[Lukas]

Amazing work! I`am just wondering what will be the next thing You do :D
Keep up the good work!

[taemee]

its great effort man. few suggestions.
for me the windmill or watever it is in the middle is actually not necassery i mean its moving the focus which is unwanted i gues. also a lil bit of depth of field( forget about the texture work u did for background props) can really enhance the picture quality and composition.

[hugodesign]

Amazing work!!! Perfect textures and colors.

[ICD]

the car looks fantastic ! just the building and the clouds are somehow not as good as the car. but overall is a great image !:thumbsup:

[pailhead]

PS: Congrats for front page. Your work deserves it more than most of the car modelings :thumbsup:

Keep good working :)

[slice56]

great attention to detail! amazing work, man!

this is being nitpicky, but it seems like the shadow that is being cast on the left side of the car from the fence should be a little softer.

Great work man! :thumbsup:

[MoonVisionStudio]

Stunning image! I love to see people make great art from stinky old subject matter.

Great work :) great modeling and texturing :*

Super mam nadzieje ze bedzie cg czojs :D

pozdrawiam

cheers

[kr3ml]

fabulous

very nice work,

what kind of render did you use?

[Neil]

great mood and textures, however I feel like the car is plastic. Even if it's old and rusted there has to be some sorta reflection and highlites on it.

Question, how did you do all the grass and foliage? Textured planes? Paint fx?
Is this all 3d or is there any 2d compositing also?

[Lizard Head]

LOVE the work,, love the subject,, awesome work, Applaud on texturing and Lighting


but

I see the same thing over and over in these Partial PR renderings that then sorta throws them all into the same catagorey of stylized work rather than photoreal. But stylized maybe what you are after, My crit on this piece is the shadows, like a lot of work I see there is no attempt at real world shadowing and shadow color, seems most tend to focus on texture and lighting but they always forget about the importance of proper shadows to really make an image "speak"

again,, not to distract from a great piece of art,,3 thumbs way up !!

[AlexStratulat]

Good work!!!
excellent atmosphere...

[antodonnell]

really nice work, The composition is well planned. Overall , modelling, texturing and lighting. The whole thing is well executed. Must have taken a long time. Well done:thumbsup:

[criminal]

i like it. amazing work, specially the textures, they'r nicely done!

[ACantarel]

Very nice picture :thumbsup: Good eye for details, nice textures & lighting! It was interesting to follow the progress in your WIP thread the whole time :)

definetly front page and 5*s from me!

Cheers
André

[EhsanD]

woah ... :eek:

ohh look at the textures ...
5 stars ...

[ashrass99]

Great textures. Wonderful Work.

[InKraBid]

OK, ONE crit: it could use some DOF to emphasize the distances and preserve realism. OTT its just awesome. Well deserved FP.

[Por@szek]

Congrats mate.
The work is top noch, lovely done. Hope it helps U in the future.
Stars 'cos u deserve on them, and I'll keep thumbs for some award for ya ;)

[Stefan-Morrell]

very impressive work!..the plants look great
well done:thumbsup:

[kingmango]

why do I feel like I've seen this before??? First post is yesterday but I swear I saw this image a few months ago... :shrug:
Still very nice capture. Has a real vintage photo feel to it.
Ah because I remember it now from Subd forums. Only it was flipped horizontally. I feel much better now :)

[logicalNot]

Beautiful texture, detail, atmosphere and mood! Great work from the ground up Peter. Modeling alone is beautiful to look at. Followed this on Subdiv. Check it out if you haven't seen the WIP - http://www.subdivisionmodeling.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1666

Was surprised to see the image flipped though. Composition works well this way, but something bugged me about it. Finally realized the steering wheel is on the wrong side for US plates. Doesn't detract in any way from a great work - just an observation.

5 stars!

[mukks]

wow.. wonderfull... love the depth...............

[Pionier]

Hi all !

what can I say... thanks a lot's for Front Page, it was my dreams :thumbsup:

Textures - well, I used few different technics to create them. Some of them was made from the beggining - for example dirt map on car window. In the others, I had to paint details on existing photos using tablet. So for the shed, I used wood textures from Evermotion's cd. Standard max textures were useful too. Some textures was made from pictures I had made by myself. I just needed to take a camera and make a little trip around the office. Of course the most powerful tool used for making (finding) photos for textures was... Google search

Broken glass was made by model not by texture. In this case I need to thank my team friend, PENdzel, who "sold" me some great and simple technic - more about this in the making of, which I'm working on.

kingmango ;)

CG Choice? not this time I think but how's know :)

nice work :thumbsup:

[kimlee]

CGChoice Award totally deserved!!!:thumbsup:

[Stevemoh]

Love it! Wheres the critters? Snakes, old crowe -that mouse that tore a hole in the back seat.

[havokzprodigy]

Very nice work, looks great!


My only comment would be the North Carolina plate looks out of place. The enviroment looks like Nevada or something on the west coast. While the plate is from the east coast.

[eliment]

Amazing I saw it on Area.com... you are making crazy stuff
I really like the shaders you use for that image.

[TirNanOg]

what i really loved, besides the car, was the shed in the backround. rundown and weather beaten with bits of odds and ends scattered about.

[goktugg]

so nice! :)

[guillermorohe]

Great textures :thumbsup:

[JasonLin]

very nice artistic image....
great textures and final result is fantastic...keep up:thumbsup:

[wayote]

I like a lot, very nice work. But i think... can be better if the house had more blur than the car.

saludos

[LWPerkins]

A very nice piece of art--I love the warm highlights and cool tones of the shadows. It looks cheerful even with the decay. I can tell you had a lot of fun making the rusty textures on the car!

[geegle]

Great work! It is beauty,I:thumbsup: like it

[anandpg]

nothing to say but Awesome!!Awesome!!:eek:.. exquisite detail!! beautifully done!!:applause:

[Skyraider3D]

That's an awesomely moody picture. Very nicely done.
If anything though, the cloud formation on the right don't seem to match the picture. I feel it would have been better if the style of the sky as on the left was continued.
It's nitpicking though - it's great as it is! :thumbsup:

man, that is simply amazing!! the whole scene looks real! the textures are great! and the environment looks never ending and so realistic!! and inspiration to me dude.

[Pionier]

thanks guy's for you answers :thumbsup:

[christo78]

Really nice, love the attention to detail and I really like the painterly quality. The only thing that takes away from it slightly for me is the clouds in the top right they look a little too comped in from a photograph for me, maybe they could be softened slightly?

[saltydogdesign]

Sweet. Love the attention to detail. Have to agree with the last poster though -- the clouds don't match. I know it's lame to crit without giving a suggestion, but I'm in a bit of a rush. Sorry.

[kreuz]

pretty nice texture and render tech. :thumbsup:

[LiveToDesign]

The enviroment is amazing. Give yourself more credit. It looks great!

[carlg]

In one of the other forums, there's a discussion going on about which subjects people are tired of seeing in 3d. One that many seem to agree is that cars are getting cliche.

This, however.....is not.:D

Gorgeous work.

[ENCOD3]

I swear I thought this was a real photo when I frist saw it. You really dropped jaws with this one! :thumbsup: I'm so jealous...

[organicmod01]

Very nice layout and texturing. I especially like the modelling of the plantlife throughout the scene.

[jimidv]

:thumbsup: great job! good textures and lighting and very very pretty background and enviroment

I am agree with wayote about bluring of the house a little.

[chamsae]

nice texture and overall feel!

[Fox]

hello bro:)
its not so easy to do a beautyful junkyard :)
for me this image is depresive, because i dont like when cars suffer like that.
is this car stilll alive?

*****

[fahadkhan]

you done a superb job ....

[jcw7766]

Everyone does cars. Some better than others. But rarely does anyone do a car like this.
Great job! I'd like to know more about the textures you used and how you created/modified them.
