Hi everybody,

I just wanted to share my last personal work i did for my diploma. I made a 80 sec spot about the issue of global warming. I had to make a lot of projection paintings. So here are some of those and concept art i made for that spot. the working resolution was 4k to get at the end a 1080p master.
It is a lot of stuff, so please feel free to scroll down :)
Enjoy.

Well done, indeed
It's almost monochrome yet apealing.
It does not look that good in the painting level, but after compositing it's just amazing.
Any tip in the compositing parts?

Hi,
as i had the rough 3d geometry i rendered a lot of passes:
-light pass
-ambient occlusion pass
-xyz shader for depth channels
-outline shader (for blur to sharp 3d edges if needed in the comp)
-multible Fluid Fog and cloud layers
-particles

I hope this will help ;)
