Happy Hunting!

Just a heads up to everyone, I've gotten a few emails so far but no one has gotten it. (ps, that's your first clue)Happy Hunting!

My good buddy Jayson Miller helped me out in understanding the basics of 3D and rendering on this one. If only there was some way I could immortalize his soul...

Time for another Matte piece! Uploaded this at full 1920x1080 HD quality so feel free to use it as a wallpaper if you likeI made this for the CGSociety.org monthly matte painting challenge that wrapped up last week. For more info on the prompt you can check out the official thread here: forums.cgsociety.org/showthrea… I learned a lot on this piece. Still a few areas that could have been addressed but overall it was a great experience. Really trying to dig deep on these and push them as far as I can. This was the first time I'd ever incorporated a fully rendered, hard-surface, 3D model for my work before. Huge thank you to Jayson Miller and his Gumroad video that pushed me to create this castle using MODO. I highly recommend checking it out if you're looking to get started with basic block modeling: gumroad.com/jaysonmiller If you're interested in some of the process that went into this piece feel free to check out my thread over on CGSociety: forums.cgsociety.org/showthrea… Big thanks to the judges David Luong,everyone that provided feedback for me along the way.
