Postworked vs raw rendering.

Who is Eva ?
Eva is a poly/nurbs mesh with three different eye shaders : blinn, ramp and phong shader.

How i made Eva's eyes ?
I rendered Eva's facial mapping with eyes painted on it, then i cropped the eyes and assigned the texture to the eyeballs and mapped them to suit 2d mapping and 3d geometry.
Three shaders were necessary to make the eyes looking like painted version.

Here is a tribute to my great friend Steven Hagg-Stahlberg, you can visit his inspiring portfolio here : http://stahlberg.cgsociety.org/gallery/
This dude is so talented that i wanted to create a scene with most of what he likes : cybergirl, bike, action and colors.

I hope you like it.

Here is my last scene in the shades.
I've played with reflections to multiply views on action.
Everything done with maya and rendered through mental ray in single pass, without indirect lighting, using hair system, particles, dielectric/dgs/mia/misss/phong shaders, two lightpoints with one directional and one spotlight.

No postwork.

speed modeling big city, less than one day to make it.

step 1 : use a satellite shot of any big city.
step 2 : outline the city blocks with curves.
step 3 : extrude the curves.
step 4 : (only for overview shot), project your blocks curve on a plane and use the trim tool to make the roofs.
step 5 : displace/bump your frontages with architectural shots.

Altered cloning of "Madeleine repentante" by de la Tour

watch last frame (cropped) of the animation :
http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/7730/theauthorofthispaintingld4.jpg

here is a sum up of my method for this work :
i spent maybe 1 full week to do it adding one by one each hours, 70 hours or something like that excepting time spent for fixing animation troubles...
nurbs modeling and painting took me 80% of time. quite simple lighting : one spotlight and one directional light, almost no postwork excepting contrast fixing, a lot of prework to cook textures.
this a whole nurbs scene, i outlined the original painting and then extruded and worked on each curves.
to generate madeleine's shape, without any front view, i had to guess body's shapes reporting it to 'real proportions'..
then i painted the whole part with brushes and textures (from original painting cooked in photoshop).
everything burnt (broken shading), each time i tried to make her move her body.. when i animated hand and arm, feet and legs were uncorrectly reacting because of unappropriated skinning.. so then i decided to make a minimalist animation
(reducing broken shaders and proportions) : she nears her hand to the candle and takes fire.
madeleine's skinning gave me headache.. so right hand isn't perfect and small feet disturb global perception.
i rendered the front view (actually the side view) instead of perspective view with maya renderer.
i certainly will be back on it one of these days.
