These 3D scans models were generated for the short movie Gloria Victis(https://vimeo.com/182609342).
In this movie, the Cour Marly was fully 3D generated.
All these scultpures models were created from +150 photos using Photoscan software.
You will find a 3D preview for each scans on my Sketchfab profile: https://sketchfab.com/meryon
Free use for references, matte paintings or whatever.
Enjoy.

Often there is something ABOUT things that you can’t really pinpoint – is it the story, the colors, the quirks.. the quarks;) ? There is something about movie or a story that you know you like against all better judgement.. I am still mining words for this as it is still fresh in my mind. but last night i looked a bit into the guy who directed the movie, Enki Bilal – a serbian comic artist whose comic books it turned out, in the 80s, inspired Blade Runner and The Fifth Element, as opposed to the other way around. Once I found that bit of information i started to look at the sets with fresh eyes… because the sets and the architecture did remind me of the Fifth Element and my first reaction was to think that immortals borrowed ideas from it. Quite the opposite.
Remember the yellow taxi from the Fifth Element??

Enki Bilal‘s futuristic visions were created for his Nikopol comic book series:
“.. In 1980 he began his award-winning ‘Nikopol-trilogy’, including the books ‘La Foire aux Immortels’, ‘La Femme Piège’ and ‘Froid Équateur’. Besides these comics activities, Enki Bilal started working in film, theater and opera. He created sets, costumes and posters for a theater play and worked on two feature films.”

I love every bit of Enki Bilal’s futuristic visions. Here are some of his concepts:

Why would anyone be upset at fiction is strange to me – I for example do not like violence and for some reason also do not like Stephen King. Love action movies but anything Tarantino and up, blood gore and dismemberment horror movies are out of my comfort zone. I just won’t be able to function for days that’s all. But this is very personal and will remain just one sentence – i don’t want to ruin anyone’s appreciation of whatever they may be into.
To me the prequels are magic, I am completely color blind to their faults although I intellectually understand where the problems are. I have seen them many times – my mind functions very strangely in that very often I quickly forget details so every time I re-watch a movie it is like almost brand new experience.
I grew up on sci-fi, hard sci-fi and pretty weird sci-fi. It is the story, the whole package that is magic for me. Like someone waved a wand and am transported, can’t see any rotten trees in the magic forest. It is like watching Sesame street – do you worry about acting or the costumes? I am not gonna pick apart the acting in a thing with lightsabers. For the same reason I like to eat falafel – I like the way it makes me feel. I do not know if it is the process of chewing it, the crushing of the fried bits, the sauce, the pita – at the end of the day we like the experiences that make us feel good a bit of a mystery too.
Can you make me eat steak? – hardly – I am not gonna try to make you give up your meat. We are going to exist together in this universe where some of us like our pizza with the crust crisp, and our toast burned. Also, I like my universe with certain amount of innocence in it, where it is a bit stupid, and a little bit bad. Like when my dad says you know I am a realist and then I say well dad the reality is we are hanging upside down in space right now.

Produced in 1972 it is believed to be the world’s first computer-generated 3D animation. It was created by Ed Catmull, one of the founders of Pixar at the University of Utah. It was also one of 25 new additions recently added to the US film archive, short-listed from 2228 films nominated by the public due to its cultural and historical significance.
Echo Base is one of my favorite locations in the Star Wars universe ( along with Coruscant ) – very grounded and well worn and with lots of exciting machinery.
