Amazing! your work inspires me. All the detailing, mood and colors are stunning. Also a beautiful story that lies denied.

Your showreel was used in our class to inspire 3d-students.

[mrkrzysiek]

as always fantastic work :)

[Neutrino]

As always you show hi-end quality in your artworks! One thing I really love is your works have not only high technical level but mood.
This airport reminds me similar soviet union airports I saw in my childhood. In fact, they are not particularly changed now :D

Congrats! Your work is stunnin' :buttrock:

[Lukas]

Front page material!

[neroart]

Truly amazing!, Great technique, many compliments!:applause:

[Rytis]

wrealy amazing:thumbsup:

[Thomas-Rudat]

Though there are some repetitions in the dirt on the window, I don t mind.

There is more than the technical side to images like this: It s telling a human story.
In this case it seems to have a lot to do with yourself. Thats okay.

What I like about your work is the color underlining the mood and the composition with the
old couple.

Cool thing and great work!

[vitorugo]

You captured the feeling in an airport so well...

[M-Keshta]

I put a comment on Evermotion but i will do it again here because the work is great :)

[biul]

great job!

[TekniX]

Hi,

this is a very nice piece you created here .. Very realistic rendering.. I love the floor and the reflections from the windows and the metal framings.. Really nice !
The mood is great.. I have felt this way a lot of times when being at an airport and think I know how the old man must feel. I especially like airports at night, when theyre empty, that makes it even more "interesting" , the feeling which I really like about it is this thought that you might just get ANY plane and be on the other side of the world in a matter of hours..
Lovely image !

Greetings

[jigu]

Beautiful!

How did you achieve the depth in exterior? Can you post the wireframe view?

Thanks,
Jigu

[macoll31]

I don't understand the floor just in front of the nearest plane (really dirt na?) but the image is trully amazing ;)...please post a wire if you have time.

[samartin]

Not often I comment on Front page material these days, but this is beautiful, there is beauty in dark subject matter, light at the end of the tunnel and all that.

It's the simple things but the floor texturing looks fantastic, so does everything else!

[Maview]

wo.Ow

Great work, I really love the mood you´ve captured, well done! 5*

So great, I love your works, specially shading/lighting. I remember the moscow airport, I stopped there once on my way to tokyo, it shocked me how dim, or dark it was. I hate airports too lol

Perfection in everything, composition, mood, etc.

[KillahPriest]

[digitalworkshop]

Hi marek, I have been always a BIG fan of your work. And this piece is truly amazing. I have been in this situation like many others waiting for your plane, in the crowd and yet alone with so much in your mind going on. And the mood,the atmosphere conveys exactly what you had in mind. 5 stars work! i am sure it will be featured in the next Digital Art master's series.
thanks for posting this!

best regards,
Digi

[Kiwi2703]

Krásne :) som zvedavy na dalsie :)

I'm really amazed... It's not simply 3D, it's art and pure emotion! Some of the best works I've ever seen :bowdown:

Best regards,

is this 3d ? unbelievable !!

[Eightball]

oh my god, this is so incredibly beautiful!
thanks for sharing and for the inspiration!

Alex

[drosa]

I am not going to join any conversation but really top notch work DenkoM.
Really I don't see any point to create in every way 100% realistic 3d (except recreating something what doesn't exist anymore, or at all, or will be expensive to shoot).So this piece is awesome I think, but
it will be cheaper and faster to take a photo. Truly insane work but for nothing, because we know, many people can do photo real render. Imho> the floor looks too wet and on top the reflection is like a water waves. Bit off.
Like I said, insane good but for no point.
-cheers

[Visario]

Beautiful piece. The composition is very good and the texture work is spot on. Love that floor material. Great job. :)

[Marat-Ars]

Awesome philosophical allusion. Great image! :thumbsup:

[cobra6]

Absolutely beautiful, nothing more to say about it. I know exactly what feeling you are describing, because I have been flying quite a lot this year, and even though your piece has that warm lighting, it still feels very lonely indeed.

Cobra 6

[illogix]

*clack clack* sorry... my jaw just dropped to the ground.

That image is absolutely beautiful, great work!

[DenkoM]

Thank you guys for you positive comments! For those who asked for wire frame i must say that I tried to but characters were just a black solid areas due to high res mesh export directly from Zbrush so it's kind of useless to post... that was the reason why I posted the shaded render...

Cheers!

[jigu]

Then Can you post the render without fog and haze? It will be really helpful. I really look forward to how you achieved depth.

Thanks!

[akademus]

Great work, Marek.

That is the only thing I hate about this work, spending so much time away from home and families. This year I couldn't get my leave during the summer, so I'll be back to green Europe in autumn.

Now you really got me homesick!

Congratulations on another fine piece.

[AdanVC]

Bravo!, just full of emotion, i totally love it. perfection in every single pixel.

[Samo]

Congratulations, it a great work for several reasons.

[Ecleposs]

marek..what can i say..your work still the inspiration of many people over the last few years
I'm proud of being one of those:)
keep going ..
and stay alive ;)

[OLD-BOY]

Brilliant work. Really big fan of your artwork.

[stankovigorro]

Denko great work as always.Outstanding!!!

[artfx]

Very Beautiful.. I would get depressed if I would stare too long.. The feeling of lonliness is amazing. Great work..

[parlmc]

congrats, marek!
as usual your images are really evocative and this one doesn't make exeption.
I sincerly admire your work.

[gary-smith]

The most incredible 3d artwork ever made, hands down..words cannot express how amazingly designed this scene is. Marek Denko is second to none in my opinion.

[abuyhia]

Welcome back Denko, as usual great artwork http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/icons/icon13.gif

congrats for finishing it

[thakingpin]

Mr. Marek Denko....Where were you all this time? I must tell you that your works are always inspiring....:bowdown:

I love the details, every bit of it. Its really a beautiful feeling standing quietly, everything around paused, solitude, reminiscing about those precious moments, precious people, just about everything that made & makes your life worthwhile..your piece takes me there.

Any chance of a "Making of" please....

Your Fan

[Tiger-1]

Fantastic work... Congratulations!
Love all your works and the kind of work you do.
Your work inspires me a lot :bowdown:

[rukout]

Wow, I did not recognize it as 3d until i looked at the category, it really looks real. There something with your images, it as if there's a life in every scene you create. All your works are indeed inspiring.

[adarc]

Amazing! I like this type CG effect, very good view, you have a very great job and good family !!

[bryananthonydgm]

People tend to see 3D animation works technically, with what methods used, what process it undergone and many more. Yes, that is what animation artwork is all about. On the other hand, some people looks at the deeper meaning of the scene, they do have a lot of interpretations, they may be right, others may be "more" right, and absolutely, there is no wrong opinions for that depends on people's point of view. What I am trying to say is that with your work, you have well balanced approach to other artists and viewers. The way you did your masterpiece, it is exceptional. The way you conveyed your message to us about your family as your subject of your artwork, it really inspired many people.

To conclude, I really idolize these kinds of artworks, straight from the heart of the artists to the feelings of the viewers.

Nice job! Congratulations! :applause:

[Timo074]

Wow, the depressing athmosphere has been beautifully captured -great piece of art!

[dtuts-wizard]

Very good! I liked the mood of the picture and the idea. This is really a piece of art.

[shadowseve]

Really like this. Love the subtle lighting and the modeling.

[steelbug]

Marek,
I look at your work and I feel nostalgia.
Really planes TU-104 still fly?
Last time I flied by such plane in 1977, I was absolutely the small child.

Excellent work.
It is similar to a photo if not to know that author Marek Denko.
I watch your creativity.
Good luck! :)

[my7hai]

the clock seems to be transparent :)

gj!

[Berax0r]

Really great mood and feeling. Good job mate! :)

[Skyist]

:love: amazing work !

[Polg]

That's really impresive work !!
Have you used LWF for this work ?

[hammerheart]

That is just amazing. I never thought 3d art could look like that.

[ahau]

@drosa :

it seems you didn't understood the point here, first of all, not anyone can acheive that level of realism and detail ( i don't speak of photorealism, you can show any render to someone who isn't in the CGi world, he'll say it's a picture ) here we speak of technical mastering.

But technical isn't important if not at the service of communication, like you said, it's easier to take a photo. but even in photography, EVERYBODY can snapshot and push a button. Not everyone will take a photography who share emotions for the viewer, show an history, a context.

It's the same way in every art, movie, drawning, sculpture and so on, even our.

[dilen]

wow now this is called perfection man.

great job dude too good.

[PavelSokov]

Wow, you basicaly re-created real life. It can't look better then this!

Hey, I don't know much about 3d, but I see you wrote that it took 15 hours to render.
So does this mean as you work on it you see some primitive version of the models? Then how do you know if you are getting the results you want in the final render? Do you have to resort to waiting 15 hours each time you want to check how its looking?

[mackai]

Probably the strongest measure of a success in art is when it transfers mood and feeling to the viewer. This one does so very well. Thank you for creating and sharing it.

[kidswit]

wow this is a great image! really great atmosphere and everything is just top notch great work!

[karchcoon]

this is heartbreakingly beautiful work. truly a reminder we're all CG artists.

if you'll take one small critique from a lowly student: my eye goes to the plane in the foreground before the man or woman. it's just the nature of the composition, nothing from a technical standpoint.

either way, amazing. the muted colors, the tired and dated airport, the isolation implied between the characters, even the frozen clock, it all comes together so well.

[bieetars]

so good...i like it

[karthikarctic]

Mr. Denko, your work is as supreme and haunting as always. Very inspirational and prestine.

Thanks for sharing.

[arti-fact]

Great work. I like every your work, atmospheres which them produce are very strong. Thank you

[halukzengin]

upper super..

[mastone]

I like it ;)
Love the way you " tell the story " with the use of light and dark, what I don't get however is why the (old) man is standing resolutely looking away from the old woman sitting at the back.

If you want to "depect a life is better elsewhere" story it would look better if there wasn't a woman sitting at the left but maybe some long deserted corridor or something.

If you want to depict " the torn between family and work" story, it would be better to " pick" a younger man looking at the planes and a wife and a kid tearing at his arm urging to stay and pulling him the other way

Could be that I totally misread your image.
But those are my 2 cents anyway ;)

[gujunkrisgu]

see through the glass,the plane gives me the feeling that my friend or someone will leave me far away.

[djprasun]

Wow!!
This is exactly how I felt when I went back to my loved ones after countless days working in a city far away from my home. It really touched my heart. Sorry I don't feel like commenting on the technical aspect of the image as I'm in total shock and awe at this time and just enjoying the beauty of it.
Can I take your permission to take a print out of this art as I want to laminate it.

[Xerotin]

Awsome really inspiring work :)

[Paddy]

That brings back memories. Beautifully done. I particularly like the airport floor.

[TomBurns]

Wow. Just beautiful work. The colours and lighting really get the feeling across about loneliness.

Beautiful.

[hazenbenjamin]

Fantastic job. Great eye for the details. The mood is consistent throughout this piece, even while showing different appearances of the exterior versus the interior. I like that they differ in their lighting and color, yet together work perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
