Perhaps the most sad & pessimistic picture i've made so far...
But LOL because i've never been so happy actualy

Anyway, the original size is x2800 and it was composed with lot of copy/paste/transform in photoshop. Poser used for the guy.

Inspired by the poster of this (very bad) french movie i've seen in the street when i was a child

And also by this kind of landscape, more merry

Hello,
Here is a future cover for a futur album of my musical&Visual project.
Same things than the latest picture uploaded (Hyper-Technology V), i've focused a lot on lighting and contrast in order to have something more realistic.
Note that the "snake-like" meshe is a free stuff by StoneMason and some nurnies in the center from Ozylots.
If you have good eyes you will see that the 3 towers are derivated from Hyper-Technology V.... accordingly this visual is a quick made one. Often a new visual cames from the work of another one, which is the case here =)

Hello,
Here is my latest SF visual. I tried to improve as much as possible my usual weeknesses: lights and atmospheric.
Usually i only use the default skyline of Brazil, but this time no skyligh at all but a real sunlight thanks to a brazil omni light. Makes a significant difference, with far more contrast.
For the atmosphere, the background towers have a lower opacity in photoshop, and the fog and smoke are done with nice brushes found for free at Deviantart. Here again, simple things which make all the difference.

Hope you like]]> Sun, 25 May 2008 14:09:24 +0000 Hyper-Technology IV http://remain-silent.cgsociety.org/gallery/612180

Hello everybody,

Here is my latest visual. Not very complex and quickly done, but i like the result.
As usual 3Dsmax & brazil plus a lot of post work in ptotoshop.
This is a reuse of the meshes from the visual below, which i didn't published here because even more simple lol, but i like it too, this is the opposite: stable & zen

]]> Sun, 23 Mar 2008 17:42:48 +0000 Hyper-Technology III http://remain-silent.cgsociety.org/gallery/583589

New visual of the Hyper-Technology serie.
Seems simple to do but it was one of the longuest visual i've made so far.
I used a very complex object instance only duplicated 4 times to do one ring. But 3Ds was enable to manage more than one ring even with a huge optimisation of the meshe. Thus there is one render per ring !!!
In the end i'm sure that i would had the same result with a simplier model lol]]> Sun, 13 Jan 2008 12:14:06 +0000 Hyper Technology II http://remain-silent.cgsociety.org/gallery/563568

Hello

Here is my latest visual. Done in 3DS and rendered with Brazil.
Always the same kind of dark and futuristic landscape sorry, but i love that.
I have improve on lights and textures. Here light points are real 3Ds lights and not photoshop effects. The textures are darker with a lot more of specularity, and of course some symbols inspired by the SF illustrations of the 80's (espacially Peter elson)

And don't forget to discover and download my musical and visual stuff if you like this kind of universes ;-)

Hello,

Here are new visuals done during the summer. This is a new series based on desertic landscapes. The post treament is very close to the movie Avalon.

This series is called "Irradiate".
The concept is radioactive ruins of an old advanced civilisation.

Here are the others woks done this summer (you can click on them for bigger resolutions)

The image below is posted too

Hello, here is a first visual from a new series on the theme of technoloy. After my cycle Men-Machines-Souls in which all the visuals were rendered in the same way for consitency reason, i will now be free to experiment a lot of news things.

On this one for example:
-Use of a real picture, it is more a matte-painting than a real 3D visual accordingly
-Work on atmospherics Fxs

You are free to imagine what you want behind this scene. But in my head they are ventilating flues . The surface of the earth is too much polluted, and poplations decided to live under the ground...and continue to polluate the surface. (this is why i used a waste field for the ground)

Someone told me that it was close to some buldings of the Dune game, but i have never played to it. But perhaps i've seen it running one day lol !

Nevertheless during the work i was aware to be inspired by the Opera of sydney.

Well, i hope you will enjoy this little work, nost the most complex i've made indeed]]> Sun, 17 Jun 2007 15:07:44 +0000 The last gardens_ http://remain-silent.cgsociety.org/gallery/504527

Hi everyone

Here is a new futuristic (& ecologic) visua.l
The idea is that a future (or our) civilisation destroyed the nature on earth. Then survivors create a new industrial and technologic world. Fortunately some specimens of plants were saved. Thus, huge glasshouses (heightened to escape to the radiations of the ground) were created to protect and cultivate them.

Of course i was inspired by the "silent running" movie design and by blade runner (the bottom right looks like the tyrell pyramids) and the last star wars (the gap on the industrial ground on the left)

here a mosaic of those sources (hope it works. here is the link if not) http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/9595/mosaic4nv.jpg

]]> Tue, 01 May 2007 15:26:18 +0000 Dislocation - 6 http://remain-silent.cgsociety.org/gallery/249687

Hi everyone
This picture is one of the visuals of my second album DISLOCATION (electronic, dark & futuristic instrumental music)
Done with 3dsmax and rendered by brazil. The modelisation is my own work & the render was done by Kompleet (from France too). Some parts of the meshes were modelised from some free meshes on internet.
The goal was to make a global work : auditive & visual.
Here is the promotional speech of this album
thanks =)

Remain Silent - Dislocation (2005) - Axesscode (axc04)
After the destruction of the world and of civilisation, following the self-destructive spiral of the TID era,
machines have taken over the planet and reshaped a world based on the technological and the industrial.
The surviving humans are assimilated and their organic casing is, little by little, replaced by automated
systems. This mutation, understood more or less consciously by a part of the numb surviving civilisations,
is actually both wanted and agreed upon, since the savaged world does not offer any alternative to the
human species to survive. This is the time of Dislocation. The last remains of the human civilisation are
broken up and the memories of the past dematerialized in huge virtual libraries in which computerized
spirits escape and die.
Yann Souetre, aka Remain silent
On his second album, Remain Silent is exploring a large spectrum of the sounds and structures of
contemporary, industrial, electronic music. Very much influenced by the Vancouver sound, and
especially by bands such as Numb, Front line Assembly & Skinny Puppy, Remain Silent has also
worked on samples made by prestigious sound engineers and musicians such as Cevin Key
(Skinny Puppy). The concept of Dislocation is transcribed through an intense intricating effort, a
lmost chaotic, of compositions, styles, and subdivisions of the album (the division being the reverse
of that of TID)
The artwork has also been in focus: landscapes designed on computers and inspired by films and
Science Fiction pieces of the 80s (Blade Runner, Outland, Alien, Star Wars). These models have
been created by Yann Souetre (aka Remain Silent), trained as an architect, and realized by
Kompleet, graphic designer. Dislocation had to be a comprehensive, film-like work, both visual and
audio centred, thus giving meaning to the artwork connected to the content of the record;
connection often forgotten in productions.
From abyss like atmospheres to wild rhythms, this album is testing dive in a futuristic, dark and
hyper-technological world. After TID, unanimously critically acclaimed, Dislocation sets the
standards even higher technically, as well as artistically.
Enjoy !

]]> Tue, 14 Jun 2005 18:05:20 +0000 T>i>d - 5 - Neural Network http://remain-silent.cgsociety.org/gallery/275315

Hi everyone
This picture is a remake of one of the visuals of my first album T>I>D on Brume records 2003(electronic, dark & futuristic instrumental music).
I wanted to (re)create visuals with the same mood than Dislocation, my second album with the same kind of visuals. My goal was to have an homogeneous discography both in sounds and visuals, and to evoke the same hyper-technological and gloomy world.
This picture shows a land of huge neural network. The neural network is (almost) a new technic in computer science which try to imitate the brain's functioning. Here i imagined that this technic will be used to create virtual intelligences & worlds where humanity will fall into oblivion, the natural world oustide destroyed...

]]> Mon, 27 Jun 2005 20:40:45 +0000 Tribute To Alien's Nostromo http://remain-silent.cgsociety.org/gallery/270856

Hi !
This is my latest work, a tribute to my favorite spaceship: the Alien's Nostromo.
Important: the Nostromo's 3D model is the work of Derrin Proctor from the Martin Bower's original Alien's model. My work is the futuristic base modelisation, the render and the photoshop edition.
Derrin Proctor's page
Martin Bower's page
The name of this visual is "The last departure"
The idea was to show the base and the planet of the Nostromo just before the departure and the horrific story of the movie. The difficulty was to recreate the colors and the mood of the movie, and of course to have the same design between the spaceship and the base.
render GI picture & basic render

Cockpit's detail from the movie (for the blue color)

The 3Ds model size is about 80mo & the photoshop size about 100 mo with 36 layers. The render was about 6 hours in 2953x1535.
Here are some pictures to illustrate this tribute to one of the most amazing spaceship ever !

Here are the Derrin Proctor's model and the reference point of view from a model's box
