The Razor Crest Landing

This was a personal project made with the help of CGStirk’s Razor Crest VFX Lecture series on Youtube. It served as an introduction to V-Ray and EmberGen, a real-time simulation software, which I used to create the billowing dust effect as the ship lands. This shot also required a lot of compositing and color grading. I adjusted the lighting to bring out more detail in the Razor Crest model and used masks to break up and randomize the dust. To give this shot a more cinematic feel, I used a depth pass to create depth-of-field blur, added lens glare and a slight camera shake.
