The Tomb

     Hey everyone, this is a quick update as to what I am working on. My original 3d tomb model was done using 3d Studio Max about 4 years ago. Since the scene itself is relatively simplistic regarding modeling and lighting, I decided to re-do this scene using a new package I have been taken by, named Modo. I am curious to see just how different this final scene will appear, now that I know so much more about rendering, lighting, camera settings, etc. Should be fun!

Here's a very early look at the modeling progress, nothing terribly spectacular yet, just a setup that mimics the original camera angel of my tomb illustration.

Enjoy!

     Here is an update on the scene, I haven't had much time to work on the environment as a whole, but here's a pic of one of the pedistals.

     Just posting an quick preview of the next piece of the scene, the door walkway.

The art direction I took with the stonework will likely require a re-do of the pedistals.  While the pedistals were really fun to chip away and wear down, as seen in the previous update, the condition of the stone isn't in keeping with actual Egyptian tombs.  The stone simply doesn't decay like that, we'll see!

That will have to be an update for a later time, here's the walkway stone frame.
