nurbs +scary for me!!... great job modeling so far!

Hello!

I am at work right now, so i can´t continue my Monitor ... therefore now modelling a plant, that´s in my room.

@nurbs: i like just there roundness ... but sub-Ds are great as well! and polygons are superb anyway, but i allways got problems with polys to make nice round things ...

the plant now i make as an mixture of Nurbs and SubDs ...

Many a times have I included carefully placed little hints at what will come later when doing just "small talk". :cool:

Now i finished the plant, will texture it at home...

man i am so happy! i need to do compolsory civil service, normally that´s like showering old people, nothing against that, but i had really luck ... not having much to do, nobody cares, if i do my own stuff on their PCs

Preview on how the final might look like:
Doing lightning right now ...
do you know a way to make shadow-only lights ? i need something, that will only create shadows, but not lit the scene ...

Great work. Like the plant. Not sure how you mean by "only cast shadows not light the scene". Like making the intensity negative should create a "cone of darkness" :D . Otherwise, look at light linking.

oh yeah, got an idea how to make it .. the problem is, the lightning in my scene is ok right now, but got no shadows yet and no dominating light... so i thought about creating the shadows seperatly where i want them ... but i don´t know, i guess i will just do the lightning again, with one major-shadow light ...

but otherwise, negative light with shape ... could just create a shadow ... thanks!

i like your work too :) no i hope my opponent will not post something great last minute ;)

Do you work at a glass table train_ucl? :)
Thats really cool if you do!

yes i do, will post a photo today ... but its a really cheap one, and the my monitor is to heavy for it, so its on a extra table, which i was to slow to model as well

i think if you turn off emit specular and emit diffuse then that will make the light only cast shadows.... I'll have to check that cause I need to do it too.

Edit: hmmmm cant get it to seem to work. Although I think that the idea is sound..... i think

Nice, I like the composition.

Where is Cb8rwh!?!?! Did he forget!? Oh well, i think you're scene looks great! Very stylin. Some production AntiAliasing might really make that image look alot better.

thanks!

@vec: yes, now heading to the final render ... lightning almost done, the one above is only very preview ...

thanks again!

So, that´s the first nice render, will try to make tomorrow another one with nice shadows ...

Has a nice look to it, although I think I prefer the tighter angle of the earlier render. Nice modelling.
