About the final project for: Surrealist Landscapes: Design and 3D Modeling

Surrealist Landscapes: Design and 3D Modeling

“During the lessons I taught you all the secrets to conceive, model, render and post-produce a digital image with 3d Studio Max, Corona Renderer and Photoshop. Now it's your turn! Follow these basic steps to get your project done. Don't just copy my example, but experiment and invent something new. In this way, you will learn to independently apply the techniques I have taught you and you will give more room for creativity. Choose your subject and search for images that represent your subject and also for images of lights and atmospheres that you like, then create your moodboard.

Create the landscape with 3d Studio Max.
Create the subject and its architecture.
Choose and apply materials and textures.
Make and apply scattering if relevant to your project.
Create the lighting.
Render and post-produce your image.
Now share your project in the forum! Show everyone both the final result and the processing phases, documenting each phase with an image and describing what you have done with a brief explanation. As soon as possible, I will be happy to comment on your work. See your colleagues' projects and encourage them by commenting on what they've shared - don't miss this valuable opportunity to interact with the creative community. Thanks again for taking this journey with me!”

“Final project Hello and thank you for taking this course with me. I hope I have passed on my passion to you and the information you will need to move in this area. Now it's your turn to get to work. Start shaping the terrain, to then move on to the construction of the first part of the building, that is, the single module that will be repeated in series to build the entire architecture. Then, move on to modeling the other elements, such as stairs and windows. Proceed with texturing and mapping, and then move on to creating grass in the ground. Continue with the lighting of the scene and the...”

Digital Artist

Massimo Colonna is an Italian digital artist and creative director of Il Magma studio. The urban landscapes of his childhood, the brutalist architecture, and the evocative atmosphere of some Italian towns have accentuated his taste for contrasts and the materiality of concrete, as well as his colorful and evocative imagery.

After starting a career in photography, Massimo started posting his work on social media, where he was met with rapid success. He later set up on his own and began to chain important projects for brands such as AntonioLupi, ElleDecor Italia, Archiproducts, Marazzi, Mut Design, Lalique Fragrances, Yoox, and many others.

In addition to drawing inspiration from other artists, from great photographers such as Luigi Ghirri and Franco Fontana, to active designers such as Six N. Five, Massimo believes it is essential to experiment, constantly update, and differentiate himself.
