3D Artist Final Project: No Man's Land

Rethay

Hi,

I am currently following a course for 3D Artist and i am now working on my final project.

The idea is to make something like this.

But set during World War 1. A Lee Enfield rifle with a british Brodie helmet on top of it and in the background debris, barbed wire, some trees, dust, fog,... And then make the camera move sideways slowly.

I will post my progress and would love to have some feedback from you guys.

Hiya! Nice and simple scene so you should get a lot out of it, it is all going to be about the atmosphere in this piece though.
looking forward to see the blockout and implementation of atmosphere.

Which programs are you going to use?

Good luck!

I am going to use 3DS Max , Photoshop and also After Effects in the end.

Ok, so i made a quick landscape, added some water and put a placeholder for the gun in there. I also made the camera animation that i want to use.
So the camera wil move sideways to the right slowly until it reaches the rifle. I also found a plugin (DebrisMaker 2) that creates gravel, shrapnel, logs, planks,... that i can use to spread across the area, that wil propably be the most work to realy get that feeling of a completely devastaded landscape. 

This is just a placeholder for the rifle, i want to make the camera stop as soon as the rifle is in sight. 

I've already started drawing the gun, this is how far i am right now.

Today i continued working on the rifle. I also made some changes on the rifle because the one i was moddeling was used after ww1 so to be historicaly correct i changed it.

The rifle, bayonet, helmet and dog tags are done. Bayonet needs to look a bit more weathered i think.
