Matte painting for Dead Mountain series.
Movie takes place in 1960, so, our task was to develop look of the lubyanka street in 1960s. We researched references and other related materials and then, started with concept art.

After concept art was done, we us Google maps to export layout of the street to blender. All buildings were modeled from scratch, and then textured with photo projections. Our 3D department developed crowd, foreground environment and water simulation, and then we joined all elements togethet.
