Hello everyone, I would like to share with you my last work which is the photomanipulation with self-made 3d elements. The main theme for the work is "Tomb Raider" series. Software used: 3D Studio Max, Vray, ZBrush, Photoshop, Quixel nDo2, Quixel dDo Beta, xNormal The final image: Stock image from http://jagged-eye.deviantart.com 3d models and wires: All comments and criticism are welcome Also if you have some questions about making this work feel free to ask Jan 17 13 09:47 am Link Very cool Jan 17 13 11:51 am Link Not bad. Feels a little too much like hand painted shadows on ambient occlusion, and not 'lit' enough to me. Jan 17 13 12:20 pm Link Awesome work! The only thing I could see as needing critiqued for looking off is from the stock image used, the way the gun is being held. I like the work you did in merging the 3D elements with the stock image it is very well done, without knowing what was used and seeing the piece I don't think a lot of people would be able to pick out what is rendered and what is from the photo stock.

I didn't use any 3d character model from poser or daz studio so I had to paint the character's shadows by hand on the Vray's passes I rendered. The light in the scene is 2 Vray lights (planes). Now I think I should have used one Vray sun (for more direct shadows) and second VrayLight (plane). Hope that in the next photomanipulation project the integration between photo and 3d be better - but I'm still happy with the effect I got Jan 18 13 01:14 am Link I like it, I think you pulled it off pretty well! Jan 21 13 11:55 am Link I think it is pretty impressive, but I'm not an expert... Jan 21 13 12:05 pm Link Manipulation can be done by anyone but i must congrate you for the incredible texturing. Your objects look real not plastic and this is the most difficult. Good job. Jan 23 13 11:54 am Link Good job.
