RINGS OF POWER

In this shot, I extended the background hills and mountains beyond the cg built set. Everything was projected so that it would move and parallax and blend seamlessly with the existing set.

In matte painting the tower construction, I had 3 main tasks on this shot. I had to replace the cg ground with something more detailed and photoreal, uprez and detail out proxy renders of the screen left mountainside, and paint-over the foreground cg tower. The tower had to be broken into many pieces so I could project a painting back over it and have it move and parallax exactly as the original tower did without any textures stretching or doubling.

This final task not only included painting and projecting the distant background and sky, but also painting over the front foreground tower with more realistic higher resolution textures and grime.
