Unpredictable Contact, Wei Ming (3D)

[youngpaddy1]

All i can say is, thats bloody amazing, the textures and shapes of the rocks adds a little hint of a fantasy realm, really beautiful and simple, in a crazily complex and detailed way. :D

[jonathanpatt]

Awesome! I especially like the top right corner with the brightly lit clouds.

[NauticaC]

Holy crap! The reality of this object is amazing due to the texturing you used. The lighting makes the scene. 5 stars from me!

[ms@zx]

my goodness,the whole thing rocks~~!!the clouds are simply more than just amazing~~keep rocking man~~:)

[stephen2002]

I really like it, the whole scene is very majestic, yet the ship is menasing at the same time. The lighting is very nice, and there is an incredible amount of detail everywhere. I would love to see this in higher resolution. I can't find anything that I would change, excellent piece!

[Mirwen]

Amazing work man :-) You have got really good sense for detail. But in my opinion you should post this in 3D gallery, not in 2D

[bernoccoli]

there's not much to say.. awesome!
love those volume lights and the general feeling.

[Dutchman]

WOW! Just ÁWESOME STUFF! I really really like the shading, texturing and lighting! You made me save it into my 'amazing CG-stuff'-folder! :bounce::thumbsup:

[tienj]

amazing work..~~~! keep workin ~!
i really like the mood..

[mbatten]

As a whole, I find the piece to be pretty nice. Here are some criticisms I have:


You say "i guess we are not only life form in the universe. so i draw a huge space craft appear in the cloud." Well, that may be so, but where is this space ship hovering? It's not earth. I can tell because last I checked earth doesn't have floating rock soft-serve. :D For all we know it could be the home planet of the space ship. This destroys the anticipation of human/alien contact. :sad:
All the light from the ship is blue. Is there not a single source of light in the ship that emits a different wavelength of light?
It's too much like Independence Day. The central energy core thing: does a big weapon lay in wait there? I'll bet there is! Who would have guessed!
The title "Unpredictable Contact" is perfect. :thumbsup: It's perfect because I can't really tell if this thing is moving. The clouds are awesome, but I can't tell if they are being pushed away by the ship. Maybe I don't have the imagination to see it? Anyways, if the thing isn't moving, it definitely won't make contact with anything, making any contact highly unpredictable. However, as you say, it "appears" in the sky, indicating motion. But I think an object this large would have to displace quite a bit of air as it moves, which would make the clouds whisp around it and lose there fluffy nature.
Is there any terrain?
How about some lifeforms or other signs of life to accompany the ship or the planet?
That's all. :applause:

[adel3d]

Wowww
EXcellent Work ... :applause:

[jy]

very nice!好強啊!支持兄弟一下!能交個朋友嗎!thanks!

[Michael Hovan]

Interesting, what was your design inspiration?

[fgdf]

Great job . It's my wallpaper now congrats!

[D-res]

I have seen many CG images in my day and this is by far one of the best i've ever seen...

absolutely minthttp://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/notworthy.gif

[trafamwa]

There is no doubt it is perfect
but one question related to hardware
What are the specifications of your computer ?

any way thanks for answering :)

[allenweis]

thanks for your reply
my computer is pentium4 3.0
1000 DDR SDRAM
win xp professional

[keitaro]

REFRESHING! My sincere congrats!!!

You see ... there might be place for critisizm here but I think we are dealing with true talent here. I don't know if you took part in the Grand Space Opera chellenge, but friend, I am going to be honest with you: If you added a small battle beneath this scene and a litlle bit more dynamism to the ship and clouds I swear you would have won the Grand Space Opera challenge. Maybe I did not follow the challenge very closely but from what I saw there... you could have kicked everybodies ass there! I truly admire what you did here. Keep it up!:thumbsup:

[THE Code]

WoW man , after you shucked me with an amazing work of art out there, and dazzled with the over whelming credit you had ( and you really deserve it indeed) , I took a break and tried to study it; to learn from it and I get my self in the following argument I hope you will have the good heart to hear it out:

the space ship appears it's like reducing speeds in shuck and fears in back motion due to the new environment found it self in (which serve the idea of contact )
But the clouds surroundings the ship is organized specially the parts close to its body in a way it gave me the feeling these are flamey clouds getting out of a burning ship.
I liked the blue color you chose for the ship interspaces because it gave me the feeling that it's coming from a different source of life in there but one in there culture.
I hade the feeling from the ship structure that it's falling apart thanks to the very fare parts of the ship or it's like a war gun space ship machine designed after a sea creature
I agree that the space ship is not contacting earth but again I felt from the back scene of the rock that they are not all floating but organized in a certain pattern
then I forced my self to stop viewing that work of art because I believe that it wont be art if we did not have that strange feeling in front it.

I like the light in this piece. Very nice!:bounce:

[blackwulf360]

OMFG :bowdown:

[badbreff]

Vastly amazing...




I like how you don't see the terrain, but it is definitly hinted at with the rock columns. You can just feel where the terrain is without the artist having to worry about actually doing a terrain that could possibly disrupt the image as a whole.
The attention to detail is amazing as well, I can see the clouds stretching as if the object moved through them, and is being led out of the massive clouds as if it had just left a huge warzone and that is the fog of war left behind. It also appears to be tilted at a slight angle, perhaps an illusion further adding to the idea that it's moving out of the clouds.
It also looks very evil, my first idea was that it was similar to a collosial spider and we're it's prey.
The rock formations are amazing too, I never seen a rock that looks the way you portray them, but they still look amazing.
I did have a "Independence Day" thought at first, but it is definitly not. Different location and style. Great job!

[bzouchir]

And they say nothing's perfect!?

Well I guess they're wrong!!!

Not even dreams would look that imaginary!

great work!

how long did it take you, from the concept design to finish?

[armocelu]

Excellent atmosphere and great textures and detail, what a Rock man!, i like this a lot, but i like it more if it shows a little more of the soil and horizon. Amazing work :bounce:

[Djampa]

Gee!!! Oh Da_n! This is top top top!
You made a great great piece of art there!

Congratulations!

I won't be original if I say - amazing, but your artworks are original so : Amazing!! :thumbsup:

[Garthark]

This is a verry nice peice of work, do you kow where i could get an a2/a1 sized poster of this (but i live in the uk) or could you send me a hi/def pic so i can print it on my university's printer to have as a wall scroll oh and how did you do the clouds in max or do you know of any good tutorials on how to make them as i'm having a hell of a hard time trying to make decent clouds

[Dessun Freewind]

Wow!! Zoom in and look at those details!!

[gui_mends]

All of your composition is fantastic!
Really accept my congrats! :applause:
bye

[R]

excelent image, the only thing I dislike are the rocks at the bottom, i think that are visually strange to the compositon, xcept that its a very good work, 5 stars lightning and texturing

good work

[Arctis]

Though your pict seems very rich and impressive, the global compostion is not very clear to me. But I guess it isn't easy with such a complexity...
Hope you'll post more...

[ynlay]

great work,pageantry :thumbsup:

[pangman]

just insane, I can't wait till i have the software, hardware, and skill to make this type of imagery, I am so jelious, fantastic work!

[diocletian9]

Quite aside from the breath-taking deployment of technical skill, this work has all the qualities of a great painting.

The subject matter and layout reminds me of those fantastic Chris Foss science fiction book covers in the 1970's but the quality of light and the detail is more akin to those dramatic and hyper-realistic paintings of heavy weathered landscapes, so popular in the 1890's.

In fact there is even something of the Turner about this work: I cannot give greater praise

[Attorcigliato.]

wow thats pretty sweet, i need to learn how to make that kinda stuff, r there tuts on this kinda stuff?

[taisir]

who gives that kind of emotional and impressive work 3 or less stars`??? COMMON Guys, give an identification? are some of you jelous and give then the bad points?? if you guys give that work 3 points then be a man and argument this...

okidoki?

this ís really creative and emotional work, which describes the reality and its impression with perfect teqnical 3d realisation!




nevermind,
5 or more ***** from me !!!

Wow - May I ask how you made the clouds?

The whole thing looks great. Took me a minute to tell what I was looking at though :)

[optimus.v0]

AMAZING!

i have never seen anything like it before in my life

im a new kid on the block and these things just blow me away

that is really cool!

[Trower]

What i like most about your piece is that I feel confused and disorientated when looking at it. It's not that the narrative behind what you have created is confusing or misleading... It's more a case of the actual piece is provoking a similar sense in me, to one of actually witnessing something like this tragedy happening.

You've captured the sense of drama... the sense of silent stress-induced-perception, I feel a person gets when in an extremely traumatic situation. In this, you have created a 'sensation' piece.

I remember a friend pulling a gun out in front of me and explaining to me why he had it... I remember falling from a height and saving myself at the last minute with a stray hand... I remember seeing a child get hit by a car... and of course the TV scenes of NY(sept-11) and the Tsurani in Asia at X-mas... Don't get me wrong, I don't feel the same sorrow or trauma over your piece... just that initial uncanny, empty feeling.

I'm not explaining myself at all eloquently at the moment.

Great work... I know that undoubtedly as does everyone... you will produce pieces in the future that (to you) are technically more profficient than this one... I just got something out of this rendering, that is often alien to this type of 'still' work. :)

[hornblend]

great work!

It's great. What i don't like are the small helix rock at the bottoms, they disturb the composition a bit and look poor. The other thing i don't like is that you didn't post a higher resolution version for me to use :)
