Wreck Of Esperance, Raphael Lacoste (3D)

[Gunnah]

WOW!, just WOW.... Totally nailed the scene :) gorgeous atmosphere.. I really like the fact you used the nice orange keylighting, and still managed to keep the scene "cold"

good job

[ha-dou-ken]

I agree with the above. I actually feel colder after seeing this and want some cocoa now. I would like to see a more high rez version to depict all of the miniscule details. How long to render? How much post? Again, awesome work.

[F10]

Gorgeous detail and excellent lighting. The ice looks a little too much like rock rather than ice for my taste but still a great render.
:thumbsup:

[Raphael-Lacoste]

hi guys I have just Uploaded the High rez version, see on the first post,


best

Raph.

[dioxide]

:bounce: First-class! :bounce: In the beginning I'ma thouth it's a canvas! :eek: :thumbsup:
5*4u!!!

[aphexx]

hey el rafo! f***ing gorgeous! :drool:
thats a scene impression and a very unusual motive.
put up small highlights on the ice (looks like concrete) and/or a wind carrying some light clouds of ice crystals/snow. this would take the image to superior quality.
4 stars

[techdivine]

Gorgeous with a capital "G":applause:

[Ultemate]

Really great work!:thumbsup:
I think it's 100% Award.

[Svenart]

That´s a brilliant work. Very well done.

[comic-craig]

So amazingly painterly- and not Cinema 4D (just so everyone knows- i don't use cinema 4d- but I like its render- no need to start a software argument). This is a great work of art- I look forward to seeing further posts from you

[jenn-yu]

*by the way, can i know your image is fully render in 3dmax or have touch up in photoshop? i really hope can learn from you!

[kyk]

"C'est excellent, le travail de la lumiére est impressionant et j'adore les blocs de glace , dans la compo ça déchire."

Very good work dud . The lighting is great , the render is ... incredible.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Latter]

[pascal_blanche]

duh.. i didnt spotted that it was an artic scenery, i thought it was rocks.. but it works well anyway ;)

[spills]

awesome picture! the lighting is great, the picture looks more like a painting than cg which is really cool.

[Raphael-Lacoste]

Hey Paoscal :)

en effet conscient pour le rendu de la glace, je vais y travailler, mais comme c'est plus un travail de compo que de réalisme ;p

[davidbasalla]

wow, that looks great! great job!
i agree with others that the ice looks too "hard" (like rocks), I guess you'd want some sort of sub-surface scattering effect there...
anyway, love it!

[drummer]

wow !! no words !!

congrats I'm your fan :bounce:

[rhin0]

aw man..this is f******g awesome..:buttrock: 5 stars from me..

[gary-smith]

Wow this is just AMAZING 3D artwork! What was the methods you used to creating this scene? I really like the atmosphere of the scene and the concept. Great work! :D

[KaDDD]

hummmmm, c marrant de reconnaitre un style avant mm d'avoir lu le nom de son createur
ta lumiere te trahis, les couleurs aussi , excellente compo pour changer des precedentes
excellent travail de light et de textures/shaders, la roche , super efficace....

bravo et bonne continuation

[MrElmo]

real great image, but its a shame that your ice looks like concrete, if there would be reflective and translucent effects present the image would be at least 2x stronger

[pierrebixquert]

Oui!! comme dit, m@lonet on reconnaît bien un Style.. propre..

c'est pour cela, que je vous refais ma question.



?? Ce sont vos couleur et lumière, préférer

Merçie ...:thumbsup:

[IcemanJ]

absolutely briliant Raphael :thumbsup: I love you images :bounce:

[Adamos]

5 star composition sir!
5 star atmosphere friend!
5 star all over image brother!

Congratulations,

your Brother, Adam

:)

[wybl]

OMG that looks so good. I just love the mood.

[ruukki]

The composition is, indeed, very very good - alone the fact that the ship points from right to left is a very good idea: this way its advance is blocked more forcibly than it would be if it pointed left to right.
I'll have to agree with F10 about the ice - it could be a bit transparent somewhere - but to tell you the truth, I never noticed until I read his post. Besides, if it's frozen REALLY solid - old ice - how transparent does it have to be?

[hhssuu]

Wow :bounce: this is definately 5 stars for me. I love the colour, lighting, atmophere. The model doesn't seem very highpoly but there is so much detail, your texturing mush be just kickass. And it does look like Friedrich, as you mentioned, i love it. Man you must be one of my favorites, and i loved you prince of persia stuff btw.

[Novak]

WOW, Amazing image, really love it... good lightning and texturing to.


Greetz, Novak

[Joebount]

Oki ! That's why you asked for the ice !
Really nice, except the fact that ice doesn't look like ice, maybe with some SSS or even a slight auto-ilum...

Anyway, nice work !

Oh, another comment, les voiles should fall vertically for the gran mat, gravity when you hold us ;)

[RAINpit]

taking a lay back from xsi are we ? :)

its a great "moody" pieace
really awesome
take kare

PS.congrats on the pop3 cinematic, gorgeous style

[Gangstashers]

Wholy ****

Damnz! i realy love this! I like the lighting it realy brings the mood to it.. all deserted and cold.
Realy nice details, i think you could prolly make the ice look a bit less like stones by putting some little refelctions on it or some melting water dripping. But that's just the only thing i could think of.

Overall ***** stars from me!


Sheherryar

[Raphael-Lacoste]

thanks for the enthusiastic comments,

Indeed my arctic is an alien arctic, this is why the ice is very old and concretelike :)
kidding,
I'll do an improved verision with less bump, I think this is the problem is more in the bump/diffuse, see the Ice of Gaspard Friedrich, no icy reflection but more flat and bright ...
http://www.darlapp.de/Epochen%20-%20%DCbersicht.html

Best for all of you,

Awesome work, when I saw it I thought of the original

http://www.ebrooker.demon.co.uk/images/art/opener/wreck.jpeg

I have to admit that I like your composition even better, and the fact you can actually see the boat =) Wreck of Hope... AKA Fortress of Solitude =)

[DarkSkills]

Whoa! Simply amazing...that's all I have to say about that:thumbsup:

[wayfaerer]

Very beautifull work! I like the atmosphere a lot. It looks more like a painting than a 3d model!

[DGCG]

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiicked!
Exelent Work!

[ffourier]

pfiiu ca ne fera jamais qu'une image sublime de plus pour El Rafo :) Comme a chaque fois très bonne ambiance et le fait qu'on est pas forcément l'impression qu'il s'agit de glasse ne gêne nullement puisque ce n'est pas ce qui est important. Excellent continue à nous emmener dans ces superbes atmospheres.
a+

[CRx]

Bravo, encore une ambiance sublime et super compo.Je vais devoir remplacer mon fond d'ecran Babylone par celui....;)
Moi je dis que la seul chose qui manque a cette image c'est.....un bon tutorial !!! héhé

The concept is the same as Caspar David Friederich's work.

[Anthonylightsey]

I love the lighting and how it illuminates all the surrounding and objects in the scene.
The complexity of the ground is very natural looking and bizarre at the same time.
I love the detail of the ship and the ground.
