you will need to do is rotate the sun light to define which hour of the day you need.
- Model
The modeling part was a bit difficult, Keeping details and make things look old toke the most part, Building the wood blanks and make them look organic / real toke the most part, Whole polygons used in this artwork was around 5356 object.
- Design Sketch
My friend Maha was a big fan of ( How To Train Your Dragon ) movie when it first came out, And since she was a sketch up design artist back when i used to work in RGH studios in Jordan, We decided to create a Collab artwork, So the idea was to mix between Medieval era and how to train your dragon art style
