For our first environment modelling-centric course at fxphd, Wayne Robson will be covering the creation of the highly detailed interior of Durham Cathedral in England. Its final use is as a background to a fair number of green screen live action plates, so a photo real asset is needed. Robson will cover the creation, texturing and final lighting and materials using combination of Mudbox and 3DSMax. Although these apps are used, other applications can be used as well using the same or very similar methods to those shown. The course will show from how to break down and plan a highly complex model to the final model and renders themselves which can be then used along with tracking data in the final shot.
