salisbury corrida

I decided
to model the Salisbury Cathedral, originally located in England. The event
taking place in the cathedral is a typical bullfighting contest, that is why we
can see a matador in the sand in the middle of the cathedral. This kind of
contest is a Spanish custom and usually takes place in arenas.

The public
wears white and red clothes, the typical outfit for the feria lovers. They all
carry a red headscarf and they all are waving it in the air as a symbol of the
end of the corrida.

I chose to
mix religion and bullfighting, as they are two things that gather people. I
wanted to emphasize the difference between the two universes since the
bullfighting gather people who scream and make a lot of noise whereas religious
people in European church are really quiet and sing in a very religious way.

The fact
that Religion had allowed and still allows bullfighting is quite a paradox,
since religions want people to be peaceful whereas the bullfighting is quite a
barbarian and violent custom.

To create
this model I used 3ds Max 2014, V-ray 2.4 and Photoshop CS6.

In 3ds Max,
I used the plugin MultiScatter to create the crowd and the sand.
