Hello everyone, been lurking some but been too busy with boring rl stuff to post... anyhoo here's some art history for you:

This is titled "The Emperor Triumphant" painted between 2012-2014 by renowned French artist Rien d'Archère, it shows the Emperor Crobler at the peak of his powers. He smiles at the viewer, pointing to the stars with an outflung arm. "Come with me and live the dream!" he seems to say. Sat upon his mighty steed Star Citizen, the world is his oyster.



Compare the above to this painting by controversial Russian artist Derki Smartov. Painted during 2015-2017, this is simply titled "Deathmarch". After his comprehensive defeat on the freezing Steppe of Reality we see the beaten Emperor retreating with his defeated army of minions. Every stroke of the artists brush cries: Oh the Humanity! Where did it all go wrong?



Holy poo poo these are amazing.

This.

It's clearly 3D. But it's not been cleaned up, or unwrapped or even textured. It's just standard kit-bash concept art thrown together.

funny you should mention that, I had the exact same thought.
I use corona render for my work ( I do renders for archviz ) and corona is progressive.

Meaning, it works with passes, 10 passes you can see all these dots'(noise) in corners, 100 passes give a nice clean image.

it looks like the render wasn't even done.
Also the fake headlights they shopped on it.

This is exactly what I was saying. I also do ArchiViz and use a progressive renderer, so it really stood out as weird to me. It's not a super complex model, I can't imagine rendering it out to a couple hundred passes would take more than an hour or so on a decent system.

Yeah, probably done in MAX or Maya but they don't have an actual game model of it or they could have -

- exported it
- set it up in CryEditor
- setup a moon scene using the actual game level they're working on
- take a high res image

So either the artist who made it isn't part of the live team with access to the game, or they couldn't give a poo poo. I am going with the former because it's a shoddy concept art.

But using a real world location for a sci-fi game, when you have all those amazing PROCEDURAL PLANETS to use? loving LOL!!

I'm just waiting now for some loving Goon to post the image of the Mattel toy it's based on. I would just loving lose it.

freelance or for a company?

pfft, minimum materials, no heavy scene, with an I7 could be done under half an hour. I doubt they'd be rendering it at a 3k res.

It's also odd that, if they have a 3D model, they didn't do the sensible thing of rendering on top of various flats that had the matte painting Archered backdrop projected onto them. It would have all kinds of fancy things that matched(…ish) the environment . Like proper shadows.

Why is it odd? 75% of their drat ships don't have a 3d model.
