I posted a link a while back to a CG video that completely blew my mind. Well, it turns out that was a work-in-progress of a short film.

Here's the whole thing:

It's by a guy named Alex Roman... what I would give to have those skills!
:applause:

My goodness....

I wonder how long that took him to make? He must either be at a huge university with a department that can handle this, or he has a huge business and he was not active on a project for a while.


Thats amazing...

Thanks for the heads up DJSCOO,

Here's an interview with him:

He uses 3DS Max and Vray for renders, and Photoshop for textures.:ernae:

Outstanding.
Only thing that broke it for me, very briefly, was the windmills.
To my eye, I could tell the size was off.
But that's from living so close to a windmill farm unfortunately.
Superb piece of work.

I know what you mean...They looked like miniature models.

It looks like a private venture from the video description.

And it can be done on a home computer, even if you need to let it render away for a few days.

Texture mapping is a give away too, sometimes: some unwanted tiling in places. But that's splitting hairs. The guy's inches away from perfection.

IMO he should have kept it shorter...

I liked it..but how many abstract split focus shots can one take....?

His shooting style and subject matter was real nice though..

I saw it late last night, and actually all but fell asleep watching it towards the end...LOL
