awww no gifts for me o.o; *cries* lol j/k great entry just think it be nicer on a less shiny floor, maybe a nice thick carpet or a wooden floor. but nice work nonetheless

Eledine - There is a gift for you! Look, the one at the bottom left. I would never forget you!

p.s. I like your idea of the wooden floor (think it will tie in nicely with the gold). I'll update and reload. Thanks!

Tried it with a wooden floor but it looses something. I think i'm going to stick with the dark contrast and the shiny floor.

- Daddy, what will have under the christmas tree this year?

- Wooden floor, son!

Yay I have a present -

Personally I think the floor is a little too reflective and seems to take away from the tree etc.

nice work............

I'm flattered. I think I have the largest gift!

i wonder whats in my box , good work author and gl

Hi Mircea, the tree and tinsel "fur" was created with C4D's Hair Plugin and some custom hair shader/modifiers I made to get the effect I wanted. No Maya used. Rendering also all done in C4D.

Sorry havent look back untill now and thnx for the present a wonderfull and thoughtfull gift it was! You know me so well LMAO :P too bad the wooden floor didnt work out. but you should stick with what you like best and well you tried right? excellent work still and lmao at sigi :P

you should have put a lump of coal under there for someone as a joke, lol. Great job author!

This is a very interesting render. The concept has a few questionable directions, mainly regarding heat and humidity. Even with some panels opening, it would seem the heat and humidity build up would be comparable to a gigantic greenhouse - especially sitting on all that water. Also, if there is no breeze, the heat build up would be even worse. Spraying non-potable water (also used for toilets and showers) into the air as mist would create potential health hazards, and would increase the humidity problems on hot days...

It is still a very interesting idea, and a good 3d render!

Hi MossyB - Yes I agree that the heat and humidity would be an issue, but I've tried to create some solutions with the glass panels and the water spray system. I could take some creative liberties and go so far as to say that the glass (which will be developed in the future) is a heat repulsive glass, that is also breathable in one direction - kind of like a cell that can breath out, but not let anything in (ie water etc). That would be a great invention eh? Breathable glass... not entirely too far off in my opinion.

Thanks for your kind words and look forward to more comments... yay!

ps... the water catchment tank filters and purifies the water harnessed... employees can go and take water from the pond and drink it as it is 100% clean and delicious.

Cool render.

Thanks

Great concept and visual composition - in regards to the heating problem i'm sure they would get around to fitting a few cooling apparatus somewhere! Slap some fan units around the base and the air and heat wouldn't be a problem. all the same GL author

Very nice first entry author! You have skills! best of luck, this looks amazing!

Thanks JoeCacia! I Love architecture so had a lot of fun with this one.

Great green concept and render, I like all the views of your structure. Well done, and welcome!

Thanks Pearlie,

I put in the different views to show that there is more to this structure than just whats on the outside. Glad you enjoyed seeing them, and thanks for the warm welcome

very nice author

Thank kushpatal!

Congrats, well done

Nice Job Congrats

Thank you to everyone! So glad you enjoyed my entry, and what a welcoming!

Just add some pounding disco beats and you're ready to go!

Nice work!

Bummer that the spots aren't real rendered reflections. All in all, pretty cool.

Thanks MossyB - means a lot coming from you... When do you think Pxleyes will start animation competitions because this would look amazing animated.

@ Secretsather... actually the spots are real caustic light reflections coming off of the mirror ball. Apart from boosting up the vibrance a bit in photoshop, this was the final render.

lights reflection is good but needed to fix disco ball it having triangle's in bottom and top area .you should use sphere in low res and then fix the triangle and then subdivide mesh level so then it will be all polygon like real disco ball.

Hi Prem. Yes I did realize that, but then I though... this could be a new design, using triangular shards at the base, because they can receive more light from os single source spot.

Pastel disco...lol

I wanted to capture the beauty of the butterfly - and how better than with a stunning Monarch butterfly. I was inspired by the Pxleyes blue

nice color....

Thank you!

NICE

Really nice job of capturing the illusion of creases and folds, but they are all too jumbled together, with no clear focal point to the image.

Thanks for the comment MossyB. I was trying to create a look of clutter and "jumbled"ness for this composition to give it the look of a pile of these things have fallen to the floor. To see one on it's own have a look at the SBS.

love your frogs just use a toppish view to solve the issue
