Tie Interceptors strike back!
This is a new version of a very old personal project, a Star Wars classic, a squadron of Imperial Tie Interceptors.
I revamped the old model in order to practice (and have some fun) with HDR painting and compositing. I've always been inspired by 2D science fiction illustrations and movies from the 70s, so I tried to convey a little bit of those ambiances in this image.
Modeling in Maya, it was the first attempt I did to an hard-surface model. Texturing using procedurals in 3dsMax, rendering with V-Ray, Painting and more compositing in Photoshop and a bunch of other software: Looks, HDREfex, AfterEffects for the flares. Final color grading in Lightroom.
