inspire by Tadao Ando. an interesting little project that i have always fancied doing. it was never going to stretch my capabilities but its a sweet scene nonetheless.

i made this matte plate for an in-house challenge entitled 'Worlds Tallest Structure.' on a personal note, i also wanted to create a plate that exhibited the sun setting over a cityscape.]]> Mon, 04 Jun 2007 11:30:45 +0000 http://mattmcdaid.cgsociety.org/gallery/497330

I made this composition for an inhouse matte painting challenge entitled 'Crash Site.' I have combined several photographs to achieve the cinematic plate.

The subject is a Chinook helicopter wreck on the Iraqi border.]]> Thu, 17 May 2007 19:05:32 +0000 http://mattmcdaid.cgsociety.org/gallery/419155

i wanted to create a gritty composition which conveyed some sort of emotion. The character 'Gomez' has just lost someone close to him and vengeance is now taking over.
the base mesh was modeled in Maya, details were sculpted in ZBrush and textured and rendered in 3DS Max and Mental Ray.]]> Thu, 19 Oct 2006 09:40:18 +0000 http://mattmcdaid.cgsociety.org/gallery/306908

if you havnt guessed already, this painting was inspired by the movie 'Black Hawk Down.' I love the scene where theres an entourage of black hawks flying along the somalian coast. it creates excellent anticiaption within the audience.
hope you all like it!
