Resurection, Juan J. Gonzalez Diaz (3D)

[sogan_renderer]

very impressive modeling, lightining, ambiance, textures, etc. etc.. in short: everything impressive in this scene!.. :) congrulations.:thumbsup:

[JCFrog]

:thumbsup:
marvelous!

very good idea and such a good job.
Impressive.

4 stars from me.

[lv-88]

very impressive, the lightning is really good aswell as the modeling, overall an excellent image :)

[Abigor]

this is a great pic. well modelled and well lit. however, i think the volumetric lights are overkill. id like to c this image without them, or maybe with them just subtly showing. rite now, all my attention is drawn to the rays of light instead of to the beautiful modelling, and the great lighting work behind it.

still though, nice image!

[Cronos]

Great work especially the modeling.
The minor thing I would say would be the lightning as Abigor already mentioned. Personally I think it's a little too much.
My idea would be to reduce the volume light completely or to concentrate the volume light in one spot at the steps. Afterward put a person into that light to give it some dramatic expression.

Nevertheless it's a great pic. If you don't wanna work anymore on it just forget my comment.

[EdHarriss]

- That's quite a model.
- The volume effect looks like something from a horror film. :)
- It must have taken quite a while to model all that detail. Good job!

[unwrap]

Nice one :thumbsup: !
I would suggest adding some stars, perhaps the moon on the background. Any evidence that it is the sky actually.

[Jameslsy]

That is really a awesome work done by lightwave!

THUMBS UP!

[StephanD]

Yeah that Lightwave sure is talented.

Great piece Juan,Czech cathedrals sure look impressive and your style is very refreshing :)


Keep it up

[Shaka_x]

Amaaaaazing dude. I love it........i don't know what else to say.

[lovisx]

the attention to detail is impressive.

[Joblh]

Wow! That looks really amazing :eek: (reminds me of the transformation of Fiona in Shrek 2 ;) but that was blue light )

[juanjgon]

Thank you for your comments, and of course, thank you for the front page :)

Here you have a solid image before texturing or lighting, and a wire of all scene inside Lightwave, after model all elements in Modo.

[Dija]

Amazing. Outstanding piece!! Nothing more to say.

[JeroenDStout]

I find it a very nice model - the streaking lighting is way over the top for me, really. I prefer the lighting of the day-lit image you posted.

Thumbs up, though :)

[arrastrao]

muy bueno todo el trabajo, felicidades

[wayfaerer]

I like it very much! Beautifull model and great ambience! Should be a scary view for someone who passes by :)

[ralphmanning]

Great concept with the light shining out like that - Well executed with awesome photo-realism. I really like it.

[Oneironaut]

Nice work, the modeling is cool and Im really feeling what you did with the emmiting light.

[Julez4001]

Did you use multiple spot lights for volumetric light or one big pointlight with volumetrics on?

[Luciferul]

the details of the building and the light are awsome. I really like it.

nicely done.

[hermine]

good idea and nice render.

[jdsb]

thats pretty SOLID work man:thumbsup:

[loocas]

It's a very cool picture man! But, I'm from the Czech Rep. and I don't recognize it (well, it might just be my lack of history knowledge thou), where exactly is this cathedral from? What city and what is its name? Other than that http://www.cgtalk.com/images/rating/rating_4.gif from me man! :thumbsup:

[joshcxa]

Ah very nice, As mentioned before a moon and/or stars in the sky would look good. Even another little cliche of someone on the steps.

good work

[lsj]

very good! It is beautifull!:thumbsup:

[ynlay]

greet,I like, :thumbsup:

[Don Kayote]

Beautyful image :thumbsup:

But according to the volumetric light, it seems that your building ground floor does not have a celing and the top floor doesn't have a floor :eek:

[casper]

great in great work's ! nice job !:buttrock:

[onlooker]

Wow that's kick ass. Can you pull your camera in closer to one of those surrounding steeple-pillars. Those look really cool. I'd like to take a closer look at their design.

Or maybe you could copy one and render it alone. That would probably reduce your render time considerably. Looks great anyway though. :thumbsup:

[grau]

-great detail and great work
-how long did it take you?
-where is that exactly? the architectural style is rather uncommon, especially the windows

[TuroAzja]

Perfect church detail ! Nice lighting and very good texture
Good work!

[ven]

impressive work !! ..
lightwave rulez :eek:

[shrinkingviolet]

looks very nice. would love to get my hands on modo. brilliant stuph. :thumbsup:

[juanjgon]

Again thank you for your comments :) ... i am now rendering the hires print version, with minor changes in textures ...

Volumetric lighting has been made with spotlights with volumetric effect inside Lightwave. As i say before, it is inspired in a old drawing of a chaletdral ... i have no source to see what building is, but it have a lot of "free" details, so i dubt it is close to reality.

[mufti]

Enhorabuena juanjo, un trabajo increible. Me uno a los comentarios acerca de las luces volumétricas, si las bajas en intensidad creo que la imagen ganará muchísimo al perder esa espectacularidad excesiva que quizá no corresponda con el edificio.

No obstante, reitero mi enhorabuena y añado unas pocas estrellitas :-)

[Enayla]

I love the lighting the way it is. With normal lights, it'd be an awesome picture of a cathedral, but little else. As it is, there's a horror theme in it, there's something going on in there, and it's making me curious.

I can imagine walking by it and the light flaring up like that, an electric scent in the air and some strange sort of hum. Very, very inspiring work.

[b-element]

Impressive it have a very good atmosphere, simply perfect in all aspects of 3d work :applause:

[telamon]

another amazing masterpiece from you Juan. I am a fan of your artwork.

I'd like to see how difficult it is to handle your objects in layout and I would greatly appreciate to know a bit more about your modelling technique.

[ipdesigner]

*three thumbs up!!!:bounce:

[francescaluce]

great work juan !
I don't share with the others the horror theme..
it seems more a big rave party in an old church
:)




/f

[pangman]

wow, I am impressed, the church is phenominal, but if I think anything sets this picture off just right is the volumetric lighting. excellent!

[ssj5rafael]

Nice job man :applause:

[Shardana]

really impressive work!! how did you manage all those millions of polygons? any special technique or you just have a monster pc?

[cserbuj]

Great job Juan, as always. Perfect modelling. I like the second image, where the good modelling can be seen. It really gives an idea of what are we talking about. Kepp it on....

[elektronaut]

respect! ;) high amount of detail! unbelievable ;)

[Goron]

A dark image inspired from a old drawing of a chatedral in Czech Republic. Heavy mesh modeled in Modo, to get a final scene of about 3 MPolygons rendered in Lightwave.

I hope you like it ...

Am I alone to disagree with this piece?
this volume light make non sense for me,
No mood, no point of darkness in this image.
I guess you worked a lot to make this picture,
and I used to see better work from you.
You should turn off this volume light, and put some small point of light,
that will make your picture more illustrative.

Sorry, but i don't like it

[Adriano-Zanetti]

Nice modeling, impressive piece for sure.

However, I'm defenitely not a fan of the atmosphere, volumetric light is not subtle enough for my taste... at a point that it even makes me wonder if it's not there just to fill up holes or lack of textures on the windows.

Another thing that sorta killed the thing for me was the low detailing of all the elements on the foreground, why not putting an extra effort on the stairs and wall in front when you spent so much time modeling a detailed Cathedral.

pe@ce

Adriano

[juanjgon]

Lighting is made to show a diferent piece far from my normal realistic style ... huge volumetrics comes from the idea of a foggy enviroments with a hi intensity lighting source inside it. As you can undestand foggy enviroment oclude any background detalis, like stars ...

Thank you anyway for your points of view ... it is always a way of make better works and to see what people see good or bad in a work :)

[geneticlone]

awsome i like it alot lol, I wish i had modo :P

[BlackGas]

Stunning image, well worth the plug. Always appreciate looking at really nice models.

[beelow]

Your work has motivated me to do something incredible. Great job. Good hustle.:eek:

[RichardColletta]

great use of lighting, especially through the windows and the dust. Did you embellish a bit on the original church design or is this what it really looks like?? Would look nice with maybe a dark brown/orange type clouded sky in the background but, at any rate better than what I can do at the moment. Really nice architectural modelling.

[zalthor]

Resurection is nothing short of magnificent. The amount of detail and work that's gone in here is worthy of it being given Front Page status. A definite plus for any portfolio and if I were a games company I'd snap you up immediately, Senor Diaz!

[Ramon]

I like it very much! Beautifull model and great ambience! Should be a scary view for someone who passes by :)

I agree, it's an incredible model!

As to scary...light eminating from a church, a cathedral, scary?
Well, I guess that would depend on who or what walks by. :D
Personally I think it's a very inspiring image. Warm Holy light that pierces
through the darkness. :thumbsup: I like the truthful concept and symbolism as well as the modeling extravaganza!
By the way, is modeling with modo way better (night and day) than LW or just somewhat better?

[Cygnus-X]

WOW this is a really great piece of art :thumbsup:

[Mefisto]

Very mystical and with great atmosphere... :thumbsup:

[Capn_Camo]

Wowzer, SO MUCH DETAIL! ARGH! EYES! HURTING! haha, well done man, you can tell you put a lot of time and effort into this.

[ffourier]

an other very very impressive work. The lightning is awesome. But what does it occur inside so that is so enlightened ? :)
great :thumbsup:

[wiserender]

Wow! that looks amazing. You can tell the the majority of the surfaces had displacment maps. Yet I'm sure you still got good milage out of your poly's. The lighting is a nice touch as well.

[Gregwid]

Real nice piece,very well done and detailed out real well.:buttrock:

[goktugg]

incredible!:thumbsup: amazing 3d work. all steps wonderful such as modelling,texturing,lighting...:)

[tgfx]

great stuff man...love it...

[juanjgon]

Thank you again for your comments :)

[mijaba]

This one's creepy. I LOVE it! You have much patience and determination. It CERTAINLY paid off. Five Stars!!

[Ramon]

Sorry, but i don't like it

Hi Goron, why would you want a "point of darkness"? The volumetric light, I think, is awesome. Obviously it's about symbolism and what's wrong with that? IE... Holy Light!
And, about being illustrative, ironically and amusingly, the webster's dictionary defines "illustrate" as:
1. to purify, make bright.
So according to Webster, this is an illustration thanks to the volumetric light.:D :applause:
3. to make clear
4. to show clearly; to give an example or instance.
Definition of illustration as:
2b. a picture or diagram that helps make something clear or attractive.

I think the work is attractive!
An "illustration" is not confined to a photographic style of work.

[Ramon]

Thank you again for your comments :)
Again, excellent work!:thumbsup:

[Mortal]

Perfect Volume Light!

[Ramon]

I agree :)

[Ithilwen_Morgilion]

One of the best works i've seen here so far, this is truly a masterpiece! I just looked at it again; beautiful! maybe you could have put some stars in though?

[OTO-ACP]

Good JoB!!!... :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[littleac]

The modelling is great. And the lighting... wow!

[dulixiaoxian]

nice model And the lighting cool :eek:

[mgalik]

[gaianix]
