Chateau de Pierrefonds STAGE001

The ending video of my thesis project. One and a half year of work, more than one hundred model saved, plus than 5500 objects modeled and textured. One big crack of one of my hard disks.
Update in future...

chapel

this is the final render of the chapel of the castel. it tooks a lot of time on my notebook (a.k.a. Ted)
the master desktop just arrived in the afternoon. i hope it will works till the end...

W. T. E. : worst thing ever

The Legen - wait for it - dary Hat Of Awesomeness

this are the instructions about "How to build the Legendary Hat of Awesomeness" for my thesis day

thumbnailing

some thumbnail for the final renders

intermediate renders

here are some renders for the tesis.

final renders

These are 3 wrong mapped renders of the ancient version of the castle. Some walls and paths are missing, I'll fix them as soon as I can.
These renders are for the writed part of the thesis, so they look like videogames fortress...

Texturing ended

finally i finished the texturing of the whole castle. more than 5000 objects mapped....

here is the full size mov (16mb)

Interior finally finished

Texturing so long

continuing on texturing. But now i began to make some sets in Fusion for the final animation. I prepared some nodes like color match, highlight glows, vignetting...to apply at the various shots.

Textured

two renders with correct textures.
the second is a reduction from a bigger render: 3500x2000 done in mental ray in 37 minutes, final gather and beauty pass. the smallest is 1024x576, the final resolution for the animation, and it was rendered in about 1:47. both compositing of ambient occlusion and color correction in photoshop

First animtion test

this is the actual state of the model. the interior part is done but i hide it for quick animation test. the renderer changed to mental ray, faster than vray in many cases.
at this link an high res mov (40mb)
