Making of The Museum ‘Field Project’ by Bertrand Benoit

/2 Comments/in , , /by

I’m happy to introduce the making-of Bertrand Benoit‘s ‘The Museum’ 1st Runner Up Winner – ‘The Field Project’. Bertrand takes us through several stations in his process of making his work, starting with the concept and on with how he adds geometric and texture detail to the base model (actually – rebuilds most of it). It is great seeing how Bertrand works his way around a large-scale scene using Maxwell Render, which he previously only used for product shots or small scale single images. I hope you’ll enjoy this article, learn from it and share your thoughts by commenting at the bottom of this article’s page.

He was part of the team that created the charming animated short ‘Hooked’, and it sure hooked me! Exploring Ben’s work has led me to his CGSociety lighting challenge entry, which is the subject of this article. Enjoy!
