Yosef Amirs Home

A typical Ethiopian living room. This particular character is the leader of the town....

I believe this was the first interior environment that I ever created that I was actually happy with. I think this was the very same room that I figured out how to light and how 3D lighting worked. It was quite an accomplishment for me because I struggled with 3D lighting for over 10 years.

The pillows were z-brushed and normal mapped on 1024x1024 textures. They were a lot of fun to materialize and create.

I believe this scene took a couple of days. It changed quite a bit from the original concept.
