B2


year: 2006
project type: personal project (rendering lighting compositing test)
software: Maya Mental Ray Photoshop, Shake
my contribution: Texturing, shading, lighting and compositing (3d model by Kanaan)
The B2 is one of my favourite military plane, ti looks cool.
I was inspirited by is unique shape. The little test is made of 2 shots. The first one is fully CGI, in the second shot only the plane is 3D the background is a colour corrected plate.

Up here 2 frames from the second shot (no HDRI no FG no GI this time I was too lazy :)
I created the parallax effect in the background plate using shake. I made a black and white ramp to control the amount of translation. So the top area is moving faster the the bottom creating the illusion of a 3d environment.
