Egyptian Tomb – 3D Hallway

In order to create a large model in a small amount of time, I used displacement maps on simple, low-poly models to give the illusion of a more complex geometry. I reused textures and models interchangeably to stretch my art a little further.

Cathedral Turntable with Composed Music

3D Building Cathedral by: Marc Zirin

The cathedral has been put onto a turntable to show off every angle of the building. I composed some music to go along with the scene. Since this is a low poly game model relying mostly on the textures and lights, the rendering went very quickly. I was able to render out the five passes each consisting of 500 images in less than two days. Four of the passes were done in one hour. It was the ambient occlusion that took a full day to…
