FarCry2 work

[viag]

Hi, long time since i've post some work!

So here s my job on farcry 2 , mostly environments , Speed painting ,moods , finished pictures with 3d shapes and sometimes paintover on level design in the farcry engine.

I really enjoyed the project , it was the time to develop some new vegetation brushes , work more directly in colors , work on daily moods.

I didn't try the game yet , but it seems huge :)

After this project i worked on avatar (based on James cameron movie) , but the post will be for the next year :D

Now im working at eidos with my friends feerik , barontieri and rainart on a new project...

Im working a new website , so the old is under construction :/ , but there is the blog http://redwhirlpool.blogspot.com/

Cheers ! :sungod:

[bLux]

Wow, beautiful environments. I love all the jungle scenes, theres some excellent brush work. Do you have any plans to release any of the brushes used? Very inspiring paintings.

[Earendil]

Fantastic! Great work integrating the graphics engine with the paintovers, it's seamless!

Is the Eidos project Deus Ex 3, or something else? :)

[Noah Bradley]

Really incredible work.

[Duman]

Wow, thats some pretty damn high quality work. Really, many pics are simply serene. Well done, Im sure your efforts really add to the game.

[artiphats]

I would say these all really suck except, well, they are just so brilliant. I have always been a fan of your work, and I will definitely save these in my inspiration folder. You are getting better and better man, keep it up and thanks for posting.

[Hideyoshi]

This is just totally mind-blowing! Very impressive quality and quantity man!
Congrats! :)

[lIIusion]

The mood you set in these concepts are so awsome. You realy feel like you are right in it.

[Pichuerca]

Simply Amazing Stuff!

Thanks for share it!

[Temujin]

oh man....your concepts are so atmospheric...great work!
I cant wait to play FC2. Looks better in gameplay than Crysis for me.

[bao]

Great sense of light and structure. Really amazing pieces!

[ANARKY]

Amazing work. I'd love to know more about your process.
Any chance of a step by step?

[kidult]

Wow man!

[teho]

i saw some concepts before on the net and was thinking who did them from steambot guys... honestly i thought it was vyle and i'm very surprised that it was you he-he. i remeber your artwork from prince of persia 3 and i'm so loving it! i see how your style changed a little to the photoreal path. those concepts are so tight, they are well balanced with lot of details and atmospheric light. and i love especially interiors, how you damn do those reflections and playing with lights? they are so real like you're standing inside them.
and the forest paints are awesome, the best i saw so far.

[El Jeremie]

WHOOOOO,
That's a fucking good job.

[Twitchfinger]

Fantastic stuff as always! These really establish a great mood. Man, I can't wait to play the game.. it looks like it stayed very faithful to the concepts. Thanks for sharing!

[Robert.B]

DAMN! I cant ...find...the ..words.....!

[Leo Snow]

holy cow! amazing)

[Lotet]

dude...that just awezome!

[Coinpurse]

epic thread, I gotta take a few hours to soak it all in. :D

Thanks~

[Daniel Andrews]

So your responsible for all the beautiful Scenery :)
Killer Work!

[KenJ]

Unfrigginbelievable, what awesome mood and atmosphere... now I'm even more psyched about playing it, it's in the mail... :)

[baxart]

Impressive!

[Dragonspit]

its one of those wonderful days where you pop in to CA and find a handful of folks with mind blowing work posted. And this is one of them. man. the lighting and atmosphere is soo nice. I want to visit these places.

thanks for sharing.

[Farvus]

Fantastic concepts! I'm big fan of your environments :).

[SamC]

I'm in awe. Thanks so much for showing these

[Conejo Blanco]

Masterful work, truly well done! You're a fantastic artist.
I work at Bethesda Softworks, and I got a friend who just bought this yesterday... I saw him at the water-cooler and he said "man, I'm just dyin to get home and get to playing again."

[roidvoid]

ur work is very humbling for me. ur use of 3d is a true inspiration.
ive been working with 3d myself for some time now just to get basic shapes and perspective but your work takes it to another level.

amazing looking game btw

[David F.]

Has the word "epic" been mentioned yet?

[omelmahay]

Really incredible stuff. I'm with Chupacabra, I can't figure out how you get such crisp looking complex textures. Really skillful use of the unsharp mask? I dunno. Remarkable work.

[Atmospheria]

Pure awesomeness bro! It's great to see what you've been up to. Loving the colors! thanks for sharing!

[Benjamen Christ]

wow!!!!!! are you even human ? this isnt fair!

[TheDirtSyndicate]

goddamn, killer stuff!
i've been a fan of yours for a LONG TIME.

must be website update time... i just updated my site, and i know like 5 or 6 others who just re-did theirs too.
i cant wait to see yours!
ok, i have to go dig around in your blog now before bed.

[tiger1313]

wicked stuff! that hotel interiors are damn hot

[Oblio]

haha - great stuff. Farcry 2 rocks. :)
Big hug to you and all the gang. Hope to see you all soon :)

[ArtbyWard]

Looks awesome, incredible sense of mood!

Question: How much 3d do you use in these? Only for the perspective and lighting or more?

[RasselTassel]

[Serpian]

[kinjura]

I am totally in love with your leaves and dangly things (the ones in those trees).

[Mirk0]

Some great stuff... Amazing!

[TheJester]

Oh man I had a brief touch of the game and it's marvellous. I actually thought that the guy that worked out the enviro's was a beast. Well, needless to say, you sir are more than a beast, your work is otherwordly.

It's not a pat on the ass, it's not a slap in the face. It's the motivational eqivilant of a shotgun blast through the balls...

[Gavin Hargest]

Incredible environments, really capture the dangers yet beauty of Africa . . . .

[Vyse]

They gave a nice time, felt like a short trip to nature!
Really impressive, like the style of it a lot.
More, please...!

[SinnerMan]

OMG...Mood overload!!

[Define.]

:yum: Your use of colour is brilliant.

[twest]

Hey Nicolas, I love your stuff man. Great work on FarCry2. My wife and I are moving to Montreal in December, maybe we can grab a drink!

[AK86]
