Beautiful image! Very well done.

[Neox3d]

awesome detail man, insane modeling, one question how did u model the vegetation?

[kanooshka]

superb image I love how everything melds together with the nearly monochromatic tone. 5*

Very nice scene north!!! :bounce: :thumbsup: :applause:

[north]

Thank you guys! I had a lot of fun doing this piece of work and I’m happy you enjoyed it too .

Neox3d, - As for the vegetation I usually use several planes with alpha to form different “patches” of vegetation and then distributing them over the scene. I've made a simple scheme ,hope it’ll be useful:

Plugified.

[Djampa]

The sky is so beautiful ! I loved that orange tone.
All the architectural style, the conceptual vehicles (da Vinci Style), all look so good and harmonious, it looks like a well done oil painting somehow.
It is wonderful ! a 5 star masterpiece !

Did you make a sky matte painting? Or it is all hand painted ?


Can you share a bit of your lightning too ?

Thanks and best wishes,

[Djampa]

double post... :rolleyes:

[Grrrrrrr]

I love your style and i have to say this image is way better than ur last ones.

Keep it up!

[sakeo]

Beautiful image, i went through your site and admire your work, Keep it up!

[Muhammad-almoneef]

it really looks great man

[ShaunRoth]

I can not say much more than what everyone else has said. Awesome work! As a relatively new comer to the 3d industry, your work has greatly inspired me.

Well Done,

Shaun

[niva]

Bravo Ognio, 5 zvezdi ot men!

Love the painterly feel, the ship/building design, everything... keep it up!

[GonzaloGolpe]

Great! I love the texture of the pines

5*:thumbsup:

[Star-Scream]

Totaly awesome ;)

Would like to see the wires etc. too :applause:

[Zorrino]

It reminds me of the same spirit during the scene of air pilots in the island in Hayao Miyazaki's Porco Rosso. Awesome work!

[GoodfellowStudio]

how did you manage to render this so much like a painting?

it is really impressive stylisticly

[Kaleen]

Dreamy...!

[gelfie]

I really like this, it looks so much like an illustration, when I saw it on the frontpage I was sure I'd be linked to the 2D gallary.

I think its wonderful when people get a CG scene to look hand painted.

[claudiasutton]

WOW. This is stunning. Everything about it is right on. The palette, the atmosphere, and rendering are gorgeous.

[diginime]

i like the detail very much, and the style you have.good job!

Thanks you for sharing, 5 stars from me.

[north]

One more time - thank you all for the kind words ;)

As for the sky – it ‘s mainly hand painted stuff as I used some photos for reference and to gain additional detail ( by combining some overlay ,soft / hard light layers etc. ) Te textures are all hand painted as once again additional detail / noise added by combining with some photo images .

And here are some wires as well :

[Blaschke]

Great work. Well done!
I love the lighting.

[kemar]

Awesome picture!

I like your color palette a lot.

[Nemo1975]

Beautiful and timeless.

I'd love to fly in one of those aircrafts...

When I saw the image I thought it was a painting too and a great one at that. Amazing what you have done with the textures.

Thank you for sharing the wires and vegetation.

[bizgraphix308]

Ognian,
I love your piece! The homage you made to steampunk fantasy authors (i.e. Philip Pullman, Neil Gaiman) is prevalent in the models you chose. The brief shock of symmetry is a nice touch. You certainly attest to the reputation of your studio.
Keep on,
- Sam

[IvanMitkowski]

this reminds me of warcraft 2, i love it

[PiPS]

Hi !

Very wonderful image !
Great work...

[caro]

I've seen the picture pretty much everyday since you posted and somehow I didn't read its description (jumped straight away to fullres version). I though it's 100% 2D untill now... amazing!
thanks for sharing with us WIPs, especially the vegetation one, really helpfull. I'd really appreciate if you shown some textures in decent resolution. It always makes me wonder how much hand-draw textures have to look in order to get that result in final render.

IMO th best render of this kind I've seen for looooong time, obviously 5 stars.

[Bravado]

When I first saw it, I actually thought it was a drawing. It's hard to believe it's 3D.
With that said, it's absolutely amazing. Because you used Max, I suppose you used Ink 'n' Paint a lot? Otherwise, it would be hard to achieve the same effect.
But still, so many details and variations in this render, it's hard to even comment on it. The lighting is great. But really, I'd love to hear about how you achieved this quality and drawing similarity. Keep up the good work, man.

[ThomasMahler]

Utterly inspiring work.

[shenjinwu]

Hi !

Very wonderful image !this is very beautiful!
Great work...
Really very wants to study to you, obtains own enhancement!

[olive2d]

Wow! Really beautifull scene!
Nice colors and athmosphere!:thumbsup:
A great, great work!

[north]

What can I say, but again : Thank you guys, for all these great replies!

As I was kindly asked I’ll try to make some sort of “making of” for this piece in the near future, so I hope it’ll be useful when I done it.


Best to you all,
north

[Matroskin]

awesome piece, I got the warm fairy tale feeling ;)
It will be a good ref for me on how great textures should look like !

and yep, a making of is a great idea! Look forward.

[seccad]

it is like a dream, mate! i don't know but the colors have took me, yes i'm flying now=) i did not visit the cgtalk for a long time, after all this time your job has brung me back to life.
congratulations, it is enough to take 5 stars=)

[grietel]

This looks amazing! Is this 3D! Love the feel of it. It has a classic artistic feel of an old painting or perkament. Great!:applause:

[qiujinyan]

magic sence, nice !:bounce:

[Branko]

Beautiful movement and wonderful weight. Thanks for sharing!

[calisto-lynn]

amazing work!!!

[mehran]

great work... Really like the composition...
My only crit would be that the smoke coming out of the house looks a bit odd... it should be getting some light from the sun(your primary light source).
hope you didn't mind that..

[Djampa]

What can I say, but again : Thank you guys, for all these great replies!

As I was kindly asked I’ll try to make some sort of “making of” for this piece in the near future, so I hope it’ll be useful when I done it.

Thanks for sharing :)
Your artwork is really brilliant!

Best wishes,

[JLLilley]

This is great. I love the design. The painted look of the foilage and trees that give a 2D mixed with 3D feel. Its really well done. And very inspirational.

Great work.

Congrats - this is a fantastic artwork

[centavrus]

beautiful work:) super

[brianod]

While I admire the technical excellence of the 3D work, from an image point of view, esthetically, it's too busy. What is the focal point? What are you trying to say or show with this image?

Examine your image as a work of art instead of a 3D rendering.

Some contrast between the various components of the image would help define the focus.

But overall, a nice work.

[metalmaniac]

Very very nice, it feels something like a painting...Good work, go on this way :)
