National Geographic Magazine Illustration

National Geographic Magazine contracted xRez principal Eric Hanson in 2006 for an artwork assignment to create the pull-out poster insert for the April 2006 issue commemorating the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. A mix of 3d modeling and matte painting techniques were used to create this hypothetical west coast city, while illustrating some of the core science of earthquake dynamics and urban infrastructure preparedness.

    I’m interested to find out, how can one use your services to capture some images from an skiing area such as the one you did from Yosemite and integrate it into a map of that area? Do you have any sub-organisations in Europa. Is your camera similar to the roundshot of Seitz Photorechnik in Switzerland?

    The porpose of the request is scientice applications.

    With regards,

    Godrat
