made the textures, applied material and rendered + detail render

stuck on a business trip, shabby room above the local small town pub could be worse...

[rocneasta]

it's been a while, lot of projects work and SMC

another simple one - to play with - might even give it textures to make it work - not too difficult (6 min modeling just to pass the time on my break)

[rocneasta]

was fiddling around showing a friend the hair and fur, ended making it into a geometry and kinda looked at it from a macro perspective - so i made this easy scene

i could end up populating strains of grass with snails that are tucked away safely during the sunny part of a day... reckon with a good texture work and DOF it could look nice

just a previz of the scene

[paulius-st]

nice work . this snail scene could end up as great still image if you texture it good

my thoughts exactly

[rocneasta]

14 618 circles involved in this bump texture - model is a simple plane 2x2 segs, unwrap, Turbosmooth and binded to space warp Wave to change it from being flat

[rocneasta]

few models i did for SMC this week - so you don't think i'm slacking off

some were even textured, but it's all about the modeling so i'm showing clay

[rocneasta]

one more

[Chris.Y]

Oh man you should really make a low poly prop from this one (normals etc) !


Great job on all of them of coarse

[rocneasta]

cheers Chris.Y - it just might be a good model to start with... i've created high res textures for it, just didn't make the UVW for the SMC competition... perhaps this is the time to do it on a low poly

[rocneasta]

any smart ideas on creating a scene like this?

now making an ocean via noise, displacement modifiers, maps and or A&D template water (ocean) isn't a problem - getting it realistic is.

If i was to make a plane that moves across the wood and mimics the curves or the main shape, would i achieve the same desired effect - how about the texture (depth of colour etc - most of the time it's all flat looking)

anyway if there are any ideas out there i'll be happy to hear them out. will start on this soon.

u wanna look in to vray material settings, and u can achieve realistic water with a good material.

http://www.vray-materials.de/

search for water materials here, dl them, apply them, understand why are they looking good, or why are they bad. By the time u figure out, u'll make a realistic water in 10 mouse clicks, and by changing 5 different values in the mat editor.

any chance of doing the same with MR?


***fully knowing most of cool things can be easily done with VR but i don't have the $$$ for a licence right now***

[Cordero]

ahh, sorry mate, can't help you with MR.

Tried that out a few times, but I didn't really like it. But I would suggest to search for a free MR material database, and look how pros do it.
