nice idea.. some suggestions: 1) i feel the clouds could remain within the picture itself.. the effect does not work well with the clouds.. 2) at high res, the water comin out of the picture appears blurred, probably because of resizing... This part of the ocean is most important in this effect, so it should be very sharp and clear.. hope it helps u.. gl

nice gl!

very playful and fun.. good luck author

nice

Like the idea =] well done

I agree with hsbee, the clouds dont look very good coming out of the frame, the water looks excellent tho

I really like this image!! IMO I would make the clouds on the outside of the frame as "thick" as they appear inside the frame..Hope that makes sense...Good Luck

nice idea

Great!

Funny effect. In case you want to keep on using the clouds outside the frame, then why not using the ones that are in front in the original image? There'll be a better connection than how it is now (going from dark suddenly to light). Good luck!

i think you should leave the clouds inside the water is enaugh to go out ncie work

nice

I would reverse the shadow of the frame because the emerging water has light from the left. Easily done if the shadow is still on a different layer. Good luck!

Interesting...

I like this composition!! Nice job!

nice

nice texture you've created here

He-he-he, you have incredible imagination, Author

Congrats!

nicely presented well done and goodluck

excellent

This is not coming together for me. Is that a fence or a music staff? Why aren't all the curves smooth? If it's a music staff, why are the notes on the ground? The straight-on view of the guitar makes it seem so flat relative to the fence thing. I think a more dramatic background is what is needed.

great

Well done Author........

cool! i like it!

This is a nice image, well done

very well done... gl

good

I love it!

\m/ Nice guitar!

This is very well done. Its a blues guitar, of course.

nice job

Looks perfectly done even in high res

cool guitar, gl! (nice SBS, too)

Wow! amazing work

Bravo great creation

this is really cool, well done on a good entry

cool!

I never thought to make a scene using basic elements in 3ds max......but after seeing this.....I would have to think about it.....nice work

good work

Lovely work!

Very realistic! I love it!

Very realistic! I love it!

great idea author

Looks nice 0_0

Cool, except for the steam -- should be wispier IMO, and probably doesnt create much of a reflection. The angle of the handle reflection seems off as well (too far from the real handle, I think). And why doesn't the white table-top oval shine not affect the tea-pot reflection?

Very Nicely done Author.

AUTHOR.. maybe you could add a little fairy hiding behind the teapot taking a whiz... would make it more realistic? FLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (running for my life)

EDIT:Seriously,, your last comment author made me choke and I had to run to the bathroom and ralph.. my tummy hurts now.. giggle snort

Anyone else have a little difficulty mixing 3d renders with pure Photoshop entries? I do. This is gorgeous, author, but I think someone using 3d rendering programs has an apple/orange advantage over us good ol' PS choppers. Feels a bit like someone using DA artwork. ; ) Just an observation.

good

ZING

Looks great!

Not bad! I agree with Dan about the steam reflection, for some reason I expect it to be less visible than it is right now. Good luck!

nice job

lol, every time I see this teapot I remember my first attempt with 3DS )))

Congrats!

Congrats!

COOL!! I like this one!! great job

wow!!!looks real

Super High mark.. just one question.. WTF??? I hope some universal sized KARMA will bless you to give you back all the time you put into this.. YOUR SBS INSANE.... I'm exhausted just reading it and I didn't do ANYTHING... BWHAA HAA.. If you don't place in the top 5.. I will be surprised..heheheh..good luck author.. JUST AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF WORK.. just WOW

I've never tried VRAY render.......as compared to whole scene tat intense blue aroumd photoframe and light........ bothers me rest is gud..........

Nice work.... The whole lightning and setting of the blue room looks so soothing... I mean the picture looks so calm...

I'd love to have that living-room...Looks great on high res!

great work nice effect

Just WOW! at first I thought it was a picture of a real living room that was given a blue overlay and had the red/green removed, but then I looked closer and looked at your SBS and dude this is just awesome, totally awesome! well done

Great command on 3D max, Nice modeling and awesome work

Goood one!

It looks very chilled out!

nice but its suppose to be photoshop right

fantastic job

Talk about a lot of blue. Wow. Nice job, though!

i would actually live there lol @pixel, we are alloed to use other software now mate its in the rules

Wow, looks so real

Very stylish room, really well made, thanks for the sbs,

I would personally crop out most of the boring ceiling. The empty fireplace opening (which doesn't seem to match the lines of the surround) is a deficiency. The furniture is cool but seems oversized relative to the back wall (or the back wall is undersized relative to the furniture).

Cool looking room. Very stylish and freshy......... great job Author.

very nice!!

Calm...

Pretty nice furniture and I like the light. The cat is looks good too, haha . I agree with Dan about the ceiling though, it could be cropped a bit. Good luck!

Looks extremely real. 99% real. To get the last 1% you have to add a shadow in front of the couch(closest to the window)I am not saying a very thick shadow. You just enough to make it look as if it is not floating above the ground. You don't have to change it if you don't want to. Looks really good anyways.

nice job

nice render, quite some work in 3D

congrats

Congratulations for 3rd, really cool room lol

Congrats!

congrats!!

Congrats! Way to go! Great entry!

Congratulations.
