PROJECT PHOENIX ENTRY: Richard Joly

#33

Well this was lots of fun…
I will consider this my final image; sometimes you just have to let go…
I was still modeling a vise, playing with textures and testing GI. Time to stop and go to bed!
I want to mention the great support and suggestions I received from my extremely patient wife MariaJoão.

The glass came out fantastic Rich! I like it a lot.

#41

It is made carefully one by one .It is so fun for me to watch this picture in my spare time:scream:

#42

Thanks guys. Appreciated.
No Yan, I don’t think there is enough stuff on the bench, you should see mine…

#43

I would have like more detailling in my image like making the bench older, wood buckling, holes and dirt and numerous other little things I could do with time. Something stumped me though: the glass dome is not nearly what I wanted. Now it’s too “perfect”, too 3D. I can add bumps and dirt but cannot figure how to make the glass thick. Now it looks like it’s made of 2 thin sheets of transparent material. Could you please advise.

Not sure if you tried this but would using radiosity fix it?

Tim

#45

I would like to stay away from radiosity. If possible.

#46

There. Some enhancements in texture and lighting. This is as far as I will go with this. I learned so much with this challenge but still have LOTS of studying to do. Again, thanks Brian for setting this up and thank you guys for the very friendly collaboration we have in this place. I submitted the image in the CGTalk 3D Gallery for critics.

Rick, I really like your changes. The lighting definitely focuses the viewer’s attention on the clock. Great work!

Tim

Regards

Thanks guys.

The main light was duplicated and set to Gi Exclusive to light the shadows.
