#862

Good Luck :thumbsup:

#863

Here is the third and for sure last update. I think I will submit this one as my final, final, final one:) but I would like to know your opinion which one of the 3 pictires is best…?

#864

Congratulations Arturro for your final image!

p.s. I would say I prefer the first one. It seems more vivid to me, and I am not able to see so many differences between the second and he third, maybe because I’m tired.

Well done Arthurro, The chaos there is outstanding!!:thumbsup:

I`m suprised, becouse the image looks very good, you have covered well the mistakes in fire and smoke, and fog. Only the perspective or the camera setup is a bit strange, and tere is maybe too much dirt on the armor of the soldiers.
But finaly, have some rest, like i have, and beer of course;-)

Hi Arturro!
The last one is OK!
I think that Your compo needs a bit more contrast-but i know that The FineTuning can be really hard:). While assembling my work i found that all details separately look really nice but fitting all the stuff to the same scene can be really difficult…
Anyway-gongratulations!
U did it really well
:applause: :applause:

#871

Thanks my friends!! What a nice feeling ehwn you calmy drink a beer and your computer is sometomes off:) I will prepare some layers sets to show how I did it, and show it later today.

#872

Hey Artur, that final image is really impressive! I’m glad you got something finished without needing to rush, it is obvious that you have spent a lot of time and effort getting this right and wish you good luck in the judging! Cheers :beer:

#873

sorry! double post issue, everyone is looking at your thread and the whole thing has gone ape. But saying it’s good is worth saying twice I suppose!

#874

Climax: thank you my friend! For sure we have won much more! I have learned here more than during all my previous cg things. And Got into a great community(it were my first posts on cgtalk):beer: And yes, we will meet, not once I suppose:) Maybe we’ll be doing together some cg fx to some movies… spider man 15 or something:twisted:

Versiden: thanks for kind compliments, I also wonder how I did it… and the bigger question is why they didn’t get out me from my university, as my activity there was nearly null:)

enochian: It has payed off my friend. No prize can be better than new experience, new skills and new friends!
