I think it looks great overall. The caterpillars look a bit weird though.

[funchski]

Nice.

What did you use for the fuzz - Shag, Ornatrix, etc...?

[nachofrades]

very suggestive lighting, nice mood. Only 5 hours? you work quickly...

[dthompson]

Thanks.

I used Ornatrix for the hair on the catepillars and the bulb.

[xcvbnm]

The caterpillars dont look like caterpillars, everything else is perfect.
May be the hair are all pointing up and need some more directions....
I have a ref for you ....

Nice image,but i'm agree with the caterpillars hair,it looks like's in fire anyway i like it

[dannyfalch]

good lighting.

catapliiars looks a bit windy, like they are beeing blown away.
ornatrix?

[Mik2121]

The catapliiars looks like being motion blur-ed ^^u

[dthompson]

I updated the catepillars. Thanks for your suggetions.

[Analog-42]

i find the catipillars look fine.. almost exactly the same as the ones were i live.. i like it alt GJ

[azaghot]

it's a great scene even if the caterpillars are not realistic..it remains 3d not photo so nevermind if they're not perfect,the light is nice...very good

[eug55]

lighting pattern looks kind of familiar...hmm... where did i see it before?

[itsallgoode9]

I'm confused about all the comments towards the caterpillars. Where I live we have catterpillars look exactlly like that.

[wybl]

because the dude updated at the caterpillars so they dont look strange anymore. I dont know what they looked like before but now, they are just great. Lovely piece man. I really really like it. you got 5 stars from me

[Larsen]

really nice and peaceful scene, the lighting and shading make it all !

:thumbsup:

[SoniaNotRed]

Great pic :thumbsup:
Cool idea, good composition and the "hairy" effects worked really well. I'd add a bit of translucency to the leaves, tough... so the plants don't seem so... 2D, I guess...:shrug:

[jbrophy]

Hey Dave :) Long time no see

I want to check out your pic but it looks like the server might be down. Hows it going?

[Kaan88]

great pic,excellent render:thumbsup:

[Ollarin]

Very nice stuff! I especially like the lighting.

I do agree with the previous posts about the caterpillars, they look a bit wierd.

Great job! :thumbsup:

[loocas]

It's wonderful! I love the colors much! :D http://www.cgtalk.com/images/rating/rating_4.gif from me :thumbsup:

[polyman]

Nice job. Just out of curioisity what did you use Combustion for in this scene?

[DUCKORABB]

Hi

Nice and fast wrk! But... the trunk is, like for me, too flat, and leaf necessary some sss, light is good, but a little adjust this one, make your pic cool! Aaaand background, background, background, background! The easy way, for good bckgrd, is any bitmap with blur effect, it's all.


P. S. I love quick wrk, which looks great!
P. S.' Sorry for my "splendid" english language 'n' stuff.

Regards!

i think you need some objects in the background
-if you wanted to finish it off :shrug:

[Self-Designer]

Nice work, man. I wounder how the catterpillars looked like before you fixed them, but that doesn't really matter :)

Anyway, there's a leaf that its connection to the stalk is a bit wierd, like twisted. It's that leaf the is toward us, that one that "touches" (not really) the button catterpillar's butt ;)

And I agree with WilliG, that the background does need some details - doesn't have to be a real 3D, and even very blurry, but something that will give us the impression there are more plants in the background - the DOF doesn't finish that fast.

Anyway, really nice :thumbsup:

[JBoskma]

Nice work man, what plugin did you use for the fur? Ornatrix? Looks good! :)

[dthompson]

Thanks for all the feedback.

I used combustion for some color correction and 3d blur.

I also had some trouble with multiple objects with hair when rendering so I had to render
the catepillars seperatley. However, I figured out how to get around this since then with some setting changes in Ornatrix.

[tahar]

very good conception

[Ramtin]

Bravo and ecxelent . I am so happy cuz of seeing one naturally cg image .
we usually seeing somthings like robots or mechanics models .
anyway 5 stars from me ... :thumbsup:
good luck .

[Luciferul]

Everything looks great to me, the leaves and the catepillars looks cool...

Vell done, nice job

[dave247]

I think it looks great overall. The caterpillars look a bit weird though.

DUDE, catipillasrs ARE weird.

[glenrm]

Just think everybody thought hair and fur was a groundbreaking challenge, in many ways it still is, but this just shows what you can do when you get creative...

[pearl3d]

i think it look very realistic..great work u have done

:buttrock:

[ROBERT GEAR]

nice colour!!!

[VM]

Some translucency in those leaves would be great.
I like the lighting and I don't think you need objects in the background. It's nice and clean as is, and as a personal preference, I'd leave it clean.
