Lee Griggs, the Madrid-based 3D artist created colorful enchanting topographical illustrations using animation and rendering software “Maya XGen and Arnold”.

He Explains:
“Some more tests with XGen archives and spheres. This time with a bit more color. A color texture map is connected to the length and color attributes of the XGen description. A beveled cube or sphere is used as the primitve archive which XGen then instances using the texture map as a reference.”
