The Red Giant

[Gerets]

Hi all,
this is a rendering for Sardonic Studio's latest work, "Arrubiu, The Red Giant". Is the reconstruction hypothesis of an ancient building (XVI-XII sec. B.C.) of our island, Sardinia (Italy). Our work was to validate the archaeological thesys about the structure with the contribution of 3D technologies and produce a real time scene of the building and some photorealistic renders for the museum, a full cg trailer and a documentary.
special thx for Giorgio, Lucia, Massimo, Daniele, Andrea and all Sardonic members

Done with 3dsmax, maya, vray and vrayscatter.
original res 6400x3050

...thousand years after… begin the cultivations

I ve created one tile 3d texture and with this object I ve traced the main shape of the construction(with ffd, bend and taper)...I have made all the important particular, like openings and incomes with reference photo and with unwrap uvw.... I have moved the mappings in order to avoid the repetition of 3d the texture... this technique is called farragerets... ...eh eh... sardonic studios trademark
