Title: Kingdom
Name: Rudolf Herczog
Country: Sweden
Software: CINEMA 4D, Maxwell Render, Photoshop

A remake of an older scene, much prettier this time. :)

The main structure was modeled in Cinema4D & rendered out with Maxwell. Photos/painting for the landscape, and Photoshop to piece it all together.

Love it Rudy! Another wonderful example of how you can weave a number of different techniques seamlessly together. The slightly alien-feeling archiutecture really gives a sense of otherworldy place and history to this (and The Cathedral, now that I think of it).

Great stuff mate!

Intriguing. I love it. I always struggle with buildings and landscapes. This is very nicely done. I wish this viewing plane was bigger so that I can see more of the details, but these posts won't let us. Great job.

Thanks everyone. :)

which software did you use to create the clouds
The clouds are made up of a bunch of photos.

Is the whole 'foreground' rivers area painted? Could you show us some breakdowns?
The surroundings are pretty much a mix of two smaller photo segments and some custom brushes. I´ld be happy to show some breakdowns if i had any. I usually bake the layers as i finish up a scene.
