Ziggurat

Ziggurats were temples built by ancient civilizations for local religions.

I went for a persian, Babylonian style.

Scene created in Maya. For vegetation, I used a combination of Evermotion`s tress, Maya`s paint effects and Ivy Generator. Texturing and matt painting done in Photoshop. Post Production in Shake.

The Attack of Alexander to Apadana Palace

I was involved in a couple of shots which were the recreation of the attack of Alexander to Apadana Palace.

We were on a tight schedule. Unfortunately some of the shots didn't turn as good as we wanted.

I uploaded the shot of the Alexander`s army:

3D Recreation of Ancient Khuzestan

I was working on the 3d recreation of the ancient cities of Khuzestan in the era of Achaemenid Empire (Hakhamaneshian) and Sassanid Empire (Sasanian).

It was a team project.

I worked on the organic elements of the scene such as sculptures, CG characters, birds ... .

This project involved about 60 character animations. Half of the animations are motion capture data which were downloaded from internet, the other half are keyframed animations I did.

For the cloth of the characters, mostly I used Maya`s nCloth.

Here are some of the animations and a couple of the final shots:

Babylon, era of Cyrus the Great

This is a personal shot I did in my free time. It`s the ancient city of Babylon, era of cyrus the great. Cyrus is considered the greatest king of the Persia.

I know It could have been better but I had to move on to other projects.

I still have`nt render the video shot.

I made a tutorial for this (in Persian)

Mental Ray Test

Here`s a test I did to see how 64bit version of Mental Ray can handle large scenes.

I used Maya for modeling,texturing,animation and rendered with Mental Ray. Compositing was done in Shake.

I rendered a video shot of this. It can be downloaded from here:
