This is a little experiment I did to see what I could do using Substance Painter for a concept piece. I think it worked out pretty well for how quickly I did it all. Next time I'll put a lot more time into the subject, composition and even try lighting and rendering from Maya instead of Substance.

The X-Wing models came from the free Star Wars model pack over at Video CoPilot

The original idea came to me when I was browsing through my photos from hiking Kilimanjaro. I decided to do a little paint over of this panoramic photo and put in some old 3D ships I made a while ago.

After making the 3D model and terrain, I textured it up in Substance Painter and then rendered out these shots

First go at the image. Still using one of the old ships I'd made. I decided I'd either have to make a new and more detailed ship myself or just find one online :)

I found out about these Xwing models from a friend and decided to go with them! I placed, lit, and rendered them using Photoshop's 3D functionality. It's pretty good but it's very slow as it's a CPU renderer.
