For 'Rise' as lead matte-painting artist, I was involved in the creation of the Beast Home Planet. initially starting with some rapid environment prototyping in Houdini and Clarisse to get sign-off from the client, we explored some very alien landscapes and skies before landing on a dense, Jungle-like planet with underlying veins of Energon.
The opening sequence ends with the destruction of the planet where I was tasked with lighting, lookdev and rendering with the FX caches being provided from the FX department.
Special thanks to Nial Booker for his Energon look development and Yann Couderc for optimising the FX caches for the planet destruction.
Extra special thanks to Thomas Mouraille in his role as matte paint supervisor.
