These armorial bearings are one of the several high-resolution objects I modelled for the movie "S. Pietroburgo" directed by Giuliano Montaldo.
In the final effect, these objects are catapulted out of a cathedral in St. Petersburg after its oneiric explosion.
The principle model was realised in 3ds Max, whilst the modelling of the details has been done in ZBrush, just like the final rendering of the image. For postproduction I used Photoshop.
With the kind authorisation of Proxima (www.proximasfx.com), Rome 2007.
More details, wires and a little showreel of this image are on my website: www.giuseppeguzzardi.com
