World of the real.....

[Eden]

Didn’t think it was fair to add my images one at a time in to the stills thread, so to get them out of the way I decided to create a members show case!!

Although these next images are not as visually stunning as the majority of imagery on F3D the main goal was the study of hardsurface and softbody SubD modeling, Camera matching, Organic forms, Environments, Lighting combinations, luminous polygons, HDR, Low key lighting, UV mapping, linear workflows D.O.F and hopefully the creation of some realistic scene.

Few more:)

It's all good stuff, but I really like the sneakers! very realistic rendering style there:)

The shading on the snail (or slug?) is also really eye catching!

[DELTA]

Very nice work

[david webster]

Super quality work all of them top notch !!

Many thanks guys for your comments your all to kind!:)

[Pheylan]

Wow, this is all top notch stuff indeed Eden! And I really like the way you did the neon highlights on your version of the buggy...it's really unique.

I also started on the WMD tutorial but alas, I got all fouled up on the ammo belts and put the whole project on hold and forgot about it. Seeing yours makes me want to go back and give it another try....one day.

And btw, congrats on getting on the front page! :)

[Lynx121]

this is really outstanding work, i like all of it, them cookies actually look edible!

[Gordon Robb]

Not as visually sunning as the majority her on F3D? Are you shitting me? These are fantastic. I LOVE the two coffee cup ones. But they are all fantastic.

[Rigel]

I'm with Gordon. Your work is absolutely stunning and you have fulfilled all of your hopes regarding achieving realistic scenes.

The black and gold beads(?) are amazing, the diamond ring looks like any good jewelery ad I've ever seen. The foamy coffee looks real enough to drink. Etc. etc. etc.

I'm glad you set this up because you're right, it would not be fair to have to wait to see these one by one in the Stills forum.

Many thanks for your comments! You really should re-visit to the WMD tutorial well worth the time...will be happy to help if you require

Many thanks you comments are very much appreciated... I'm my own worst critic. I'm usually never satisfied with what I make, I feel there is always room for improvement.

Many thanks for taken the time to comment is greatly appreciated…and the foamy coffee is one of my favorite’s just need to make some donuts to go with it now! :D

[BillS]

Now now.. you have the coffee...that is the important part.

but!!

We're gonna need a lot more than that little pot there. :)

[colkai]

I can only echo what everyone else has said. Absolutely stunning work, really, as lynx has said, the cookies actually look edible and that coffee is very inviting.

Hearty congrats, if not tinged with a huge amount of jealousy of your talent. ;) :D :D

[david webster]

If you had posted on a one by one basis you would have been a permanent fixture on the front page ,everyone deserves it i think !!!!

[bmckain]

Hands down, it's the Coca-Cola bottle for me. Well done.

[Woody]

Respect! Great job on all of these, plus, you actually finished Andy's WMD tut. :p

These are visually stunning in their own way. They are not flashy, but the work is absolutely superb!!! Bravo!

Many thanks again for your kind words! But I have had my turn on the front page there are many other images that deserve the honour.

Hands down, it's the Coca-Cola bottle for me. Well done.

Many thanks again Bob….Greatly appreciated :)

Respect! Great job on all of these, plus, you actually finished Andy's WMD tut. :p

Many thanks for you comments and yes I FINISHED the WMD tutorial:p but it did take me two attempts and a few e-mails to Andy for guidance but I got there in the end. And the greatest respect to you amazing talent you have, am sure we will see your name in some film credits

These are visually stunning in their own way. They are not flashy, but the work is absolutely superb!!! Bravo!

Lovely work, and great to see it all gathered together.

My favourites are the big gun tank, the watch and the old book.

The stones texture is also excellent - can I ask how you did it? I've been toying with the idea of a Stonehenge, but I'm not sure I could get stones looking that good.

Almost missed this…many thanks for taken the time to comment Nick very much appreciated. Yeah I like the book too, one of my first decent attempts at texturing

And if you could give me tips on how you did your stone, that would be great,

[3D_CG]

Love the Camero..

Sorry about that. When I did my stones/rocks I used pretty much the same techniques as I explained in your roughened rounding of edges thread. Started with cube, then subdivide it until I had it at the level before you reach the quadall, as originally there where going to be many more stones than there are in the scene you see here and need to keep the poly count down, from there I pulling and pushing vertices to get the very basic shape, added a simple material and U.V mapped the mesh, found some relatively high resolution photographic images and set up a bump, displacement, and possible a gradient and iridescent angel layers.

Ah, thanks for the detailed explanation - I think I need fully procedural for my Stonehenge. I'm also beginning to think though that the obvious thing is to move it into Vue for surfacing and skies...

Anyhoo - back to your most excellent thread!

Cheers, Nick

Great selection of models and renders :)
Love the slug, my only crit is that I think it should be slightly more wet/slimy looking ?

I would agree he dose look a little dry, must make the time in the future to sort that out. Many thanks for your comment graham much appreciated:tu:
