My task was to create a high detail model for all close-up shots of the Reichstag from 1940. As a supervisor I had to delegate a team of 3-5 artists. Therefore I had to create a small production pipeline. We started with a low poly model. Several elements with heavy structures were modeled and textured in Mudbox and integrated back to the Maya pipeline. This allowed us to render whole segments in 3 different detail levels (high, medium, low) and work with high performance and best quality. The whole scene was lighted with Maya’s Physical Sun and Sky System and classical lighting in addition. As renderer we used Mental Ray with its Render Pass System for masks, AO, depth, World Position Pass and more.

At the end I supported the Compositing-Department with to 2 shots from scratch and 2-3 final touches.
