As time you can obtain a 3D effect in a 2D editor like AE why loosing time modeling in Maya ?

Yes, too prof. Pxl artistic taste is frozen somewhere in XVIII century. Didnt you notice that ?

Really, your logo is too profesional for Pxleyes, LOL

About shatter. After Effects has a Shatter effect, I use it here

sec. 12. As Mircea say it you can use it on a large font text like Arial and then reverse time.
It give a 3D aspect and has presets like Glass, Bricks and many more. Its very easy to use it

Hi, Sophia. What a jewel ! When did you shot this photo ? Before or after the End of the World ?

Wonderful !
Have you tried to apply a Noise modifier to slum houses ? Look too perfect geometric for a slum. Noise modifier (not abusive) add realism to a wall or ceiling .

I love the white rabbits !

Buddy, you're more maniac than me !! You've created all that tree for few branches? And you rendered all those houses and trees for a DOF background ?

Congratulations, a high vote from me !

Very good skills. I'm sure you used a camera in Max with less than 40 lens. Thats why image is deformate. I use only camera lens higher than 80 except if I want this special lens effect deform

Grass is made with VRay hair suppose. Try to assign an original grass picture as bitmap color. This add more color variation and make it more natural.
Very nice and clean modelling, good luck.

Amazing work, high impressed by your modelling skills in ZBrush. To create all those masks in ZB...its very difficult.
But I dont understand why you use this mediocre render engine of ZBrush. Why dont you move your model into a decent 3D program with good lights and render ?
Once again my congratulations for using this crazy and fabulous ZBrush

Yes, I still remember this style ! How do you find those angles to put the lights ? I know, its secret

Yeap, nice modelling. But why using daylight when VRay has such good interior lights ? Shadows are so unnatural. ! See Ramananjv works, he is a master of lights.

If I'm not wrong..your SBS is not very clear. You' ve made in PS those beautiful silhouettes also made a black&white map. You assign RGB photo as materials to a plane in 3DS Max and put the B&W map on Opacity. If I'm not wrong my advice is to make few supplimentary steps to convince everybody is a 3D work. Again, your silhouettes are superbs.

Appriciate your humour. Very funny, look like a ink bottle, good luck.

You are a master of the lights, you are modelling with lights. I knew who you are from those unmistakable lights.
Someday I will steal from you this secret.

Good and funny.. I love it.. good luck

Amazing ! A true optical illusion ! Is hypnotic.My head is turning.
Did you try it with something else than cogs ? The color is important ? I'm not a good photosopper but i will try to reproduce it with another photo, roots or something like that.

You have an incredible sense of color which help you enorm. I have to work twice or more for a mediocre result. How much do you want to share this secret with me ?
Reflections are still to strong IMO. Your program ( you still work in Bryce ? ) have for sure settings for specular light or highlight, play with.
Your work is too good to not be perfect.

Making of wing veins with ”create shape” is a great tip. I' m looking since a long time for such an idea.I think i shall modifie the edges with ”Topology” presets. Hope you dont mind if i shall use this tip very soon . Good luck, excellent work

XStream ?!?!?! What is that ? nice to see again talented hands and open mind ready to discover new ways. I miss you :

Very good for a first organic. Even for a second or third The real problem is with lights. You can hide or attenuate modeling errors plaiyng with 2 or 3 fill lights from back. For the moment the left/front light is too strong. Good luck

I've seen your work from the first day you uploaded. Since then i follow the improvements you've made. Excellent job for you and for comentors who help you to get a beautiful entry. Good luck.

very good modeling of the petals.middle of the flower is also very good, is made with hair or with scattered lines ?dont understand why this red shiny material, look artificial. usually reflective materials are used to hide modelling failing but your modeling is excellent. a matte material could give a realistic look.good luck, a good vote from me.

lol, nice idea, look good. the photo background on the window is not on the good angle or blur, look like paste it. i know, after hours of 3D modeling this is a simple detail but often details make the difference

yeap, sorry to say it again after dka. the gun machine reflection on the red smiley look very bad for a good work like that. good luck and take it easy with reflections for the future.

light is very inspired, create atmosphere. teeth material is too reflective, an ugly reflection of the down lip. brows are excellent to suggest character personality. eyes are not very worked, could be better.an over 60 % vote from me. good luck.

Another miracle of Photoshop. Looking to SBS seems very easy but I'm sure is a lot of work and talent. My English is too poor to pay all the compliments you deseve. Beautiful

You disappoiment me. I though you are a serious person until i saw this character. Since then I cant stop laughing.

You found the perfect v-ray formula. Can you translate it for me in mental ray words ?

Beautiful render. Suppose render all those scattered Lines for grass take a lot of time. Hair modifier make the same thing with a grass bitmap but render time is also very long.As a simple suggestion.On light rollon,Advanced Effects there is an option named Projector map. If you click on None and then assign as Bitmap a photo with clouds, the white reflection on the ball will be more realistic. Good luck, excelent work.

Nice entry and hair render is very good. As a simple opinion maybe you can check if your 3D program have an option named ”exclude” or something like that. Should be on light parameters and allow you to exclude objects from receiving lights or casting shadows. Good luck.

Wow, your allien is rigged with a biped ! after contest you have to show us an animation. Good luck, excellent work !

Author, LOL. First version is a succesful artistic interpretation of nudity. This one, with the black holes, is simply obscene. Hope moderator is satisfied with the result of censore.

beautiful ! reflections are so nice, undemonstrative, „comme il faut” says french.

wonderful ! i love the snakes modeling and the bump maps.

Very nice work. Dont know what Model Pro is but when you render look for something named AA, anti aliasing filter. Edges look like a saw. GL.

There are two options. 1) you stollen a crown from a museum 2) you are member of a royal family and have a crown in your living room. Good luck, your Majesty !

3d work is difficult. working with Blender which has such an unfriendly user interface is an act of courage. very good work. now I'm sure will shall see better and better blender works. good luck.

I'm not a photoshop expert but i think you must continue on the way open with this entry, to create your own style from here. I see this picture like a poster on the streets, for greens, environment etc. sorry for my bad English, hope you get the idea, good luck.

Why dont you open an office named ”Rent an idea” ? I think will be very succesful. And I'll be your first client. Your imagination is out of limits. As usual you make me another happy week-end.

I can see something metaphysics in those..these...can' t find the English name. Sorry, just kidding, dont throw your computer to my head, really appriciate your effort.

Very nice. As a simple suggestion copy the same maps on Bump and play with Bump values. Render again and results could be spectacular. Good luck.

If you still have the final scene file try one or two render from different position and describe in words what you have done. People dont expect to learn from a beginer SBS, just want to be sure is your work and is made with a 3D program.

Hope the voters will appriciate the real value and knowledge of this entry. As for me...few things dont let me sleep. Suppose you have a variance of Tile map in displacement. OK.In diffuse few colors . OK. But where is from this damn hair which kill me, is absolute fabulous. Could be a very small noise in bump ?Good luck, i'll not sleep tonight triyng to re-create this material.

Dont know how it look in first version but now look awesome. Nostalgically, I can hear old man singing about green fields of his youth.

Very, very good. With a High Resolution this could be also one of my fav entry. Good luck, excellent job

Nope, hair seems to me OK, is normal for a statue. Problem is with eyes. First, look flatten, a problem of specularity or light, second, dont match with the statue idea of hair. And to dont forget: excellent modelling

Oh-la-la! Oh-la-la! What a hot shot ! What a first class modeler ! You have to made a tutorial on that.

”Make me your prince tonight ”

Dices look super ! and the tip with boolean and inherit material is great, I think I shall use it, thanks !

Great ! See you on next contests !
