Nature: Tiny great waterflea

[Abraham]

Now I doubt I will go back into water for a while but very nice work, I'm very ipressed (and since I come here a lot I'm pretty hard to impress) Material or modelling, really don't know what I could criticize :) Ich bin immer erstaunt wie gut die C4D benützer sind :) Ab

[FLOw]

the flea is rather huge compared to the waves? :)
maybe make a few more fleas, so they are in a group, so that you can make the waves bigger...guess the same would go for the bubbels. Unless the waterflea is bigger than the ones in yer bed...:thumbsup: :D

[ramze]

I love it :applause: :applause: Good job !!!

[Gunter]

Thank you very much, Abraham, FLOw and ramce.

@FLOw: The microcosmos exists of thousands of round shapes, not being bubbles and a lot of wavy shapes, not being the surface of water, e.g. skinny slime of bacteria. But I know, its difficulty to leave human scale. Waterfleas - the reason why I´ve got no waterbed:eek: :)

[FLOw]

ah...well then...ok :D
sure it's nice and everything, I was just wondering if you may have missed the scale or whatever :wavey:

this boosts my theory of, whats reality built of.. :hmm:

[squidinc]

I've no idea what a water flea looks like so I can't crit on the realism, modelling lighting and composition are excellent though, always good to see C4D work

[Thalaxis]

Sweet! Now get that onto Maxon's user gallery :D

[Opeth]

hehe good job man! i like it alot!

[TemperalVision]

ooooowwwww.........

Wow thats pretty good.:thumbsup: It's always nice to see more stuff done in C4D. :buttrock:

[Commiekeebler]

You know what's scary?

Someone (or something) somewhere, would find this image very attractive. I'm talking about the opposite gender of those sea fleas of course.

"Oh man, check out those legs!" :)

[Rudity]

The flea looks pretty big to me.

Or the caustic effect on the flea is caused by super teeny weeny waves.

Its a cool image and has a neat style to it.

But if you were going for realism it still needs some work.

Thanks a lot to all.
@Rudity: you make me completely cracy:D
I studied nearly all pictures available, most bad, some good,had a lot of discussions with biologist, moved to libraries, to university, brought a microscope to my home, watching waterfleas:p
Believe me, its as near at reality as possible. By the way, to make it more complicated, it changes shape feeling in danger, gets a very sharp and high head. Mine is feeeling very well, as you see:thumbsup:

LOL

[Hexodam]

it looks great but because of the camera's FOV the flea appears extremely big, try moving the camera REALY REALY far back and then adjust the fov so it focuses on the flea.

[Savage_Henry]

Love the texturing job:applause:

The atmosphere of the image is very cool.

Crapola...this keyboard sucks...

[MrPunkin]

I agree... you used a wide angle on the lens and NO wide angle lens could shoot that small of a creature with that large of a frame filling and detail. I suggest using a 200+ focal length, probably even more like 500 , and move it again so it still fills the same space in teh frame. you will have a much more believably small creature. I may not do great 3D yet... but I have done photography for a long time.

forgot to post, I LOVE this shot though... thats the only thing I dont like, and only because you stated dimensions. When I first opened it before reading I thought it was a new creature and was amazed at the image, I have nothin to crit other than if it is supposed to be that small, make it look that way in its environment.

[Gunter]

oh yes, thats very good criticism concerning the camera :thumbsup:
Fighting with lighting, it seems I´ve neglected the camera.
Made some new test, looks better with new camera-settings.
Great forum:wavey:
