Waiting Of Inflow (nudity), Andreas Hebel (3D)

[Tilstrom]

very nice work indeed, well done. the skin looks fantastic.

[TroisD]

:eek: What a amazing picture! If i believed in fairies then I would have thought it was a photo.
Only crit I've got is the background picture if it is one. It looks a bit strange in the upper right corner the rocks seems to be cut out. The rest is just awesome!!

BTW Dit you also create the water?( fluid effects)

[AndyH]

The body looks real! Photo real! (its not a photo, is it?) But the head looks very CG and a little too big. It might be the sharpness or the contrast of it. Im not a big fan of those wings either.
Great work either way - especially on the lighting and the body!
Its been said a million times before on a million other posts, but.....
"Can i see the wireframes?"

[manacrystal]

That looks simply amazing! What caught my eye after careful inspection is the bottom of her foot. You put a lot of work into that shader to create such an accurate appearance for the way that kind of skin looks. Excellent work.

[wesa]

This is great! Love her skin! Her tanline and her birthmarks! :thumbsup:
Lighting is fantastic indeed...Love the little sand towers, I used to do a similar effect on my sand castles...
But I must agree with you TroisD. The background is not as perfect as the rest. One easy way is to use dof (Depth Of Field). Blur the background more. And when you do that you can build the rocks yourself...

Love it!

[JCFrog]

the most beautiful feet i've ever seen! :thumbsup:

[Mysterious X]

it would've been a master piece...but..head too big..looks like it's pasted in a photo for some reason

[FluKe73]

Looking really great! Have you made any test animations? Either textured or wire would do, it would be nice to see either way.

[Shady_Lady]

Very realistic and fantastic! Very good!

Visit your homepage and I want to ask is she the Poser edited model or the original one?

[hauke]

Wow, very impressive!

[seirim]

really sweet.
I agree with Andy H, the head looks big, but the skin is perfect.
Very good job, congratulations. How many time she took to you?
Can you put she in other pose?
:thumbsup:

[Mike Starwalker]

Flaweless, breathtaking... can we see the wire? Please, please, please :)

[hao]

Althought reality in not the only purpose in 3D art.......
but this work still attract my eyes......
really amazing work.....:thumbsup:

can you share us some experience on this work.....:)

[brudney]

yeah, I agree with everyone else, that's just more than perfect :thumbsup:

[funchski]

Please show us a wire.

It seems to me that the main image is a photo (body, water, and maybe the rocks on the left).

The head, left hand, sand(?) towers, wings, rocks on the right(maybe?) and foreground water appear to be the only CG elements.

If I am mistaken then I apologise, but I'm simply calling it as I see it.

Also, if I am wrong, then congratulations on some AMAZING texture work and pretty darn good modelling.

Wires please, to prove me wrong.

Mark.

[blasphemy3_d]

Really amazing shader work man. The skin looks completly real to me. Congrats.

[ashakarc]

At first, I thought this can't be true, in fact it is too good to be true. Well, after closer examination, it really didn't matter for me whether there will be a wireframe evidence or not. The work as a whole has aesthetic deficiencies in my opinion. These are the very basic rules in design: proportions, color balance, unity, harmony, etc..

To be able to immitate nature that way is a real talent, regardless if it was a paint job, or high end subsurface scattering shaders with full FG, GI advantage. But, there is always this thing beyond any possible and impossible technique which we call ART. It is the "Gestalt" we experience. I just did not have it this time, may be it is only me !!

best,

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Voltaire

[makaka]

HOOOOOOOO. EXCEPCIONAL JOB... is perfect the model, textures but the best for my is the light... my god, is real great M-R illumination
FIVE STARS man

[morinaga]

Awsome work, I love the texturing and your shaders.

[celmar]

well, I really like to see a wire... of course, if 3d, the shading-texturing-modelling is exceptional... although the head seems to me too big, but it's a mistake easy to correct... if you do that for "fun and education", just don't hesitate! do that sort of model for bisness, it's not going to be difficult to work with!...

[ReSeT]

Well, OK, before getting into serious applause let's speak my doubts:

I would like to see her from different angles, a wireframe and, if you like to show, the textures (color, spec, opacity, bump) of the body. Show us different renders, maybe a girl only render, makes it a lot easier to figure out how good the modelling really is.

I think, as already mentioned, the proportions between the body and the head don't look right, and I would like to see her neck and more from her shoulders.

And if I'm wrong and it's all CG, completely modelled, textured an rigged, I bow down before you and you'll deserve my 5 stars for sure. ;)

[Adriano-Zanetti]

education purposes... riiiiight! :)

she's perfect, incredible work!

pe@ce

[safer sephiroth]

wing not match with her body (sorry)

[nachofrades]

I am astonished, probably the best CG girl I've seen... educational purposes ? what are you going to do for "production purposes"? :)

[ArtisticVisions]

Agreed, let's see more of the model and render.

[WjK]

great hair ! but maybe too much "black points" on the skin (sorry i'm a frenchspeaker :p)

[nicolasambrosio]

whoo, that's impressive. really fine textures here, the skin looks photorealistic :thumbsup:

[Traxx.org]

Although I gave you 5 stars I am not totally sure if I have been faked! This looks so naturally that it is nearly unbelievable. Colors are a little bit too saturated for my liking, but I guess it fits good to the character!
This image really is an eye-opener!

[Cleveland]

this is fantastic. i'm tempted to believe it's cg because the feet seem just a little wrong (too small and too chubby?) and the far foot is placed up higher than it would naturally lie. it's interesting that i like this more because the mistakes make it a model. oh, and the sand towers...

[tims3d]

can we please see some wires?


thanks

[CuTnPaste]

No words.

:drool:

[niva]

Head too big? Nah, beautiful work.

Please post wire, I want to see how much of the background was done in 3d. Great use of mental ray.

[MoMaZa]

Gr8 Work
Front Page Stuff

[J.K.Makowka]

Show us some animations ;)

Great work, I also like the stuff on your webpage.

[JasonCamp]

good skin water sand ,, model even the wings are done well.. i even like the piled up sand ... heh , oh yes she is hot too

[ANARKY]

WOW:eek:


Thats amazing. I love that image.
What can I say other then superb!

[onlooker]

Gorgeous! Looks like Aspen, and Grace mixed together. I'd like to see the wires.
Just made my new desktop picture too. :thumbsup:

[Scripatch]

Thank you all!!

Yeah i like it its a work of art but some animations would be nice.

[Woodys3d]

Very good one!! She's really beautiful. Perfect!!

[koncz]

I'm really impressed by this work, it's just excellent :thumbsup: .

Georges.:)

[seger]

Those mud things are brilliant. Gives the whole thing an innocent mental backdrop and keeps it from being uberkitsch. The fact that her foot shares space with her wings is a classical don't. You don't always have to abide to what they teach you. But in this case I wish you would have.

[Cleveland]

Thank you all!!

hah! that's to all those naysayers. this is really great. you wouldn't happen to have her in a neutral pose, would you. love to get a look at her lines. (i'm a newb looking for direction...)

[LeeSalo]

I pretty sure I can tell 3d from reality and this is one BAD ASS piece of 3D. that said I do have one small crit ( hard to find on this model ). The right thigh, and I suspect the left as well, tapers funny. right below her ass there is a rather large indent, then her leg procedes to get thicker right befor the knee. take a peek at the gif I attached, it should help explain what I'm talking about.

man those are bloody nice textures:drool:

There is always one or two like you in the crowd.Jealous ones just like you ,thats the bottomline.:p Can you do better?Show us your best,than you can talk.

As for the girl,she is great,wonderfyul beauty.Great and exceptional work.:applause:

[visionmaster2]

Very good Rendering and textures.
the light is superbe.:thumbsup:

But, i have a strange feeling about the modeling... really sorry to say that, but the wires look like a 2003 Poser model...Victoria 2. is it ?
if yes, its a more exceptionel rendering :)

:applause:

[Matt_Forcum]

no words...

...should have sent ...a poet...

[Shady_Lady]

Hope Victoria 10 can have something like these.

[DimitrisK]

This is fantastic work!!! 100% realistic. I just showed this to a friend, and he wouldn't belive me that this is 3d. I had to show the wireframe... I hope we will more of her in this forum. By the way, what's her name?

[Escaper]

Excellent!! So detailed, so good textured... its really feel like human figure, not the broken Poser ones :) Great work!

[hertzchim]

No, that's a photograph you took of a real-life fairy on your holiday in Spain. No way is that an animatable model. No way. It's just too awesome. Gotta ask the obvious question - you got any skinning-testing anims we could cast our eye across? Please......

[how come this pic isnt plugged?]

[ReSeT]

Thank you very much for proving. You are a real CG-Master.

Here you got my five stars. ;)

[LonTree]

hi man,

i visited your website, too. all i see is Poser models imported in Maya. you have even used some default mocap animations on them.
are you sure this is your model and texture? it's no coincidence that there are so many people asking you to show the wire. i join them.

even if this isn't your model, the lighting and composing are pretty good.

[overcontrast]

very cool and realistic man... awesome job here.. but i guess i got a lil crit... well the thing is if its a fantacy image then the farry should always b nude, so there sudnt be any lighter skin (the lighter skin under the bikini after tanning)... if i were u i would make the whole body tanned.... but with out that its just a fantastic work, cant believe i didnt saw it in frontpage (or mayb i missed it)

[celmar]

ok ok, no doubt... you're a real good modeller, and stronger if possible on texturing!... let's come more work from you, I'll be happy to look at!...

[z4n]

wow! I can't believe!!

great work! :eek:

[orion 77]

i love it. its great. :thumbsup:

[blueglitchman]

omgoodnes!!! great work :thumbsup:

[Ramtin]

I have not any for say , and I wondering for ur influence using man ! :scream:
just 100 stars from me :thumbsup: ]
Good luck .

[j3st3r]

Stunning, and I`m convinced that it`s CG. Can you share your skin shading and environment settings?

It would be nice education...

[LOTK]

Wonderful work!
Nice pose, and scenery. Light makes the difference and everything looks cool.
You said its fully animated, can we have a link on something or something you will make in the future?

[Scripatch]

Yes I share the skin shading and environment settings. probably next week i put the scene on my site

[3mm]

great work!

lighting & texturing are perfect ,modeling the body is perfect too,but the head is too big.

[robtl]

well,I don't know how to say my feelling.
Great!

[Neverwhere]

Ok... I can't help it... here's some more ohs and ahs from me... :D That's a modelling and texturing masterpiece. No comment on the environment though, cause I'm sure You could do better than just some water and the sky...
Now... not showing us at least a sneak peak on the production details means that either there's something fishy about the work You don't want us to know or You're mean and selfish :D or You simply have no time to do it. I hope the third possibility is the real one and soon You'll show us something more.
Very, very nice work, anyway. :thumbsup:

[Scripatch]

thus one more time:

[AlexMateo]

weyyyy , its a cooool woman good work man. :thumbsup:

[new23dee]

great flesh tone and face . head looks a little large though. other than that, a very nice.....piece!

[Jumpy777]

That looks amazingly real. You even went as far as to do tanlines, a detail person I see.

[j3st3r]

To be honest, I`ve got doubts. As I checked your website, I haven`t seen any similar quality job there.

I`m really curious about the hundred of deformers you mentioned, and the binding pose. It looks so perfect, compared to your previous work...

I`m sorry for that, but we have seen many poser models here claimed as self-made. And it`s not against you, and your artwork.

The artwork is really a perfect one, and I don`t think that the head is large. I gave my five stars.

[Scripatch]

CHARACTER SETUP (http://www.mayatime.de/images/InflowSetup.jpg)
i dont need to put poser charactes in my gallery. i model realistic human in 1-2 days.
texturing, shading, environment and prepare to render is more time expensive for thus art of work.
I was some month jobless, was a few time to make qualitative character, setup and rendering.
for this pose I have separated her from skeleton to do better deformations.
it was first try mit influence objects and i am not really happy with all and the new art of skeleton i used.
i hope i have some time to do animation complete. in moment i work hard on commercial project.

sorry for english

[j3st3r]

Many thanks, it`s really cool solution.

[Skyalmian]

The only crit I have of this awesome work is that it isn't in 1600x1200x32 @ 100% JPG quality. :(

Her head looked a little too large at first, but after taking a better look / some envisioning, it isn't, really.

[Matt_Forcum]

Her hair makes her head look bigger than it really is.

Sometimes my fiancee's head looks HUGE!

(dont tell her I said that...)

[Chrono000]

ive read all comment befor me and i still think this work is 5 star.

[lrf]

This is wonderful work. For me, as long as the work is produced by the artist and not a rip of someone's creative work, thats all that should matter. The most important factor in presenting any work, is the end result. No consumer buying a video game, a DVD, or a comic book will care about a wireframe, or the tools used to produce an image or animation . This artist has nothing to prove to anyone. What makes so many in this thread, judge and jury? Either praise or critique a presented work all you like, but attacking a person's credibility, with little evidence is less than adult.

[animet]

i dreaming about her.......:thumbsup:

[SuperXCM]

5 stars for me!:thumbsup:

[Downwrdspiral]

Very nicely done. When my girlfriend saw this one she couldnt believe that you hadnt just added some details to a photograph.

[Scripatch]

it seems the moderators here too think as your girlfriend, they have voted down and killed my babygirl for CG Choice Gallery.the Misogynists. I cried... :cry:

[j3st3r]

Andreas,

To be honest, I still have serious doubts too, but I think it`s a top quality artwork.

Maybe you should`ve post more wip images. For example a shot of the model wireframe before binding (the T pose), or some watermarked textures, etc. Your website really doesn`t show up any similar quality artwork, so I think that`s why the moderators voted down. There is no evidence, that it`s not a Poser model, while there is not evidence against it.

The wireframe and shaded view didn`t show too much. The topology is not clearly visible (which ius crucial for deciding about it`s origin), and the shaded model doesn`t show too much of the textures, and shading technology you used.

Skin shading is the holy grail of a CG artist, and on this image it`s perfect. Too perfect, we see tiny hair, sand, etc. over the legs, the butts, and the fact, that you didn`t share nothing to evaluate naturally rised the question, how much this image is original?

Actually, I went through the same thought many times, whenever I look at this image (actually the wallpaper on my home desktop), but I can`t answer. Only you can, and maybe if you share more information, the moderator will give the deserved place in cgchoice gallery!

[Scripatch]

I am sorry for my last post.i became so frustrating. :banghead:
the moderators here probably none Misogynists. Steven voted for me. It was pleasant for me
i think the choice gallery is influenced from the industry (publish a books too), they regulate for modern art certainly.
i studied works in choice gallery, a lot of it fakes a 2d illustrations. dark tones, pale or dirty colors will receive more likely a award here.
this work is too realistic it is not entered in the standards established here.
i am sorry, I again complained :cry:

[drkangel549]

ok im in 3d design class right now and i jusy know one word wow great job

[WanielJorge]

:applause: A perfect and fantastic work man, congratulations! :love: I want to see the wire.:thumbsup:

[Noodlz]

yes please show us the wire, need to see how this was done! its so good i cant believe my eyes! :thumbsup:

A great modelling job and I think she greatly resembles the Singer/Actress Natalie Imbruglia (Aussie Aussie Aussie ...)

[criztu]

i like this girl, shes beautiful, but the image lacks appeal.

1. the BG is awfull
2. she's not looking at me, that makes me feel an intruder, i'd love to see her looking at me
3. those sand castles are ambiguous at least, obstructing her body and not so convincing sand work, but something unpleasant to see
4. the wings are too insect like, they have to have an angelic appearance
5. her hand doesnt appear to sustain her chin and head, her fingers should touch the cheek, perhaps the intention was to suggest shes playing with her hair but doesnt convince me
6. i see a lot of accents of specularity on her feet (soles) but her face barely has some specularity. i would leave the rest of the body in less light and put more work on lighting her face
7. and something has to be done with her nipples, they are too anonymous like they are now, why would you undress her if i wont be able to see her nipples ? :D

[FluKe73]

criztu: Jesus! Your day doesn't seem to be good today. Is your name Critz-u? Just kidding... But most of your critz oh sorry crits is a matter of taste. I like the sand creations b'qoz i made the same when i was a kid so it was fun see in a 3D environment and about the environment in this picture - i like it. When it comes to the nipples, sometimes it's more sexy to just be able to imagine instead of seeing stuff right infront of you. Another thing... i like that she looks away, it makes it look that there is something else in the environment as well. The wings are also a matter of taste, i like these wings. On the 5 and 6 i can agree with you ;-)

[matobarros]

5 Stars. No discussion. I love her madly and insane!

She's awesome!

[Quorax]

Awesome work
