I am Michel Lanoie, born and living in Canada.
I am a 3D artist and I currently work as the Lead Texture Artist on Deus Ex
3 at Eidos Montreal.
3D
is my passion. I would even say that I consider 3D as a
Power. It is an art form that can truly
and entirely reveal it’s full strength exclusively if it's respected and honored. It draws it’s energy from
imagination and inventiveness; it’s pureness must be taken into
consideration. It's barriers are uniquely set by the
human mind. Therefore, behind any artistic thought, there
is a subliminal idea that makes everything begin and end
into artwork worthy of the idea itself.

This is my
view of a destroyed world, and I called it Kingpoby’s
Ruins. Everything is modeled low-poly because I wanted to make an environment that would in theory work in a 3D
game. I used normal maps to bake high-resolution objects onto low-resolution objects. That way I was able to
save on polygons. So the final scene counts 265 000
triangles.
Done in 3ds max (Scanline renderer), Combustion, Photoshop.

My goal was
to make an organic environment and something different
than usual. The trees and the ground were modeled in
Zbrush.

This project
was unconsciously started 4 years ago when I had the
random idea of modeling my brother's club golf set. Then,
from time to time, I did some other props related to that
for fun. Then I realized I could do a small
scene with what I already had and with what I could add to
complete the golf set. So here it is, all the pieces assembled into the puzzle!
