2D / 3D Artwork

Digital Painting projected in 3D (Camera-Mapping) and Matte-Painting

Photoshop / 3dsMax / Arnold / Nuke

The goal of this artwork was to experiment the mix between 2D and 3D on a still image before diving into a larger animated production – my short-film Sang-Froid.

> Can we merge and enhance a heavily stylized painting with CG elements (Shading, Lighting, Compositing), and how ?

> What are the constraints, the limits ?

This artwork helped to push the constraints of that technique, and discover some solutions to effectively mix 3D and heavily stylized matte-painting together.
