Admin Rodney Posted November 21, 2004 Admin Share Posted November 21, 2004 Very nice Andy. If blurred a little I'd say it'd make a great desktop background for those so inclined. Can you tell us anything else about the project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apprentice Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hi Rodney, thanks for the comment . It is a short animation project based on uh... a love poem I wrote heh heh . At first it's just a quicky short for my portfolio but after an inspiring shower I decided to go all the way and push my limits. My plan for this is for my portfolio and maybe a few bucks on dvd (I hope ppl would buy ). I would be pestering you guys with more wips, I hope you don't mind but this is a really great community to learn. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimblepix Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Beautiful work Andy. Any post production on this? Here's one small adjustment you might try. Raise the right flower about 50 pixels above the second from the right flower. : ) DanRJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apprentice Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hey DanRJ thanks I adjusted the image's level in post. I just found out that compositing is a powerful thing, faster to adjust stuffs. Thanks for your suggestion for the flower's position. I'm putting that on my note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 an excellent image! since i am 'detail oriented' and apparently enjoy typing, i'll mention that it looks like your background rotoscope is loosing a little light in the upper corners of the image. it may have also crept in during your post work. this could of course be intentional, and i can't imagnie that any non-compulsive folks will notice.. or care. ") regardless, top-notch modelling and composition! -jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apprentice Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Hi Jon, thanks for your observation. I notice that too. It's a lighting problem. Thanks again you folks made me motivated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flog Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 the Landscaper!! That shall be your name. You do great work as usual, there are some slight changes that could be made, some variations in the roses, but great work nonetheless. I like the blur and focal point of your picture. Please write us a tutorial on how you do this. GREAT!! WORK!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaryin Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Beautiful texturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apprentice Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Flog!!! thanks for your kind comment. Thanks for yours too Zaryin A tut? would love to but I think there's just basic stuffs in there really, modeling, decaling, furs, and oh yeah Emilio Le Roux's sweeper helped me create the grass (thanx Emilio). But if you have questions I'll be more than happy to answer. This is a new WIP render. I added the uh...weed thingie and more grass. I still need to fix the things that you guys suggested: the dark top corners, more flowers variations and some noticeable twin grasses. So what else sucks? Do you think the blurred foreground flower is too big and distracting? I want the attention to the two middle flowers. Your comments and critics will be very helpful for me. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypnomike Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 That's a big improvement to an already exceptional picture. I think you are right to have doubts about the big flower in the foreground though. The eye is naturally drawn to red and the foreground flower is the largest patch of red. It's a good idea to have something blurred in the foreground to frame and maybe add depth to the picture. You'd maybe consider replacing it with some greenery which should add depth without drawing attention from the flowers. Hope this helps.

Zaryin Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I agree with hypnomike on his comments. I'd also like to ask what "Sweeper" is and what you did with it to create the grass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apprentice Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hi, sorry it took forever for me to reply. Thank you very much for your comment and suggestion hypnomike. I removed the big red foreground flower and replaced it with some greens as you suggested. I will post the new image as soon as I'm done with the lighting. Hi, Zaryin. Sweeper is a free plug in by emilio le roux. Here's a description from his website "Sweep is a modeling plug-in that extrudes a cross-section along a path." For details http://www.moscafilms.com.br/emilio/online.../amplugins.html 10.5 version is available here: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7777&hl=sweep For the grass, I used single splines to "draw" the grass positions and directions. Created the grass' body and used sweeper plug in and voila I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apprentice Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 Hi, I want to thank you guys again for your suggestions. You were very helpful. I put the new pic with the finished lighting on the showcase forum. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Critics are very welcome. Thanks again http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=10602 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
