Project Review: The Cimarron Group-3D-Department Promotional Screens 2008

I did the animated splash screen for the Portrait-Promotional in-house HD monitors, that was re-purposed to the AV department for all our outgoing AV work.

 From selling generic 3D Models online, to iconic architecture for film, I also did 3D Architectural Visualizations, here Countrywide was highlighted.

 As a Graduate from Art Centers Transportation Design program, building 3D cars is a large part of what I did at The Cimarron Group.

 As an avid VW fan, building a 3D Herbie was a dream job. This asset was used in print and AV for the film Advertising campaign.

 3D-Logos are my 'bread-n-butter', so I created a screen to showcase some then current Images.

 I did a lot of 3D-Illustration work for the Film, Night at the Museum, this was a Project Specific Image I made for In-House Promotion.

 For our in-house Home-Entertainment Division, I did 3D-Illustration work for packaging various Star Wars Properties.

Here is a Project Specific Promotional Image for the X-Men 3 Work I did.

The Cimarron Group
3D-Department Promotional Screens 2008

Client: The Cimarron Group.
Art Direction: Thom Schillinger.
Project Date:Summer 2008.

In November 2003,I set up the 3D Design Department, in-house at The Cimarron Group, and provided 3D -Design, 3D-Illustration, and 3D-Animation services to the existing other 11 departments in-house at the Agency, and each department was asked to create some promotional images for the various HD monitors located throughout the company.

Each department was tasked with providing a set of images to display on the HD monitors that were rotated to portrait format, to emulate one of our main products,One-Sheets. My 3D Department was asked to provide specific work that the Owner wanted to showcase.

These Images provided our guests with a quick 'sketch' of what we offered via the 3D Design Department at The Cimarron Group.

Cheers, THOM

Project Review: 3D-Illustration Key Art One-Sheet FInish for Salem Season 3 on WGN America 2017.

Here is the finished one sheet with my 3D Illustration service as the grid-backdrop for the Agency.

 My Raw 3D render as delivered to the Agency.

 

 I always so an Ambient/Dirt pass so the Art Director and Finisher can add dirt and grit in post

 I also provide as needed, a Z-Depth pass for post adjustments as well.

More details of the build rendered out in Ambient Occlusion/Dirt Shaders on the top sides and posts.

 The detailed scroll work on the the 3D-model were 3D, not a 2D bump-map effect. The Cebas Final-Render Dirt Shader works wonders if it has real geometry to fill in that a Bump-Map is not suitable for.

Season 3 SALEM 2017

Client: WGN America via The Arsonal[Agency]
Art Direction: Whyte Limtrakul.
Project Date: July 2016.

I was called in to help create a full 3D rendered Gothic Architectural framework for the One-Sheet for the new Season 3 of SALEM on WGN America back last Summer.

The agency had mocked up something for me from old photos, that was to give me the general layout and scale for each window for the characters to be comp'ed into it once my render was done.

Step one was to drop the image into 3DSmax my 3D software, and build a vector scale object over the bitmap so I could built to it in 3D. Once adjusted for perspective I proceeded to build out the parts. Once we went thru a few rounds to adjust the details and scale of the parts I proceeded with the gilded wood texture and look. Once approved I rendered out a 9000 pixel huge final for use on Billboards,  One-Sheets and 30-Sheets, or web.

As an architectural nut, I love High-Gothic, and have build Gothic architectural elements in the past, so this was a pleasure to create for Brad Johnson and his team.

Cheers, THOM
