nglemb Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 Hey, Just a little something that I've worked on on and off for a few weekends. Would love to hear comments. Sort of a newbie and would love any advice for future reference. Quote
Iham Wrong Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 Very imaginative. I'm not really sure as to what you need to hear, but it looks a surreal dream. I do think the water could stand to be adjusted on it's ripple scale and contrast. Currently instead of a water appearance it has a feel of a paste. Will Sutton posted a link to a simple and clever water material he created that might better suit your project. I'll see if I can dig up the link. http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2476&st=0 Hmm.. Couldn't find the Ark thread with the search. had to resort to the brute method to extract the thing. <sigh> Quote
nglemb Posted July 11, 2004 Author Posted July 11, 2004 Thanks for the link. Materials is something I could use a lot of practice in so being able to see that was really helpful. Quote
DarkLimit Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 nglemb- I really like this scene; looks very abstract, I also like the orange thingy.... the overall scene has a nice feel to it.... keep up the good work.. Quote
John Keates Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 I really like this composition. It reminds me a bit of the kind of stuff that I paint sometimes. ( examples of which can be seen here: http://web.onetel.com/~lavie/ ) Is there some kind of deliberate symbolism going on or is it just random? I am wondering what the writing on the boat is. Quote
modernhorse Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 Yes ! Very surreal and abstract(hmm someone tell me if I'm butchering art terms here ). Its the kind of thing that you can stare at and draw your own conclusions. If that's what you're after, then you've suceeded. Great job! Doug Quote
3DArtZ Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 all the elements looks very good. I think it is a really nice image as is... but as far as what I think would be..... the phase that the splash is in right now, would be how it would look by the time the object hitting the water was already 90% under the surface of the water. If not totally underwater. Aside from that issue, this is a very pleasing image to look at. Nice job! Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote
KenH Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 I just noticed this post....amazing image! I can't even imagine how you made it. Maybe a wireframe? Especially great for a first post! Quote
nglemb Posted July 13, 2004 Author Posted July 13, 2004 I'm afraid there isn't any kind of meaning in particular to this picture. I just wanted to make something pleasing to the eye. So I guess it is just about entirely abstract. Except for the writing on the boat, which is my signiture, and then I stuck a + and then my girlfriends initials on a whim. Pretty much just a sappy detail. Glad you enjoyed it. That's the real point. Here's a wire frame. Not to complicated a model. Keeping the tendrils all separate and not touching was the only thing that took a little patience, but it wasn't to bad. Wish I could say that I modeled the clouds but it's just a painting I did. I'm not sure if that's a no-no in the 3d community to throw in in a background like that, but I sure as heck couldn't figure out how to model it. Would love to know if anyone has come up with a good cloud material by the way. Thanks for the posts. -Nathan Quote
Dearmad Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Looks neat. Like frozen quicksilver. Sorta surreal. Quote
