View Full Version : Fat Giraffe, Thomas Mangold (3D)

Title: Fat Giraffe
Name: Thomas Mangold
Country: Germany
Software: LightWave 3D
This is one of two shots I did for a Paris based advertising agency. Both images were used in a campaign for Zeiss binoculars and illustrate their quality to enlarge the stuff you see by using them. Lightwave has been my choice to create these models. While the giraffe has been finished pretty fast, the horse and jockey were pretty difficult to model and texture. Took me quite a long time, but in the end it's been worth it. Background for the giraffe has been shot by Ebo Fraterman, while I take all the credit for the horse image. Both images were included in the Shortlist at this year's advertising festival in Cannes.

actually I love this piece far more than your fat horse. Well, both are amazing, but this one is far more difficult to define where the fat goes(my opinion). Very well done, Loving it.

This is a wonderful piece. My mother has loved and collected photos and figures of giraffes her entire life. I emailed her your image and she called me laughing her head off. Thank you for making my mother happy. :) (It is technically very good also)

Honestly, this is THE best 3D I have ever seen. Sure there are many other works out there with a lot more complexity and so forth, but never before have I wanted to get a big juicy A3 print and hang it on my wall as when looking at this. The concept alone can't be touched.
38 stars from me.
