Restaurant Craze

This piece is done for the loading screen for the video slot game 'Restaurant Craze'. It showcases the entrance of a quaint restaurant which has become an internet sensation overnight.

I created the scene in 3DS Max and rendered it with Keyshot. All the elements are rendered at one pass without compositing. Additional atmospheric effects and flares, as well as color and levels adjustments, are done in Photoshop. Keyshot is great for showcasing individual models but for a scene render, it requires more patience and effort to make things work right. It probably helps that my scene is not any more complex than this.

I am glad to pull off the warm evening light in the render and capture the posh feel of the restaurant entrance in the concept artwork by Debbie Yeo.
