Sunrise Over the Empire - 3d scene

[Vinny Testaverde]

---

3dsmax 6 - sky, boats, flora, etc added in photoshop

This was for a school project... Thanks to Thomas Cole (19th century landscape painter) for the inspiration

I am not happy with it, I will do another one with a different camera angle and position and time of day, but this shot of it is done I guess...

Let me know if you have some ideas as to how to change the perspective etc, your ideas will help alot...

... maybe some day this would make a sick game level :wink:

nice, i think the biggest problem is that the bridge is perfect, the curves are exacty rounded, it just looks fake. that and everything that's tan is exactly the same color

btw, where do you go to school?

I see what you mean, the bridge will need to be re-done

It was an academic scholarship and if I maintain over 3.0 they pay half my tuition

The lighting is maybe a bit dark for outdoor (but it's can be my screen here at uni) and the mountains on the far left seem too soft on their geometry. But yeah, really cool work

I love it, great stuff

It looks nice. But i dont like the lighting/colors. There is so much greytones in the light. It needs some warm yellowish shining highlights.

im watching rome: engineering an empire on the history channel and its rel cool, would be grat for inspiration. it would be real neat if you built an aqueduct off in the distance

The thing that I like most is like the lighting but... Where are the people?

Cool stuff, i'd really like to know what's behind all these cool lightings since i'm modeling my own room, well.. at least i try. Anyway nice job, few places looks somehow too clean or linear, dunno.
