This is the scene - an empty swimming pool, a character will sit on the edge of it and he'll be fishing with a bomb.

Some progress with the character on the edge of the pool.

[soapy]

Hahah, crazy stuff! I like it so far. Good luck.

A quick render test.

[chile888]

Thank you Soapy! All the modeling and scene setup except the lights is done. Now comes the texturing and render.

[Hiun]

Hahaha... This is without a doubt very strange:D

[chaitanyak]

am waiting to see how this turns out :) even the plain texture with gi lighting looks pretty good :applause:

The final light test before texturing. Physical sun and sky with MentalRay.

[chile888]

Thank you chaitanyak for the input. Now comes the texturing.

Scene with simplifyed geometry for render tests and composition visualization.

Some texture test for the bottle.

...and for the fishing rod.

And here is the final image. About 90000 polygons with 5,3k texture, rendered for about 8 hours. I'm not really happy with the result though. I think I took a too large scene and put in too few geometry. Anyway It's not a bed start. Wish everybody good luck!

...and another one.

[rawrsie]

coming along very nicely. I love the idea.

Thank you rawrsie, this is where I am now. I've added some more props: a chair, parasols and the characters shoes and jacket. I've put some more dirt on the ground and the walls, worked on the transitions and added some graffitis to make it a little more alive.

and some of the graffitis...

I've added some stuff to make it a bit more alive and now I'll leave it at this stage. Again good luck to everybody!

[unf0rg1v3n]

No, Wait! dont leave it just yet... haha. The image looks fantastic and compositionally its really strong. My only suggestion would be to bump up the color and complexity of the man by the pool. With a bit warmer tones and maybe more fishing gear next to him (umbrella, picknick sack, etc) it would definitely bring it to a next level.

[chile888]

Thank you jpmonroyal. I'll play with the colors then some more and I was thinking about putting in a suitcase with some papers earlyer, so if I have time I'll try that as well. Thank you again.
