Little Beast, Farkas Ekho Zsolt (3D)

[F10]

Wow, its perfect!
Now i know what a scared bug feels like.
Awesome.

[TheGiiro]

This can't be a render. No way !

[p0rcupine]

This is a really great image... It looks so real!!!
I've seen iguana and thought about how I would make it in 3D and here it is...
Great job...

I am not sure if it needs to be more bumpy.. It looks good but some areas looks too smooth...
If you did enough research to do this, I might be wrong :p
The tree would look so much better with actual broken and falling apart pieces...
It looks like it's a cylinder with bumpmap on... I would make actual pieces seperately to make it even more believable...

Great job indeed u've done!!!

[Cygnus-X]

WOW textures are perfect great job:thumbsup:

[ThirdEye]

it looks excellent... would you mind posting a wireframe too?

[Zardoz]

Wow, really, really good! i love modelling animals...so this one I had to reply. To me this one should be on the front page...

[ThirdEye]

agreed, front paged :)

[ekho]

Thank you guys!

I am very happy,that you like my little beast:)

Here is the wireframe (only screenshot,because you cant see nothing on the wireframe render(huge polycount:) :

[Lourdelle]

mmhm it's smell like a CG Award here !

very awesome texture / render / modeling /// all
exellent work.

[Jasper Lammertink]

agreed, front paged :)

this guy has a nice first post :P

i agree... its awesome work 5 stars from me!

[DDS]

Everything seems perfect to me. Good job *****

[ekho]

i'm really-really touched.Maybe it is not so special thing for you,but for my first post (and especially for me).

What can i say?

...i'm touched

[rootdown]

The texture is FULLY handpainted with digipad.(yes,all of the squamas painted one after another)

Wow, you crazy masochist. Nice work.

[Tonik]

Great work and excellent texturing !

How did you achieve the Depth of Field ? It looks a little strange in the foreground almost as if you're looking through crackled glass. If it's a post render effect maybe the grain is a little too large ? Also some of the bark might look a little flat.

Deservedly frontpage work though - nicely done.

[LadyMedusa]

Amazing texturing there, I almost tought it was a photograph :eek:
I love iguanas. Very Good job, you really deserved that front page

[Nathellion]

Really good. I've got an Iguana in the other room and the accuracy of the texture on this guy is striking (all those little nuances are there :applause: ). The only crit I have is that the 'grout' is a bit too dark, especially on the main body. Can you post a view of the whole model?

[annisahmad]

amazing!!!

[Dr. Ira Kane]

If that textures are hand painted you must be insane :D I had one of those animals but she unfortunatelly died few months ago, great pets anyway and great render !

[gsuhy]

Wouldn't it be easier to head to local exotic pet store and take a photo? ;) Inspiring texture work!.. how 'bout a wire or step-by-step?

[PUR-C]

Where did you take that foto? ;)

Never seen before an image like this. 10 stars !!

[WhiteRabbitObj]

Really good.

My only crit is that I've never seen an iguana that is that green throughout, especially one that old. Little babies are bright green but adults get to be some green mixed with a lot of grey/orange/black and sometimes even blue.

Here's a photo I took of my pet iguana, Rebok, last time I was home, for aged color reference.

http://www.rit.edu/%7Emjd6897/rebok.jpg


His eardrums should be golden in color too, you've got them green at the moment.


However... fantastic job, this is really beautiful. I only wish we could see other angles, did you model the rest or only from one angle like the wireframe seems to suggest?

Great stuff. Really makes me miss my pet and friend. :sad:

[iguana007]

Very nice work ... I love iguanas and I own one too (already third one).... I think, that ur texture could be little bit more bumpy and there is a couple of mistakes in lower and rear part of the head on your texture ... anyways, these detail can catch up only person who sees iguana every day ;)
I started modeling iguana too, couple of days ago and I would be really happy if my render will be as good as yours.

Keep up ur good work

here is one of pics of my little fella I will use as reference:

[ekho]

Thanx a lot again!

Iguana007: ohh what a cute "beast":)

I will make a new render in a different POV!(side maybe?)

[WhiteRabbitObj]

I'd love to see a side POV myself. I think it's sad that your render looks better than my photograph! Not the iguana (insults to my iguana are fightin' words! :) ) but composition and all.

[cache]

ekho -> you'r one insane guy like said before ;)
congrats ! :scream:
keep up the quality work !!!

and yes, another angle(s) would be great !! hehe

üdv Szegedről ;)

[PixelRod]

Great texture work! Can we see the texture maps?

[Kwago]

Great work and excellent texturing !

it looks like he used Digital Confusion, but I agree, the blurriness is too immediate.

anyhoo, nice iggy

[fabmedia]

Now THAT'S FREAK'N COOL!

I must say that that is one of the best pieces images of an animal that I've seen yet. Very vibrant, detail oriented, and right on the money.

A great work and one to be very proud of.

BTW Great to see that LW has been used. What were/are your stats for the image, rendertime, etc.?

[Pete Latrofa]

This rendering honestly brought tears to my eyes because i think it's so beautiful. i'm a big lizard fan and think you did an incredible job here with this image. Great job.

[jdsb]

pretty intricate your texturing work,5 stars work:p:surprised

[ivaj]

Wow, you had me fooled for a moment. I thought it was a photograph. Great work! :eek:

[unwrap]

Wow. I guess you've had some fun with the handpainting ey :) . Amazing job, incredible realism, congrats!

[chillnlikeamug]

http://www.manhattan.k12.ca.us/staff/speters/iguana.jpgI love this render! Someone mentioned the iguanas coloring was off. A lot of iguanas are a very brilliant green, often lime green ie; blue tailed iguana. I think a lot more variation in colors around the face of the iguana would be more realistic, such as blues, yellows, reds, silver, etc. Regardless of the coloring, the scale placement and bump look perfect to me, as well as the negative space between scales. Even specular highlights on the scales look individual and accurate in a lot of instances. All perfection.

The iguana is missing all the spines down it's back.

Immature iguana don't have a lot or any spines down their backs but the skull structure of an immature iquana is much more stout or stubby. The skull structure of this iguana seems to be slender, more mature. Looks naked without spines/IMO.

beautiful work! Makes me miss Costa Rica!

[tgg]

Brilliant! It looks so real! :thumbsup:

[Ziah]

nice work very nice.. congrats

[gerardo]

:applause: Impressive work! :thumbsup:
LW hasn't micro subpixel displacement yet but you don't need it :D

[shserge]

Beautiful iguana! I love how details done and how it looks on the bark in environment :thumbsup:

[Battousai]

:thumbsup: absolutely fantastic 5 stars :thumbsup:

[loocas]

Man... you sure did what you was going for! It's a very nice model with very cool textures! :thumbsup:http://www.cgtalk.com/images/rating/rating_4.gif from me! :thumbsup:

[DaveLEWIS]

Hi,


Very nice work. I am modeling a Gator Monster, and having trouble with the scales. Care to share samples of your maps for me to learn from plaese?

(our server is currently has some problem,and anything i upload get a "forbidden" message):shrug:

[Tzrnutt]

Front page stuff. Amazing work.

Skin could be a little darker, and the DOF could be a tad more progressive, but still 5 star work!!

[Adamos]

Szervusz!

Nagyon tetszik a képed! És örülök, hogy egy poénba bújtattad az egész fotoreál témát Ez a fotó keret nagyon találó!

Word Up!

I believe this really deserves 5 stars!

Cheers,

Adam

[shserge]

Yea, i like the texture! :)

[vegass]

Amazing shaders and lighting!

[Coltzero]

realisitic textures! great models

[a-slayerIQ]

[Pawnee]

Awesome buddy! Just awesome :eek: :eek: :eek:

:thumbsup:

[jsandoval]

Holy cow! Even looking at the wireframe I can´t still believe it´s a render. Living in South America, I´m used to see this iguanas... and this model is unbeliavable perfect !!!

[_Luka_]

i really must admit...when i had set my eyes on your model...after like a minute or so i thought: this is a fraud, it's a photo. but then when u've uploadad the wireframe and the texturing tutorial...oh man. the only real comment i can think of is: HOLY SHIT!

[geneticlone]

:thumbsup: all the comments have been taken very nice tecture and model.

[Abyssis]

beautyful profi-job :thumbsup:

[Dave3D]

Love the style, and the texturing is pefrect!

Great Stuff!!!

- Dave

[HapZungLam]

i've read your little tut. However, How did you hid the seams? I mean, especially when the creature body blend into the arms and legs part.

[ekho]

Well it is not so hard, all we need is just a good uv map.
Take a closer look; there is a little texture loop at his legs,but not serious.
(this little bug is now fixed;;prepairing for the next render:)

[iguana007]

prepairing for the next render:)

Can`t wait for it :bounce:

[chillnlikeamug]

When are you going to add the spines down his back?

[richardvacheresse]

[GolfRomeo]

Amazing work! Very good job!

[Arkon11]

thats incredibly insane. It looks so real...... what was the render time on that baby.

[Insider]

ekho!
Really really nice work! I'd love to see this animated - perhaps a head turn, a slight move towards the camera, a tongue darting out. Nice!

[eliment]

Wow...... skin is look so realistic very very great job love it... keep up to a good work!

[ekho]

Thanks again Dudes!:)

oookay i'll try to make an anim.! but first i have to make the side render:):)

Holy shit, it looks SO REAL!
Congrats, man, hope to see more of your work as soon as possible, and thx for the tut and wires!!! :love:

[lode]

i love the view of the graphic
color is comfortable
i think make more details in the animal skin may be better ,that is so perfect
and could i know that your filed depth was made in photoshop or 3d software?

[DigiDe]

Awesome telxture, good lay of environment also.

[mijaba]

So real you can SMELL IT! A little blurry in the lower right corner. No other crit's. Top Drawer!!

Five Stars!

[jpthedesigner]

WOW...After looking at stuff like that Ive got a long waaaay to go X_X

[goktugg]

[bahamuts]

Great Job , go on :bounce: :bounce:

[KennyM]

my nightmares of handpainted PS scales had finaly stopped, thank you so much for confronting me with this piece again :rolleyes:

lol just kidding, I hoped to see this image appear here, top notch stuff! great work mate:thumbsup:

Very nice work. Great textures. :thumbsup: Keep it up. The eye is especially realistic.

[miko001]

Madness I say, MADNESS!:)

[BMAXTALK]

perfect... only this.... perfect...

very good....

stars 4....

[AAIMAOMAO]

Very nice work. Great textures.

[Mumia55]

This is a really great job bro, this was the most real picture i ever seen in 3D.

But i got to say something... There's something wrong with the focus... if im not wrong, all the parts up to the first leg are perfect, but if you look down and compare it , it seems like you missed that part, it seems that you putted the same focus lengh as the trees on the background. I think that you should put the focus lengh the nearest possible you can.

Well that's it. Good work, and i wish you present more of your work here!

Congratulations!@!!

[burt0n156]

Un-freakin believable man!!! Ive seen some people critiqing the color and its vibrancy, or lack there of, Its perfect. Ive looked at several pictures of iguanas, and the color is NEVER the same with that kind of animal(specially when considering lighting!).
Bravo 5 stars

would be cool to see another render too: )

[RUNEMASTER]

How in the world can you get a texture like that on a model.Scales and all.please give us a clue.please.

[ekho]

I m working on the tutorial,so be patient! THX:thumbsup:

[adren@line]

http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

good job!

[RUNEMASTER]

Ill be locked tomthis thread.Hopefully Ill get to see that tutorial.Thanks Ekho.

[chilombiano]

i cant´t wait for a skin tutorial..it´s really perfect

[cyrenevjacob]

This is amazing work!!! The iguana looks really cute!!! Keep up the good work!

[anim85jorge]

when you where doing what was the most challenge thing you had to do. but it look so real good job :thumbsup:

[texaco]

[fuguegf]

so cool
good

[kevinh]

[shuaisui]

[PO-8]

wow! amazing beast!

i want to see the tooth and the tongue, now, it could be very impressive! :scream:
this one could be hungry and catch a little fly in the air to his mouth, no? too long to do? hmmm, ok, sorry, this is already a very nice work!

[Djuls]

Great photo-realistic picture !! you do it very well !

[air tiger]

it's perfect!

[Phlox]

great work! :)

[Mike.H]

realy realy nice work there, but i do miss the spines on it´s back that every mature iguana i´ve seen or had (i´ve had 3) has.

add those and then it´s truly a perfect iguana render.

[RedZeppelin]

Simply amazing.:bounce:

[Djampa]

Shoot!

Da_n...:bounce:

Great image! Trully great!
First impact! It is very very good!

Handpaint? I loved it! Congratulations, great effort of yours.
You did a lot on this piece, maybe a lil more detail on the trunk would improve it.
On the Iguana... no comments! Very believable!

Gratz! :thumbsup:

[keyboardnist]

wow :buttrock:
that's perfect .
lighting . modeling .
the texturing is superb.

[Willywo]

So great texture,is like real picture.:applause:

[cambrian]

Looks real to me! Maybe a little more bump effects on the underside.:thumbsup:

[PhuongDPh]

Oh 5 Stars from me of course.
Maybe the DOF is not excel
And I wonder why you don't use MAXON Body Paint 3D for painting textures, and you don't have to work hard on UV.

szevasz! gratulalok! eleg nehez hiheto bort csinalni, neked sikerult. latva a munkadat ujra fogom texturazni egy regebbi munkamat.

[ryanbnjmn]

Truly one of the best Ive ever seen. To hand paint the textures you must not have a life or really love what you do. I know cause I do the same thing!
RB

[ffourier]

wonderful and so realistic. Love the angle of camera and the colours. how many hours did you spent on this work ?

[bokybokx]

Photorealism does make sense!
Bravado work.....

[onlooker]

It's superb! It looks like you got a little blurr over his nose in post, but I'm not knockin it. It still looks way real. Excelent job! 5* :thumbsup:

[minufx]

wonderfull mood and impressiv and fascinating composition

[OTO-ACP]

Yop!!!:bounce: It's very very good job, it's very realistic!!!... :thumbsup:

[kiko3d]

You are definitely a great artist, you must have trained very hard to have acomplished that, do you think an artistic education could help anyone, I mean do I really need talent to do something like that?, or do you think I could learn the tricks of realism on the way?, this is a question to everybody also, if anyone wants to answer.

[PCJ]

That's just nothing but amazing. It looks like a photograph to me. And a good one, too.

[RFX_Shrike]

This is very professional work, my friend. I'm at a loss to offer any suggestions on anything. Your hand-painted textures are absolutely superb. I can only assume you do this professionally. If not, then someone is missing out on an extremely talented individual. My studio would certainly be interested in your efforts, should you decide you wanted to do this as a source of income. Keep up the great work.:thumbsup:

[mogla]

Really fantastic effort, there are so many aspects of this image that are super hi quality.

My only crit is that the skin looks too young for such an old creature and the back looks a bit bare without the horns that usually run along the spine. (I used to keep one as a pet).

It's clear that you have texturing well under control and your modelling skill is unquestionable.

Keep it up.:thumbsup:

[Monkey FunkR]

:thumbsup: This is just gorgeous! It looks so much like a photograph. The field of view adds a great effect to the image. Really helps makes it look real.

I've actually used this picture to WOW people with what's capable on a PC.

Kudos to you!

[joksim]

great work, the iguana is very real, I can't beleve it's made in 3D.
Yet I don't like the background very much, I think it has to much blur
I think you had lack of time or else it would be perfect.
Keep on working, that's a hell of a 3D

[kiko3d]

Can you explain a bit the technique you used to paint all the scrammbles on the reptile?
Cause I think you´d had to developed a technique. You could may do a little tutorial.

[yagi2000]

maybe the reflection of the squama is not enough,the texture is great!

[kamyar-marefati]

its great textures

[pterochromics]

FIrst off, I agree with the other posts re: the impressiveness of the render, especially the texture. And especially since this is your first psted image :)

The only improvement I can suggest is that the background seems too "pixilated", as tho' it might have been a small original image blown up to fill the background. It doesn't do justice to the Critter ;) !

OTOH that's merely my opinion, which is based upon the fact that I'm *generally* not a big fan of the "distance effect"/distance blur - although it mimics photography, it isn't how I personally/physically perceive the world. So my comment is just "FWLIW" (for what little it's worth) :)

All in all, tho', a very nice render.

- Kris Krieger

[TETRAGRAMMATON]

Its skin is unbelievable.

[ptMAe]

The sharpness in the middle and the blurry background is very apealing to me.
Amazing what people are able to establish. Thanks a lot.http://forums.cgsociety.org/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=2127396#

[oceanbluesky]

Hey Farkas -- really impressed! Very interesting perspectve -- now I know what squamas are, too. Would also agree with this "maybe the reflection of the squama is not enough"...and would love to know more about your painting technique too.

Congratulations, wonderful work!

[daimonos]

wow, you got it!

amazing work, i give you five! nothing to critizise!can't imagine you painted the texture a whole....impressive!

daimonos

[Anthonylightsey]

This is just the real thing.
The skin is just stretches and folds so accurately.
I love the blur effect.
You can even see the neck muscles in its neck!

[fluids]

totally realistic. i almost didn't believe this was done in 3d. love the eye. you really achieved what most people can only dream about.
