3D Character: flyingfish

[phgroove]

...mmm fishy!!!! :)

I like it, but I think a smaller img with less jpg compression would be better.

[phgroove]

the second1 is very very nice.
The translucency is awesome

[joana]

Where do you see JPG compression? :surprised

[DANKA]

...incredible...!I very like it!
The translucency is...perfect!:drool:

[joana]

Those pics were done in max (rendering elements separately) and then imported into photoshop with some effects added.

Thanks. :cool:

[leuey]

Nice job - almost looks like a painting.

best,

Greg

Hey great fish. The textures are great, any reflection maps there?

[Orange1]

Excelente. Perfeito. Parabéns.

[insect666]

Looks very nice! :)

Can't spot much to crit, nor pick on with my own likes - well done! :thumbsup:

[Beastie]

That is really cool! zGreat render,texture, and model. Did you make up that species or is it real? If its your I like the design! Nothing cooler than making fantasy look real. Nice Job! :thumbsup:

[joana]

There are no reflections but in photoshop I used 4 times the render of the highlights in screen mode, for example.

I used one drawing of a real flying fish for the modeling (or at least part of it).

Way to go!:drool:

It really apears to be a painting, the mood, the style, and them again it isn't.
Please, post a wire, a big one.
Congratulations!:beer:

[Garma]

[elevationson]

that texture is sweet!!

[stickman]

Woah.. that looks real

Nice;)

[mehdianim]

Great work on the materials and textures! I first thought I was looking at 2d work.
pretty impressive.

[kr3ml]

Holy Sh!t , wtf is that for a fish ? GREAT WORK ! :applause:

[sixthe45]

Impressive.
Texture work is fantastic.

[lildragon]

Wow, haven't seen one of these since I was a lil kid. They're a Barbadian (bajan) dish. Very famous fish in Barbados and very very tasty ;) it's also a pride of Barbados on our emblem, you've done justice here. COngrats

Hey joana, nice fish!:)
What kind of shader did you use for that? Is there some kind of translucency going on? It looks very good.
Btw, is joana a girls/womans name?

Good work!

[joana]

Hi there!

First of all thanks for the comments.

I wanted to make a subtle image but that could transmit some kind of technical ambiguity (subtle and "dirty" at the same time with those rough textures). I prefer the kind of pictures that you don't know imediatly how they were done.

And now the technical stuff:

I used some textures done in max, a darktree texture that produces scales, Highlight Only material for the speculars (from Blur Studios ), and the multiblend material again from Blur Studios to mix them all.

Rendered the elements (shadows, specular, blend) and then, in photoshop retouched some flaws and applied some effects. Even used the ugly Plastic effect on it!

Thanks again, and yes, I am a girl! :cool:

Great job there!

Your wire shows alot atencion to detail, wich really helps the image to become alive. But surely the materials you created are your greatest accomplishment.

Very well done, Joana!:applause: :bowdown:

[zhiyialex]

SOO GREAT!
i love it!

[cgwing]

very good

[nina]

Really nice fish, very good pic!

[facial]

interesting fish. LOL
Well done. :thumbsup:

[Zardoz]

Oi Joana. Antes de mais quero te dar os parabéns pelo teu peixe que está muito fixe mesmo. A única coisa que eu sugeria para estas imagens seria adicionar água...umas gotas a sairem do peixe (ele acabou de saltar não foi? :) ...)

É sempre fixe ver portugueses a fazer 3D e ainda para mais raparigas! Deves ser a única portuguesa que eu conheço a fazer isto e a fazer bem.

Se quiseres ver os meus bonecos deixo-te aqui alguns links.

I think you need some water splash, to show a little bit "movement" of the fish...

[Defiler]

First of all, the model itself is amazing. I think it would look even better if you made the fish appear wet because it just jumped.

[greydef]

I can vouch for that, they certainly are tasty especially when cooked by my grandmother (my favourite meal = fried flying fish & muffins)! :drool:

Good to hear from a Bajan on this site. Perhaps you could work on a 3D version of Cou-Cou? :D

Regards Graeme
