Well this i recognise from your page i beleive,and am even more impressed that it's a re-created scene from life,and done in only 35 hours, awesome..great work on the flora as always,should have mentioned that b 4 when i commented on the church...started a small collection of people, but you never really said...2D or 3D?,if 2D how do they move?...

I'm floored by the cabin, utterly floored. And it appears that you have snipped out people from a photgraph? Is that correct?

the people are all 2d images with alpha channeled transparency maps to get rid of the edges.... so my scenes usually have a bunch of flat panels scattered around that have the people on them... the ones that move are series of 2d images of people walking, or standing around and moving in place.... typically they are about 180-240 frames roughly. One of the series is of an Elvis Impersonator doing the Elvis jig. I made some of the images in my library (particularly black people that I needed but could not find in the stock libraries you can buy). But by far the majority is purchased. I have bought just about every "2d people" library I can find except one that was of street walkers and pimps or something. I lot of them are from the Image Cells product line. The trick is in looking through my collection to find ones that might work with the lighting conditions in the scene and also have the right attire. While the scene is recreated from life, so to speak, I didn't have any photographs of the site.... all I had were CAD files of the building and site, and I knew where it was in Colorado. They told me the mountains in the background were Crested Butte. So, I went on the net and did a bunch of research looking at photos from the area for half a day. Then I went to my image library and started cutting and cropping until I had similar "stuff" for the background. Once I got my building and site rendered, I came back and added a bunch more plant materials in Paint Shop Pro. If I had it to do over, I would probably have taken the time to make a bump map for the stone because it looks "mapped" to flat planes in some areas.

A little large for a "cabin", isn't it? Still incredible work--nicely, NICELY, done integrating all of the components together.

Maybe it's Bill Gate's cabin. Hehe. Seriously though, incredible work. Most impressive...

Wow! Very nice work.

works for me :) great job

The mountains should be a little more focused in sync with the sky. Other than that.. Aresome work!!

The kind of cabin I'd like! Super job!

WOW!!! Very impressive image. One of the best architectual visualisations I've ever seen. You deserve top marks and an AOM for this stadard of work.

Thanks..... I'm afraid I don't know what an AOM is though.

Just saw this for the first time...sorry for being so late :) I really enjoy seeing it...amazing work. Oh! AOM stands for Artist of the Month...which I agree you're well deserving.

Just saw your gallery for first time. This image is sooooo beautiful and wonderful.

Thanks, jascorpio.... this image was sooooooooooooo long ago! I look at it now, and see all kinds of things I would do differently. Anyway, that is normal I guess.
