Images here are selection of virtual sets I made while working at Launch Media Inc. in Santa Monica, CA. They were used in monthly CD-ROM magazine and in broadband version od Launch web site. All backdrops are fully 3d, modeled in 3ds MAX and designed by myself and, as you can see, were used as backdrops for interviews with musicians and actors. Once redered in MAX, images went to video department for live footage compositing and futher to coders who assembled interactive elements in Macromedia Director. At this point final menu items and text were writen by copywriters and were added to 3d image by myself.
CD-ROM's main interface was depicted as cityscape where prominent buildings were assigned functions. Buildings and environments within them were designed based on what kind of music should be performed there. I usually created and designed images in areas called Hothouse (grunge rock), Flix (movies), Hang (mainstream) and some custom made environments for ads.
