The basic black and white refers to the frames (if used) and NOT the actual images in the strip....please re-read the rules before making any other "administrative comments" ....

(5 years and 3241 days ago)

Maybe that was a bad idea
avatar CrystleClear

the rules say "only basic black or white to display like a comic strip."

I think ripples would add to the realism also, how about a wavy spline ~~~~ and rotate the same way as you made the glass.

Cool idea but still needs a little work just to Increase the realism. The render is not bad but could be improved im guessing this is a HDR environment do you have any lights as well? If not then add one directional light not to strong to help reduce the noise with no shadow type and 250 samples to start with. The water drop is good but looks un-natural due to there are no ripples in the waters surface adding these will improve the realism.

avatar korporaalkaaas

i just startet in 3d art or whatever it's called
but i think the neck looks a bit weird as goobymook sed
maybe because the neck is really thin
remember that the glass is also a few mm thick
also you couls try to make the beer in the neck just a bit more the same colour as the neck
i'm not a pro or something trying to share some wissdom
it's just something i noticed
becides it looks very realistic

Great shot! I love it. Have you tried to crop out the building? Perhaps it would give more the idea of a hydrant in a desterted place. Maybe it would look even more unusual.

This is good...still some room for improvements.I f i was you i would use a paper box with more "texture" for the walls (to give a wet / dark / scary surface).The "death row" nail is a clever idea.I would place a "power lever" & a nail "guard" some where in the "room".Placing a corner on your frame adds a lot (isolation) but you could use a wider frame to include the chairs legs.Color is good...mysterious / cold.Every thing else is great IMHO & i especially like the electric evacuation!
Best of luck author.

Very nice! I bet you could become very pixilated from drinking this beer...(ok, sorry for the bad pun :P )

I like the condensation overall, but nearing the neck of the bottle it gets to look a little less realistic. also, i would add more shadows underneath the bottle and glass, they look like they are floating.

Great job author!

Perhaps maybe through the screen of a CRT monitor you dug out of a dumpster, but through a LCD 22" widescreen, I see the background of the globe very well. You even turned it upside down like it should be.

Holy crap! I just saw your SBS! YOU MADE THAT globe in a 3D render??? I'm impressed! GL!

The background of the snowglobe is pitch black...Even distorted, some of all the ambient lighting from the tree lights should be visible.

That said, this is a very well done image.

Was this a fortune cookie idea first? Nice take on the theme but maybe highlights are just a wee bit blown out. Maybe bring down the brightness a tad. GL!

To be honest I don't think the blue lightning works well... it makes the cookie look like it is 15 year overdate

Gee Mossy, you got a lot of nerve. You've never entered a single 3D entry. I may come here and glance upon some of these 3D entries and there might be flaws but I'D NEVER critique without showing I know what I'm talking about. I like it and have no idea how to work 3D and base my vote on face value. GL!
