[PaLantir]

Thank you all guys.
Here is the moodboard i did before start my work.
My final goal was to achieve a 3d unreal painting. I really like the reference painting so i try to simulate that kind of feeling for a possible nexgen game style.
this is the moodboard
http://features.cgsociety.org/newgallerycrits/g08/40808/40808_1247612921_large.jpg

i will probably work more on that mood because i want finis the entire scene :)

thank you

[NOTORIOUS-ro]

Well... this looks awesome but if you want to make it look as close to the image you linked I think you should work on the lighting a bit. There's more of a yellow tint to the image. The sun behind the clouds spreads an orange light. That's my 2 pennies and of course I'm saying that without knowing the Unreal3 limitations. Would love an update :thumbsup:

[boomji]

Love it :love:

[rode]

[nellement]

Brilliant!I would love to play this lvl:) :thumbsup:

[Grrrrrrr]

Love it. Great atmosphere.

[Chokmah]

Pwaaa !
Awesome !

I really love the mood you captured from a painting to a realtime environment :thumbsup:

I would to play a game with this kind of environment !

[spurcell]

looks fantastic. I'd love to see a tutorial on how this was created.

[zeme]

Loving the mood and amazing texturing work. Very inspirational as I am now trying to improve my low poly skills.
Cheers!

[Picky]

Superbly done! My knowledge in 3D is very limited but I can spot a well worthy piece when I see one. I love the modeling of the trees. I think that alone is what makes this image stand out. Of course that goes with the combination of your good lighting and texturing job as well. It really pays to have excellent reference to work with. Thumbs up! :thumbsup:

[rawgon]

Wow man! i just think this is really incredible, great job!

[Clanger]

Could you give us some insight as to how you did the trees?

[mridulsen]

Really awsome.... I love gaming works a lot & when I see works like this it inspire me more. Nice texturing there. :thumbsup:

[RedXR]

Incredible work!

[Velarion]

Impressive work of art as a level design!

[Lemura]

Great work!

[PapaNinja]

Congrats for the Award :thumbsup:

[PaLantir]

Again thank you very much for all the positive comment and i'm Honored to be part of the CG Choice Award!
Is a great pleasure.
Thank you!!

[RTjunior]

Really great work here. Nice job! :thumbsup:

[Chokmah]

Well deserved award :thumbsup:

Congrats :)

[vfx]

Nice to actually see some game enivornment stuff in here :)
Great lighting and texturing - such nice clean models too. One small thing that I think could do with more work is the grass on the right side of the image in ur first shot. I also think theres some shadowing issues with the night scene.

Nice work dude.. Hope you're enjoying Gunwharf :P

[Giiyom]

wow

really nice scene.

[nightwoodwolf]

beautiful work

[CGsavant]

Really excellent rendition of the initial concept, it feels very lonely and foreboding, almost like something out of Resident Evil 4.

[Ancient-Pig]

That looks great! Love the mood and colors :)

[GiHem]

Hi, just to say : Wowww ... and a second big one when you think it's just rendered with an Unreal Engine ! (for those who don't know, UE is a realtime 3D game engine, not a specialised renderer like VRay or Maxwell Renderer ).

[faultymoose]

Stunning! Such a great idea, to use some classical fine art as inspiration for modern digital work. Very unique look, and amazing reproduction of colour. Great job!

[Libor]

This is what I call ART!

Simply awesome!!!


You should post render using full scene antialiasing on gfx card > why not to smooth it when card can do it in realtime too...


PS: my browser scale it a bit down (smoothing edges) and I couldnt tell its "just" from Unreal engine not directly from sw renderer like mray!

Excellent job!

Libor

[cresshead]

fantastic scene, hope to see how you handled the trees and grass also.

[Hynol]

Its great image. Even if it would be rendering. And its realtime... It makes it even better I guess. Gratz. And please, share with us your future works.

[whatstrue]

hahha, dont you LOVE how the render time is like, just printscreen!!

UT3 FTW!

I was looking to doing something like this in the engine actually. What do your tree meshes look like? I've been tinkering with different ideas on how to model them, but yours look fantastic.

[CGSTEF]

The lighting is very interesting and the textures are great! for a lowres layout, this rock! congrats with front page!

[Molier]

Great work. :thumbsup:

[Ammarkk]

Fantastic work, it's really amaze me...Great job Claudio!:bowdown:

[ws6nick]

Very nice man. I've been working with unreal editor lately. How long did it take u to complete this piece?

[Kaleen]

Simply amazing...!

[MINTY1974]

Seriously cool work. The lighting in particular is beautiful. I didn't get the chance to have a look at your work the whole time I was working at Climax and now regret not doing so seeing this piece. Stunning, congrats on your front page too!

[MaskLuo]

goodbeautifull

[Ykay]

This is a very good job ! I love it

[CGartistDaily]

Hey Claudio - very nice work :thumbsup:

[PolygonButcher]

Really cool shader, model and texturing, UIII is the best realtime engine ever hehe. great job man.

[Roham]

It's like a painting.
really nice.
did you do the water reflection in Photoshop?

[Matroskin]

Awesome work, it is so much inspiring indeed :)

Vegetation is my personal favorite here lol :P

Could you post some more breakdown of trees/bushes texture/wire samples plz?

I really love how branches shape those trees.

thanks for sharing!

[StSabath]

Love the textures and lighting,thumbs up!

[Delta-CG]

The mood and scene are perfect. Awesome work Claudio.

great work
I love Game Art

[nomand]

so how much fps can you output this baby at? XD
I love how it's really close to the original painting you showed.
Any chance of having Anti ailasing on? does UT3 support that? because that would look sweet as with AA.

[yashsingh]

Awosome work dude

[simple-screen]

really great! would try to do something like this some time

[MatveyRezanov]

What a beautiful work! It’s very artistic. Very smart to use an old painting as a reference.

[Kerem]

Best real time CG landscape I've ever seen I think. Totally like a traditional art piece comes to life...

[anuneitor]

Hey that's a realy great work the greatest i've ever seen.


But. Can you explain me how do you made those great clowds there??? i thinks thats truly amazing, and if you can share with us the method used on this would be grat for me!

[Melfina195]

nice work!

[SamFisher84]

thats really awsome !

[raq007]

I really impressed with ur work.. really nice texturing and photoshop work..
good job!!

[andrejvojtas]

I have added this to my favorites, and only months later realized it's actually ingame graphics! Wow, I'm speechless it's beautiful.

[Ostreuss]

I like this style and subject very much. Groups of such trees are my dream.

Image is based upon paint of Frederic Kruseman (1817-1882). He was not 'Gothic', more 'eclectic' painter.

The windows-'gun slot' on erker are slightly large. Some quoins stick very out, but brick walls and corners are perfect flat and have no disturbance.
I'd add consoles below balcony, it is old mansion.

The absence of clear river-edge structure between ground and water gives impression of a flood.

[VanessaPridgen]

The cool shadows are my favorite part. The shadows cast on the trunks and lower branches of the trees on the left are very beautiful.

[shadowseve]

Beautiful work. Love the detail and the whole scene. Excellent!!.

[vinyii]

So beautiful, I seem to see Russian artist,Ilya Yafimovich Repin painting! Very nice!

[MrCraft]

interesting work........ :applause:

[thechosentwo]

Water are great. And composition.

[Vedanta]

very nice mood painting,, reminds me of a Flemish (Dutch) painting from the 15 th century.
Very subtle handling of color and shade.

[lora629]

Wow the color is fascinating
Great work

[aarontheanimator]

Great job with the textures!

[chouzhen]

very good !Do you have time to talk about with it .I wait your maeesege ...

[Aelirenn]

Beautiful, you really get the feeling of the mood.

[earlpantsula]

i like it, i like it, i like it, good refrencing from the painting, love the textures, love the background, i think you need to work more on that mood. nice work!

[gorillajin]

Amazing..... I am studying environment modeling right now, and your work is simply amazing. The texture, the mood, the lighting, everything is so inspiring.
Thank you for the great work.

[iART]

Hello Claudio, i love this Abandoned Villa piece. I have had this same picture on my desktop for 5 or 6 months now! That is unheard of for me. Usually i appreciate an art piece for a week or two before changing up. The colours and atmosphere are magical and warm. They seem to draw me in, as if to say, "come in, explore further". It appears impossible to tire of this artwork. I love it!

[shaiz]

Wow great feeling, loved lighting and all the environment. Congratulations! Very beautifully inspiring...

[Seehr]

Awesome texturing.....

[PaLantir]

Thanks for your comment guys. Much appreciated :)
I'm working on a new scene at the moment. I will post some update soon.

Cheers

Claudio
