The Artwork
By using the new features of Blender 2.90, I wanted to update my workflow, in order to combine 3d render sequences with real live shot. In addition, I work on animation and integration of 3d soldier character, which is clearly not my specialty. This is more of an experimentation than a finished job. There are many things to improve, but I need to move it on.. This project was carried out over 3 mounths, during my free time.
The 3D legionnary are organized through groups of instances, which allows to obtain an army without over-loading the scene in Blender. All the legionnary are High-poly 3d models.
See more on ArtStation.

I like it :-) Very nice! Beautiful results.
Impressive! Congratulations!!!
Awesome. I want more of that. are you planning to release more of this?
I doubt Martin Klekners Magnum Opus will be as good as this one
Let us hope! I have the impression that Martin Klekner also knows what he is doing.
His illustrations are beautiful in any case.
Excellent mon gars ;-)
