The Illusionist knows your Fortune

Hi guys,
this work was done working with SAIZEN, a new team of artists, both 3D and 2D that work especially for animated layout for websites.
Here you can see the preview of the site. I don't link the site because is still under costruction. I made all the 3D stills and the animation, using XSI, Mental Ray, Zbrush and Photoshop; Davide Bianca ( http://www.hentsix.com/ ) made all the post production work using After Effects and Photoshop. I'll post the lik to the website as soon as ready. I hope you are enjoying it so far...

Wow, well everything looks absolutey stunning, beautifully textured and the modelling is spot on, and the lighting and rendering looks awesome. My only single and tiny tiny problem is with the hair, it just looks wrong, it needs some attention, maybe in post or something, you need to blend the hair line into the scalp naturally as it is with real hair. and the moment it's appearing like a grey/white wig, and it's not doing your scene justice. You can tell obviously that you are an excellent modeller and that your texturing is amazing. So it just needs that little alteration with the hair, and you'll have a beautiful 3D artworked scene.

Well done with the work so far, definately 4 stars from me, sort out the hair and you'll get 5 stars without a doubt :)

As for the website, it's seriously cool, the layout and design is dark and stylish and the animation is very well thought out. I really love the mood in the site.

Kind Regards

men really great job but your colors of the post production are not good to me
and you have i think too much saturation
but thats a matter of taste i like few saturation and not pink offcourse at all

thx guys, we were not looking for photorealism...we wanted to create a situation with a precise mood and stylization.
yeah I know about hair, infact in the animation they are 2D blended and I didn't use the xsi hair because of the render time.

thx again for comment :)

It doesn't seem to be working right. He deals some cards and then... nothing happens.
