Landstriders Family After Effects, Maya, mental ray, Photoshop, ZBrush June 2008
These are Landstriders from the 80's movie the Dark Crystal. I modeled them in Maya and did the displacement, bump, and color maps using Z-Brush. Touched up the maps in Photoshop. Brought it back into Maya and attached the Mentalray SSS shader to the skin and eyes. I used PaintEffects for the hair. I had to render out each Landstrider and the background separately. Final render in Mentalray for beauty render and occlusion. Composited in AfterEffects
