Title: Wire Tree
Name: Alex Cartwright
Country: United Kingdom
Software: Maya, mental ray, Photoshop

I've recently started learning Maya, this is my first project using it and is something that popped into my head one night while I was drifting off to sleep.

It's a Wire Tree made out of twisted together pieces of wire on a random floating piece of earth with roots sticking out the bottom.

There was a lot of Photoshop work afterwards such as the entire background and some color correction. Rendered in Mental Ray.

Great image. I love the concept and the mode the image gives. If I had to pick on one thing I would say that the grass looks to flat. Other than that, great work.

Thanks edcorusa, yeah I agree about the grass. I was going to do it with PaintFX, but then shortly found out PaintFX don't render with Mental Ray >< So instead I just used displacement map, which wasn't really the best thing.
