ILLUSTRATION AND RENDERING

Clusters and Hybrids

Experimentation of compositions using both digital and analogue skills. This project includes advanced digital modeling techniques, rendering, and Photoshop using collages to construct larger ‘clusters’ and ‘hybrids’ of objects and environments. These collaged compositions include settings (i.e. urban or landscapes). The programs used are: Maya, Blender, Houdini, and Photoshop. Using Photoshop collages (images, advanced digital modeling, and renderings) to construct Systems and dense Landscapes. The work focuses on narratives and concepts, technical and material specificity, geometries, systems, and environmental realities (light, texture, depth of space and atmosphere) as hybrid, layered, and dynamic compositions.

This image’s narrative is a physical manifestation of a polluted city. The atmospheric pollution creates monstrous like forms and objects that resurfaces from the earth. “Maya 2018” was used for modelling and rendering the texture on the diagonal objects and “Blender” was used for creating the landscape. Both were collaged along with the polluted atmospheric images in Photoshop to create the final output.

This project’s narrative is creating a galaxy made with earthly materials that are used in an urban city. Hence, the planets are made by glass cylinders wrapped in a concrete interconnected form. While the galaxy seems to be made of aluminum fiber strings with a hybrid of an enclosed structure made of steel.

“Houdini” was used for modelling the landscape and the objects, then collaged with galaxy atmospheric images in “Photoshop” to create a Galaxy City imagery.
