Photomontage: Girl and a bird (with Realsoft 4.5)

[JBruckner]

No way, thats totaly amazing, I thought the bird was real for a sec. Truly amazing work, great job. It looks so real.

[Shaykai]

Awesome work. That thing is 100% good. Keep it up.

[PureFire]

Is the woman and her hand modelled also... or just a pic?

Very nice work...excellent:buttrock:

[dark_lotus]

Thats awesome dude:buttrock:

My only crit, would be that the blurring of the face looks a bit odd. I guess thats because (and this was highlighted in another thread) that blurring and de-focusing are different.

Ah well, the bird is still phenominal.

[Akurra]

But the girl's face is defocused. I did not touch any part of the photo (accept for coloruring of the swater - changed from magenta to blue, with some errors... :( ).

I like the model and you did a great job with the texturing. One thing that I notice dough is that the shadows being casted by the bird are a bit too sharp, it would look more convincing if they got a bit blurrier as they got further away from the object casting them aswell. All in all great image, so cheers :beer: .

Laters,

Ahhh...absolutely love it! Looks great of course, but just the concept of a little mechanical bird that snacks on bits of metal screws and such. Wasn't there an old fairy tale or fable about a Japanese emporor that had a mechanical bird pet made for him...? I forget the whole story...

Hi Piotr,

very nice! Looking for yours next work!

Wonderful image... Thanks for posting it!

[kleer001]

First off, fab-u render and image.
I only have a one point critique, the merging of the real photo and CG needs help exactly where the bird and the finger is a little fuzzy and needs more definition. Seeing how that's the only thing I have to say It's an amazing photo. Great textures, great lighting, great concecpt and execution.

peace,
Clear:thumbsup:

Man I loved this image. I just jumped in saw the link clicked on it and the first thing I thought was my African Gray (Timmnah) I had. Then I was so in love with this I came back and read the actual post. In other words wonderful, wonderful job. The originality and quality in the details make this suburb in my opinion. :applause:

[Fiber]

it's really refreshing to see a robot that's not based on popular demand and impressively executed to.
this should be plugged (but that's just my humble opinion)

[facial]

Hey, Akurra, Your work is really great. I love them. Keep post up.
I want to see more,
:beer:

Excelent work Piotr, I've seen this a week ago on the RS contest site and you know I love this image. Well done. :love:

:eek: :eek: :surprised

i just can't tell which is which. you said you used a digital photo. of the girl? the screw? or the screw is 3D????

:surprised

[Akurra]

Girl with the screw are photographed, on this I overlayed the bird. The textures for the bird were constructed using some reference photos of metal elements photographed. Nice feature of Realsoft is that it does not divide objects into faces, instead it crates math representations of curved surfaces, so, you can't see any faces :bounce: A feature not to beat, you can zoom in, zoom in zoom in... no faces :surprised
And the lights can have value >1 (the light brightness here is about 5), so strong sunlight is more easily simulated in speculars.

[LordShaitan]

Absolutly awsome. Besides the shadows being casts the only other issue that i saw with this is a smale texturing issue. Well Its not a "you did this wrong" but more of a "in life wouldnt it be more like this."

Ok if this was manifactured with the mouth open then it would be fine, but it looks as though the mouth is opening awaiting the tasty treat. Thus if that is the case then the picture shows what im trying to get to. The lines of the metal from the top beak to the bottom are running straight up and down. Thinking they came from the same piece of metal wouldnt the bottom beak have the "grain" of the metal be running at more of an angle?

Thats the only thing that i can see that caught my eye. Keep up the great work!

[RockinAkin]

Fantastic image!
This is going into my "Inspiration" folder! :drool:

[Akurra]

LordShaitan :) , thanks, good point, it's a detail, but details are important in such graph. I think I'll try to make an animated creature, but a new one... to see how the metal glows and reflections behave. Would be a nice thing to see. There is a nice point in 3D, which is suprise, sometimes you make a graph, and it seems to live it's on live :D

It was by J.H. Andersen as I recall, and actually was a part of inspiration to this image. I had a book, when I was a child, with a horrible illustration: a mechanical bird with a skull in place of a head. I wonder who had an idea of creating such illustration in children's book. Hmmm.. or perhaps not all of Andersen's tales are for children.:hmm:

[Mangled Poly]

I really like this work.. my only crit is... Where is the wire frame to match? Come on now show us alll a lil wireframe!

[Akurra]

Here's the wireframe - the neck was displaced render-time only.

Its amazing how you could have madesuch a complex bird out of an not as complex mesh. I wont say the mesh is not complex, but it does not look like it can turn out so well.. I really like the job you did with this lighting and texturing.

Stop working! it can never be better than this! its perfect!

[Kurtzar]

Beautiful work.It really is a visual splendor.5 Stars from me.:thumbsup: :applause:

[Vladvrz]

A very nice image,very nice look indeed.The lighting and texturing too really create this scene into what it is,a very good piece of work.:beer: :thumbsup:

[Kryptochan]

Man thats cool, it reminds me of bo bo from "Clash of the titans" the mechanical owl. That was my favorite part of the movie.

[derErschaffer]

fantastic work....i still impressed....perfect texturing...:applause: :applause:
