"For some reason, at that moment, in that half finished foxhole... all I could remember was the Fourth of July when I was a kid..."
This is my final project from my Texturing and Shading 2 class at Gnomon School of Visual Effects. This piece was mostly done using Vray for Maya and Substance Painter.
I had the opportunity to choose my own subject matter and then proceed to model, texture, light, compose, and do some minor compositing work. It was super awesome getting to work on a bit of everything.
I want to thank Robby Branham for the awesome support. He helped a lot with giving me a guiding hand that pushed this piece in the right direction. Also want to thank my friends Max, Angie, and Danny for the feedback and encouraging me to push the piece forward. And last but not least, my friend Taylor for giving me a run down in Nuke to do some awesome finishing touches to this piece. Couldn't have done it without them!
