Fantastic work -

I really like what you’re doing with the light in these pieces… especially with the 4th image… I’m a sucker for back-lit scenes!

Beautiful stuff, man.

a good example of how mattes must not be necessarily pixel perfect if they have proper light :slight_smile: I mean the skies have obvious clones and patches, but that doesnt bother that much.

Good stuff, nice to see something new from you :slight_smile:

My computer would straight up bitch-slap me if i tried to do a 15.5k pixel matte. Awesome work, really nice atmosphere to all of them :slight_smile:

Really good work mate! actually wanted to reply earlier but got kicked out of the net right when i hit the submit button so it was all gone and I didnt really wanna write it all again :stuck_out_tongue:
Really love how you jog my imagination with these mattes; sci-fi is so rare in films nowadays; guess that’s one of the big advantages of games.
Is that scaled down matte titled ‘original was 15k panorama’ just an excerpt or was it not intended for 360° coverage? just curious as it’s not seemless at the edges.
have to work on such a massive thing at work as well these days and they’re just insaaaaaaanely time consuming, aren’t they x__x

keep up the great work man and post more stuff!

cheers,
chris
