Once I finished rendering the character I started modeling the background buildings. The buildings were just simple poly models with texture maps in a different scene and I rendered each one of them on a different layer.
Post Editing
Once the rendering was finished I brought all of the rendered images into photoshop and put them in one "psd" document. I started post editing by doing some matte painting on the background buildings, adding some atmosphere and doing some modifications on the debris, which was modeled using "paint geometry tool" in maya after the matte painting for the buildings was done. The rain was made up of three different layers, each made using "maya paint effects" with some color adjustments and a screen blending mode in photoshop; two of these layers were placed behind the character and one of them in front of him. I did some paint overs on the character himself; especially on his hair. Some textures were added in bottom of the artwork and on top of all the other layers, using basic photoshop techniques. Finally, I added the batman logo and it was finished.
About the Author
My name is "Mohhamadtaghi Aibaghi Esfahani" and my nickname is "Sohrab". I'm 24 years old and currently I live in Iran. I started painting different things when I was a fifth-grader and I continued devoting my time to it as I progressed into high school. I have now graduated with an associate degree from Azad University of Tehran in the graphic design field.
I became fond of cg arts after I watched "The Lord of the Rings" movie for several times; then I started learning "maya" and some other softwares. I dont like to complain, but its not that easy for someone who lives in Iran to make progress in cg arts because the only training source that is available is video tutorials and there are no appropriate universities for this field in Iran. When it comes to occupation, animation companies are no good and there is no such thing as gaming. Nonetheless, I'm doing the best that I can to make progress in cg art any way because I believe that I should follow my dreams. I believe that everything is going to work out some day.
