The Timelaps

Time lapse is one of the two major topics of 3D2 at ESMA in Nantes. The subject being to age an object in few shot. For this subject I decided to age a statue of the virgin. Why this subject, because it allowed me to play with different  materials and create a play of lights with glass windows.

I started by researching the different virgins that exist in the world and their meaning. Then I chose the one that most visibly expressed the idea and atmosphere of my timelapse.

Once chosen I did some quick sketches and a turn to start modeling in Zbrush.

I followed the same process for the other elements of my background and texture.

A little storyboard to organize the different shot.

A small sample of shading and lighting tests.

A little making of for the realisation.

And the final result with the compositing.
