Title: Discovering Alexandria
Name: Cyril Taussat
Country: France
Software: 3ds max, Photoshop, VRay

This is my final render for the CG TALK EON CHALLENGE.
After long weeks to work, this entry is done and It's my first done on a cg challenge. After two unsuccessfull attempt for "Spectacular" and "a journey begins", this one is finish.

About the Final Still :
I've work on a 3K final version. All modeling was made on 3d studio max, with Vray render. Final scene count more of 4billions polys, after optimisation.
Here you can find the HD version: http://swedweblog.jexiste.fr/ftp/DISCOVERING.jpg

Background Story of this one is about the first time Patricia sees the Alexandria city in the 2nd chamber. Lanier offer her to see the city of Alexandria by herself, and discovering the main building, the center of her firsts discoveries, the library.
She discover and unhuman size city, with building about 4km length, completly incredible.
I've try to retranscribe the greatness of this city, like i've imagine her in reading the book.
I'm conscient, i've take some liberties from the original concept.

This entry in 3d model section need a 4-8 sec animation. I've made a kind of making of, because i've met some obstacle from my start idea. (not used to make animation)
It is a 48sec version, with audio track.

I have a sweet tooth for Sci-Fi scenes.. can't help it.

However, I think you have over-used the blur a bit. It destroys
some of the feeling in the picture.


Keep it up. :)

I really, really like this picture. It's mood, colors.

Especially I like contrast between huge buildings on far plane and den of the char on front.

Nice pic

Great colours and sense of atmosphere. Nice architecture in the background too.

Best of luck with your character stuff - it certainly looks like you have the skills to pull it off!
