I like old steam engines and locomotives, because you can see the technic and feel the power of this machines.
it was a hard work to create a accurate model of the train, enclosed some clay renders...
...some additional models for the environment
...the first materials and light set up for testing
The first render looks to clean, and the main smoke is not that what I want, so I made it in AFterFX.
First final Render and compositing with smoke. CC, chromatical abberation, noise, vignette, and blur in Photoshop.
...some details in the final Image.
