Prison Gulag 3D Environment build, the creation of the prison gulag environment using Maya, Clarisse, zBrush, Mari, Photshop and Nuke. A team effort to build the wider prison buildings, ground and surrounding hills.

Various damaged stages of the environment were needed to tell the story of the sequence as it developed.

FX, lighting and DMP all worked towards combining our strengths to create a holistic environment.

The environment was built to accommodate wide and close up shots.

Detailed weathered passes were required using 2.5D projections in Nuke

2.5D projections allowed us to apply age and detail very quickly for specific shots.

Building the entire environment inside Clarisse meant we could cover a large majority of shots and iterate quickly as we developed the prison from the ground up.

The ground was sculpted to show tracks and general snow patches and build up. Using Clarisse's scattering system we were able to paint in point clouds of varied sized boulders and ground break up.
