Some of the DM work I did is featured in the trailer above and in the official Behind the Scenes clip below (0.12 sec, 0.16 sec, 0.50sec).

Transformers: Dark of The Moon

Posted: December 27th, 2010 | Author: Marko Ljubez | Filed under: Matte Painting, Portfolio Works | No Comments »

I've been busy working on the third Transformers movie Dark of The Moon, directed by Michael Bay. Here is the official trailer.  One of my shots (part of the shot) made the trailer (the one in the splashscreen in the video below).

The breakdown for one of my shots which Im referring to above is featured in the following videoclip by fxguide.  I did the concept/3d digimatte of the destruction for this shot, working closely with Abishek Nair who did the final composite, bringing all the shot-elements together. A big shout out goes to the lighting-team for their rendering of the 3D-assets, to the lookdev-artists who worked on the assets, the fx-team for their work on the vehicle destruction, fire and smoke-sims...and last but definitely not the least, the layout-crew for tremendeous matchmoving work.

Graphite

Posted: August 12th, 2010 | Author: Marko Ljubez | Filed under: Photoshop Freestyle | No Comments »

I had the sudden urge to take some moody black & white aerial landscape photos.  Unfortunately my private Jet was temporarily unavailable, so no go. Decided instead to "photograph" it using 3D and Photoshop while waiting for my other renders to finish. Too me it doesnt really matter how the image was conceived, what matters is the feeling you get when seeing it.
