Old Swamp Bait Shop

Progg · 01-04-2010, 03:39 PM

I wanted to explore doing a more stylized environment, and to venture away from photo-sourcing textures to try a hand painted style. To be honest, I don't know what inspired the Bait Shop but it grew on me the more I worked on it. The project was intended to strengthen my game portfolio, as I am a recent graduate and searching for a job. Thus I restricted my polycount to 24,000 triangles.

Created in Maya 8, rendered in Mental Ray. (Photoshop for Textures)

Thanks in advance for any comments.

I really like the feeling of this piece. What software did you use to make it and render it?

Forgot to mention that... I'll update. It is Maya 8 and Mental Ray.

Nicely done. I'm about to graduate myself, though I'm a max dude and not so much maya. Great job on the lighting. Love the scene.
