I did this entry in a little challenge over 2 months at the Danish 3D
community 3dmaxer.dk with the strange and mind boggling theme "Surreal
Reality".
"altruism" has a surrealistic touch to it and a deep message flowing
through it as well. It depicts an in my opinion very important part of
life, reality, in a surrealistic and symbolic way. Ultimately, it's up
to the spectator what he/she feels it is about.
Rendering times ended up being about 7-8 hours for all layers all
together in the native resolution 2868x1200 pixels. There is somewhere
about 40.000 characters in the image, the biggest part rendered on 2D
alpha planes distributed by particle systems. The foremost 40
characters are full 3D and posed by hand.
The image is post-processed and composited in Photoshop. The background
mountains are hand painted here as well, and the sky is an image
retouched and hand painted upon to remove some of the 2D look and add
more volumetric feel to the clouds.
Thanks for viewing my image. More of the same stuff at my website
