Hi!

For a project I’m doing I need to show a person who has landed on a concrete pavement and made an indentation into the pavement. The tone of the project is humourous, so I need to also make the surrounding slabs that the person has fallen onto at strange and weird angles , also with the layer of ground underneath the broken slabs showing as well. So basically I want to take the photograph I’ve taken of the person and embed him into the pavement , with some of him being visible, complete with crack lines on the slabs of concrete and it actually looking like he has fallen through the pavement.

Any ideas as to how or what I should do? The project is due early next week so I really would appreciate any input or advice.

Thanks
robyn

The first step to any realistic rendering is observation

Go look and shoot as many cracked and broken concrete slabs as you can. Observe carefully how they’re cracked.

FEEL the crack!

BE the crack!

Let it’s crackiness flow THROUGH you and AROUND you!

If you have to, smoke the cra… er… never mind.

Wow. That was just wrong on so many levels.
