Title: Kane And Lynch
Name: Balazs Kiss
Country: Denmark
Software: mental ray, Photoshop, XSI, ZBrush

I used photographic elements when I started this image, only the the heads and the background are 3D, the suits are modified images I shot before.Also, the hands, I added the pushblade and the blood later in PS/XSI.
I made a matte painting for the dead bodies, instead of making them in 3D..
On the early version of this image Lynch ( dude on the right ) was also angry, here is a test I made when I started(below)

Hi dude!

Nice one...I think you should pay more attention to details next time :D (just kidding)
I like the lighting and the look of the hair. Expressions are talking for themselfs....
Good work!

Great job man, looks like it's going to be an intense game! The only thing that looks off is Kane's collar, it's very hot! Other than then it's very well done.

Take care

very cool i saw this image 2-3 weeks ago just amazing with the mix of 3d and 2d 5 stars by far.

As it has all ready been raised the only crit i have is the collar is way to bright stands out alittle to much, keep it up cant wait to see more of your work.

Hey Balazs!

Very nice job on this one! You have such an eye for lighting it's stunning.
I love it.
Could you tell me if you achieved the hair with XSI hair as well or was it painted? My guess is that it is 50-50! ;)

Keep doing amazing images like that and I can't wait to play the game either! It looks completly demential! :)

Is the hair a photo comped on top? Hand painted maybe? Or... *gulp*.... 3d?

Great work Balazs!

people are asking and guessing in mails about the layers, so here are the details :
top left : constant material with the diffuse texture
top rigt : lambert with diffuse and image based light
mid left : sss, done with an old shader called diffusion, written by the almighty bigmuh
mid right : reflection
bottom left : cook/torrance specular
bottom right : all together...

about the hair : it has 3D elements ( especially on the beard, planes+transparent textures ) and the long hair ( xsi hair+(more)photoshop ).
Kane's hair is based on photos, cutting them together in PS, and fixing areas where it didn't matched the lights, or the shape of the head.It was way faster than doing the whole thing in 3D...

Very cool. Truly, amazing piece of art in 2D, 3D and the final integration of both.
Emotionally, very powerful. Do you really need photos to start? Anyway, a great picture.

Oh, sorry. I found something, that bothers me: The left suit gets intense light from the left. But the colum behind dosen't.

However you made this, it looks awesome .. wow :bounce:

I have a small question, why you've taken the shot from this angle? the column is preventing from showing the nice detailed hall ..

Sorry, i can only give you 5 stars.

Awesome picture! You did a great job.
The only thing that bodders me a little is that big colum right behind the two guys. I think that the foreground is a little heavy with it.

Hope to see a making of in the future.

Congratulations! This is excellent!

Very attractive image. I do have one critique that I would offer. THe bodies on the ground are less impacted by the atmosphere then the foreground figures and column. This seems to draw unneeded attention to them since they appear higher in contrast then the foreground figures and column.. it also goes against what one might logically expect- that items in the distance would be more impacted by the atmosphere as items farther away tend to have more atmosphere in front of them (thats why when in a fog you can see clearly the items in front of you- but items farther away become out of sight). I'm kind of getting the feeling you wanted the thicker atmosphere to be higher in the image- like God Rays- but I'm not sure if it works with the ground figures. Its an impressive image and deserves the attention its getting.

Lovely stuff!
The lack of field depth (air dust) in the background kind of hurts the eyes, at the same time to blur out those details would be a shame.

great feel :thumbsup:

Hi,
Great work and thanks for showing us the seperate passes, I`ve always been interested in how you go about compositing these passes together. Can you point me to any tutorials on this approach or maybe give away any tips on how you blend them together.

Cheers

I'm curious how do you mix those layers? I've tryed alot of ways to mix them in photoshop but the result is not the same as final mix (bottom right). Are you using layer masks or color corections or just place tha layers on top of each other with some special modes? Can you post a psd or just explain how this is done?
Thank you and keep the good work.
