#82

back for a new test :slight_smile:

[b]jeremybirn :[/b] thank for the comments, if you like the little colors, so I do ! I planed to make an other Black & with one, but I finaly kept the effect. I've tryed to correct the light/fog effects I my new image, I hope it was what you where asking for.

[b]radianssi :[/b] very nice atmosphere, it realy look like an old picture.

[b]Kay Poprawe :[/b] I like the composition of the image, the only thing i can say ; is that the rain is not falling on the ground, but that's all for me :)

[b]tuffmutt1 :[/b] nice new one, but I prefere your yellow verion(the one with mass post effect)^;..;^

[b]Voigg :[/b] i like the water effect, but be carrefull with the tree texture it actualy look "plastik".(too me)


[b]everyone :[/b] thanks for your comments too. I'm very glad too see that some people like it (hope you like the new one :-)

Thx all for the comments and good new entries.

@Jeremy
Thx for the warm welcome. As u comment, i fixed the problems. Some object attributes were incorrect and not setuped for visible in reflections.

@tuffmutt1
thx, man. nice poster version.

@voigg
good start. A moon in the background that mirrors in the front water will be nice i think.

@FeD
Thx. Rain splashes on the ground and more are on my to do list. thx for that…
I liked your old version much more. The idea is nice, but the fractal looking ground surface looks strange too me.

  • shifted some stuff
  • added a waiting character, he will get later a long overcoat
  • started texturing on a few things.
  • rerenderd the rainpass, shorter more streaks and less visible in the dark areas
  • add a lamp in the front. i really dont know if it good or not.
  • added a trunk to the car.

Here’s update!
I worked most on the textures and lights in front of the house. I want pure B&W picture for now, maybe I’ll try warm and cold filters later. There’s no post work on this render.
I think there’s still lot of room for improvements, so comments are welcome;)

#85

Really nice… I like the progress… maybe a bit more contrast in the moon texture?

#86

These are all looking great! I’ll post one this week.

Edtt: sorry didnt see the OBJ file… im tired.

#92

there is a little update with some texture…
no post effects for the moment (DOF, fog, rain, ext…)

hope u like it :smiley:

and the high res:

comment and critics are always welcome…

#93

Nice done so far. Maybe a bit to bumpy and a bit to dirty. It looks like its not in 1950, more like a picture photographed from a old gas stadion in the 90’s.

#94

i ad some fog and grain…

 and the high rez:

 i'm waiting for your's comment to finalise the image...

@Kay Poprawe : i know texture are really trash… but that’s what i want…
when u say that more look of 90’s photo than a 50’s film… what make u think that ? what can i do ?
anyways thanks for the comment : )

#95

thanks for the comment FeD I agree it looks plastic, it didn’t look like at at school, but when i got to a good monitor it did. Heres what a changed it to, but I think theres too much light on it, and I am not thrilled with the texture on it yet.

#96

Thanks for making the new thread Jeremy. I have joined Twitter as well. Hopefully I won’t miss any of the new challenges from here on out.

I will try and make a go of this one soon. Really love the subject matter this time around. Great work everybody!

#97

At the moment it looks a bit to dirty/abandoned to me. Like a old gas stadion that is out of order over years. A Gas Stadion in the 50’s doesnt look so dirty if u take a look to old pictures. just my personal feeling. anyway the picture and mood is nice, so its not necessary to change something.

#98

okay now i understand ur point of vue… in fact i’m french so i never saw gas station like it and i have no idea when they are builded… so that’s the reason im not choked by an old station in the 50’s…
i will probably make another picture more realist if i’ve got the time.

thanks !

#99

Here are a couple of reference photos of the real station we are lighting. The black and white one was taken in 1970 and the color one last month. The station was likely built in the 1920’s or early 1930’s.
