3D Computer Art

The project that I found that was very beautiful was Alexey Kashpersky’s “Environment for Umakala Movie Project” released in 2016.

I admired the project because of the beautiful colors and structure that was used to create the abstract and otherworldly environment. It seemed like this project took a long time to create, and it shows in the details of each piece. The texture of the coral really brought this piece to life, and I can imagine a beautiful animated movie that happens in this world.

I know that the artist used ZBrush to create the world, VRay to render, and After Effects to comp it all together. I do not think there was an algorithm that was used to create this landscape. Rather I think the artist created this landscape completely by hand. He also used some floral elements and ice models that were created by his wife.

I am not sure what the movie project is about or if the artist captured what they were going for. I do know that a trailer of it came out in 2016, and all of the subtitles are in Chinese. I think the story is mythical, powerful, and mysterious based on the trailer. Therefore, I would say the artist’s sensibilities manifested well in the final form. The world he created is very mythical and mysterious.
