BUZZ LIFE, Andrea Bertaccini (3D)

wow great job !!

Wrong. There is plenty of reflection from moon’s surface, in fact the moon’s surface is a very good reflector, hence the full moon even lights up the earth… (this is only one of the things ‘Apollo didn’t land on the moon’ conspiracy theorists go wrong, like they do in several other so-called “photographic evidence” of a mock-up there never was.)

Excellent image. I heartily congratulate you!

#123

…Not to mention a landing device made out of…“tinfoil”? I believe such material has the full potential of casting enough light back to light him;)

GREEEEEEEEEAT image…this is one of the works where I think; WHY!!!
And then I think; Because he CAN!!!
I would never be able to do it this close, that´s for sure.

When I posted my message, I didn’t even know there was a debate about the authenticity of the photographs of the original, because I didn’t know this was possible on Cgtalk! There is abolutely no question that those images were taken on the moon. I fail to understand any informed 3d artist complaining about shadow angle and lengths and other phonemona on those photos, I would have to ask those people to reconsider their photography and physics knowledge at the smallest of doubts. I think there is a time in a 3d artists life when they only base their evaluation in previous (and actually awesome indeed) 3d art and not the real world!

Here is a page that should cheer most of you! I give this url everytime I can on forums :slight_smile:

Your wireframe is quite unorthodox but I see how that was the only way to get the wrinkles properly, nevertheless this is simply amazing and inspiring. You have captured a very great moment in history. You should definetely send this to NASA to see what they think of it, I’m sure they would be really impressed. 5 stars.

The only crit I have is that the lighting is not harsh enough. The moon has no atmosphere and as a result shadows are darker, so there shouldn’t be as much GI as there is

#128

Which of course proves that there was never any man on the moon. The whole thing was composited. :scream:

#129

The moon has no atmosphere but the moon has the moon surface(!) which reflects a lot of light. :slight_smile: That’s why, shadows on the surface are very strong as it can receive only very little bounced light from the surroundings, where as anything above the surface is bounce-lit a good deal, just like the genuine photos taken on the surface on the moon.

Here is the comparison posted earlier by the artist himself:

Here’s a debunking page for all the baseless hoax claims, just googled it for your viewing pleasure (in fact I may put this in my signature :slight_smile: )

Nice ! Rendering time please ?

#131

incredible work, looks fantastic. :thumbsup:

#132

with all the incredible CG work on this site I rarely get impressed any more… this one´s different.
technical perfection - outstanding!

#133

“One small step for man,… one giant leap for CG.”
I can’t believe I’m the first person to come up with that one!
Incredible job! Almost too good to be true.

#134

Didn’t you mean to say; “Holy moon craters, Batman!”

#135

I was referring to the difference in lighting between actual moon shot landings and the rendering…the real photos have much more contrast than the render does. I am not advocating the conspiracy theory…

#136

Very, very realistic and beautifull light work

#137

fantastic work. 5 stars and no word for it!!! (sound of dropping my tougn. HAHA)

Anyway, really admirable work. Keep it up!

#138

HOLY S@#$ !:argh:,THIS IS STELLAR WORK

#139

Great Render! five star

#140
