Matte Painting #2 The Cathedral

For this assignment we were given the challenge of adding all of these other pictures to the cathedral image as well as a set of brushes that were mostly grassy and mossy in nature. So I got the idea that I didnt want anything destroyed but over grown like in a state of just growth.

Matte Painting #1

On this assignment I had a lot of fun working on mostly everything. After I was just about finished I wanted to put this sort of faux TV frame around it to sort contain the action visually. All in all I'm pretty happy with my end result.

Matte Painting 2: Adding FX

For this assignment we are adding meteors crashing down on the city. We began with smoke trails in class and a breaking the building demo and were to break a couple more and leave a hole in the blue building as well as shattering glass from all of the madness.

Matte Painting Exercise Step 1: Combine the 3 photos.

The last image is a combination of the 3 images.

Side Project

Using some of the techniques I learned in class and the custom brushes I turned myself into a zombie in anticpation for The Walking Dead season finale.

Blending Colors

For this exercise we had to blend two colors together. Mines were the blends on the right for the rectangle and the sphere.

Texturing

For this assignment we had to understand the texturing process with a wall. There is a diffused map, a spectral map, normal map and I added a painted version of the wall as well.

Texture assignment

For this assignment I chose 5 textures to pattern a brush with skin in mind. I demonstrated each of the 5 in the following pictures.

5 adjustment layers, 5 blending modes, 2-3 layer styles

The first 6 were the images and the final one was my completed project. We had to have 5 adjustment layers and 5 blending modes and 2-3 layer effects.

Quick Masking

For this one I saw a picture of a forest I liked and well I wanted to challenge myself with this project and I decided to cut the trees up into 5 sections as per our project criteria.
