Composition: Lego - Rally Van

[loocas]

Hi there, this is my very first post here, so I hope, everything will proceed well.

Ok, so here is my very last pic. It's a test of my skills, I tried to proof my self If I have the abilities to model, texture, light and render photorealistic object. So I decided to model real lego model I've had since I was 11 :) . Well, everything here is done in 3ds max 5, no plugs used. Modeled in 20 hrs, setup took about 2 hours and final render took almost 10 hrs. Enyoj, and ofcourse, crits 'n' comments are highly welcomed! :)

Actually I tried to send this pic to webmaster of 3dtotal, but I gon no feedback from him, so I don't know if this is not of a high standard they want to publish pictures in theyr gallery??? :(

very nice composite pic - what makes it look so much more realistic is the reflection of the photographer in the mirror - nice touch

I think it is great!!!
and welcome!

"reflection of the photographer in the mirror - nice touch"
however, in the mirror, (maybe I am blind) but I dont see the reflection of the lego car...:roll:

[Emperor]

thats probably cuz the car itself iz the 3d object that was implemented in the picture. The rest is a real photo I think. Or am I totally wrong? Is everything here 3d?. Very nice pic anyway

[lockdown2000]

well i KNOW the lego is 3d but I am saying that the fact that he could some how add the reflection into the window is giving it away :)
*sigh* o'well :)

Well, thanks ya all for comments, but the discussion about the reflection of the van in the "mirror" is wrong! This is not the mirror, it's my desk lamp and its angle of rotation can't allow to reflect the lego van in itself! ;)

Actually, only the lego truck is cg other is real photo...

Thanks again for the comments guys... :)

[lockdown2000]

ah :) Well i think it is far too GOOD for 3dtotal :)

[loocas]

Oh, thanks lockdown2000! ;) But If it's so good for 3dtotal why didn't they publis it? Well, maybe next time I do something BETTER! :mad: :D anyways, thanks a lot!

nice job on lights etc... it would look more realistic if a couple of LEGO pieces are scatter on the desk.

On and nice Howl :D

[lockdown2000]

well...lets take into account they are probably getting hundreds or thousands of submittions a day. Could be the missed it, or they havent gotten around to yours is yet :)

I disagree with LEGO PIECES. but maybe the BOX in which the legos came in should be on the table and the instructions ?

[Andy_k-3DT]

there's no rason to be lego pieces lying around on the desk - the model is complete - so the box is a good idea

A tidy desk is the sign of a warped mind :)

yeah maybe the model is complete but if you were like me when i was playing with lego then you would try to modify the model with pieces of other models :D :D :D

[loocas]

Hey folks, this discussion is getting very well! The lego pieces weren't in the centre of my interest 'coz the lego truck is complete. But you're right with the box and plan stuff! Well, but I didn't take a shot of bigger place, so everything wouldn't fit on the table properly I think? Well, next time I'll do some composition I will think of those details you noticed here! THX men! :D

The moderators have been out to a holiday so perhaps a reply to your email will still come. Anyway, nice job on the lego!

[loocas]

Yeah, I got the mail... The moderator wrote that it's good, but not exactly what he's looking for in this time, so maybe next time... :( But I'm still glad he liked that ;)

[Andy_k-3DT]

I'm just wondering why I didn't get an invite to the moderators holiday :)

Seriously - yeah you are right Tom has been away - dunno why Ifigure he thought he deserved a holiday
