I found it !, Jean-Michel Bihorel (3D)

#1

Title: I found it !
Name: Jean-Michel Bihorel
Country: Turkey
Software: Maya, mental ray, Mudbox, Photoshop, ZBrush

Here is a character I’ve been working on for a wile. His name is Lumok, he is the main character of a short movie that we are working on at the moment with my team and which will take place in Istanbul. Our small alien is coming to this historical city to chase a mysterious treasure. This picture depict the moment were he finds it.I hope you’ll like it!

The plate is a photograph shot with my canon 7D. Only the character is full 3d There is a tiny bit of correction on the photo but it’s mainly strait out of the sensor. The short film will be done with live footage and integrated 3D.

Concept and realization from me

Wow, that’s incredible! :buttrock:
How did you get the sun dried tomatoes so realistic? The DoF is a nice touch too.

Do you have a clay render or wires that you could show?

Great stuff :applause:

Thanks, I’m sorry but I forgot to mention that only the character is cg, the plate is a photograph shot with my canon 7D. There is a tiny bit of correction on the photo but it’s mainly strait out of the sensor. The short film will be on live footage with integrated 3D. I will try to edit the main post to precise that.

I was about to ask actually because I couldn’t quite make out of the dreid tomatoes were CG or not :slight_smile:

Still very nice work!

It’s a very nice high detail character and it’s integrated very well on the plate.
Great job.
Looking forward to see the animation.

It looks good, Jean-Michel. Modeling, texturing, shading and rendering are so nice.
I’m looking forward to your next step. Keep going.

#8

Nice work :thumbsup:

I particularly like the way you’ve done the eyes.

Great textures too - keep it up.

#9

Really nice render, the character looks great!

#10

Good one. It would be better if you had some rim light capturing the shape of the character.

#11

Thanks for your comments. I’m glad you like it.
For the rim light I thought of it also but after testing I thought it was not completely justified with a background like this so I went for something softer. I might give another try.
Cheers!

Hi J.Michel, congratulations for this great image.
The way of character integrate into photo is quite realistic.
Also the main thing that comes out of this still image is the short movie will be definitely great.

Cheers!
