nizeee.. i dont know anything of 3D but is there anyway to make the wood look more real?, i mean it looks like its made of one piece.. while a ship is made of planks? Reply »

wow!!!!!! Reply »

KingRafox, a reald gold comment. Now the ship is made from planks. Reply »

beautiful and very good Reply »

Really nice render on the ship! The cannons are too large, and they made a lot of smoke when fired, but good work. Reply »

Reply:

Thanks, CMYK. Made cannons smaller and add some smoke with fire effect and two atmospheric gizmos in max. Im not very happy with Max effect, if anyone help me with an idea for 3 D smoke really appriciate. Reply »

Nice modeling love all the little details you have added top job!

Take a look at this maybe of some help

The only way I know is either particle based, but you would have to render seperate and composite or in MAYA there are paint effects you could use, I am not sure MAX has the same tools. Reply »

Reply:

youpee, it works ! Thanks Dante and Warlock. I used a Pclouds particle and a material made upon tutorial indicate by Warlock, just adapted to a V-Ray mtl. Grateful. Get crazy when i think is a 10 secunds photoshop work. 3D life is tough. Reply »

Looks great, nice work author. Reply »

Reply:

yeah looking gud.. from the high resolution image i guess u didnt use the indirect illumination..i.e no light bounces and perfect shadows appear..so do have a check on that and with the fire effect it does nt look like fire Reply »

Reply:

Thanks. Ramananjv, I've checked settings of final render and the only light with shadows, a Direct as sun. GI is open but if you have time see new step 15 and if is smtg wrong pls let me know. As for fire effect...finally I didnt use Max Fire, looks really crap, on the cannon i have only an omni light with Lens Effects and the smoke effect. Reply »

Reply:

really cool ship. i think it looks a bit plastic tho. Reply »

Reply:

Very, very good model! Just please put the sky and tweak lighting a bit, and it'll be awesome! =) Reply »

Reply:

thanks, can do nothing more here, scene is too heavy and v-ray crash every single change. is my last contact with v-ray Reply »

very nice! Reply »

Excellent lighting properties. Nice job, author! Reply »

Reply:

This is fabulous! Great work! Reply »

Reply:

Very cool - except what you have is a schooner (two masts) which had a completely different kind of hull. You need a third (smaller) mast at the back. Reply »

Reply:

Thanks. Kyricom, there is a third mast on back, is broken and in its way to fall. Reply »

Reply:

Oh yes, I see now. Sorry. Might consider having the base of the mast stick up a little higher to make it more noticeable. Nice Reply »

Great job! So many different textures.. they work really well! Reply »

Reply:

Excellent! looks great Reply »

Reply:

great job! Just a little thing, on the cover of the stihl saw, on the top, you can see the flat faces of the geometry, could you not put a meshsmooth modifier on this, or turbosmooth, just to take those faces away? Great job though and good work with the textures.

Edit: Much better now, Reply »

Reply:

Cool... It cuts well, doesn't it??? Nice render and textures... Reply »

Reply:

Thanks. Missy, fixed, I had a turbsmooth, just forget to switch on. 5 seconds of negligence and another hour for render. 3D life is tough, thanks again. Reply »

I only have a few minor quips... (1)the vice looks too shiny; maybe dull the colour of the body down as, as it is now it reminds me of a brand new babies toy... (2) the thread on the vice is not realistic enough, it wouldn't screw... (3) a comment about the sparks... if you are going to put them in... you'll need to have it plugged in!!.. :P otherwise a good entry... Reply »

Reply:

Nice work. I love your light effects. I love the colours. Maybe you could blur the blue on the grey (That holds the saw) a bit more, so that would become more natural. Reply »

Reply:

JamesD, thanks for yours very accurate critics, I've go down reflections on the vice as much I could for such a massive piece. Also give a blue tint. Complet change the thread. I was lazy on first version, made it from a simple hose. The new one is a cylinder boolean modified with 2 Helix. The sparks have to wait, i have problems with rotation since I' ve moved the objects and lost the 0 absolute world. Marcia, blured a little the blue, just a little, is my last reflection here and i love reflections. Reply »

still laughing author... yep, this is what one does in 3d, with ocassional "extrude..." Reply »

Reply:

This one is very very good! I just don't like the texture, ARGH, it's sooo 'crooked' and all. Just change UV mapping it'll be great Also, the image is blurry, looks like you resized a small-res render. But it's awesome anyway, gl! =) Reply »

Looks good. I like it! The details and the various objects makes the scene come to life. I also like the fact that you've done a detailed SBS that clearly shows your work!

I don't know about 3DS Max's capabilities, but It may look even better with better shadowing (for example "Final Gather" Global Illumination, with the window as the main lightsource). You could also use focal blur the bars. And adjust the cameras focal length to cover more of your work! But that's just my opinion. Good job anyway!

dka, 5 seconds before reading your comment I' ve noticed that I forgot to switch on the V-Ray shadow on the key photometric light. Tonight my brain and my CPU are burning. I shall try a new render tomorow. Thanks, great minds think same way

About the lens coverage. I' ve work on cm measure units. All room have exactly 6 x 2,5 meters, like a real prison cell. I wish to suggest a real straight space. Reply »

nice job Reply »

Very nice, looks like a bad prison Reply »

Reply:

great Reply »

Reply:

great rendition of a cell (note - normally, garbage cans are not allowed inside the cell, just a bunk, toilet/sink, and a desk area, everything made out of metal and steel....and rather than cups and what not, you'd probably see commisary products there, like snacks, deoderant, toothpaste, and hey, you can even buy Nike's in jail!)

The idea and structure are good, but it terribly lacks colour, and, since th theme is cityscape, I'd say you should focus on a whole city, not on a few buildings. =) Reply »

Reply:

Nice idea! The image should be a bit darker to emphasize the spot light. Reply »

Reply:

theme is to create a cityscape and not a building.zoom out the camera and place some building blocks around the area and concentrate little bit on texture.textures plays importrnt role in 3d renders. Reply »

Reply:

thanks for good critics. I have added only few buildings on back. If I zoom out more, the red globes on cameras are no more visible. And, in my mind, those red light are ”le clou” of this work. As I says in SBS I prefered to not assign textures and to keep only grey nuances to suggest the monotony of this city. Maybe is wrong but this is my vision about future. Reply »

Reply:

nice idea, it looks like aprison Reply »

Reply:

I understand completely! Reply »

Reply:

I thought it was supposed to be futuristic - this looks like now. (good job) Reply »

Reply:

this is a great entry pitty it is a little off theme. as far as future goes i think your on track but it is the city view that is not meet. good luck , you have time to change it. Reply »

Reply:

Prison was the first thing that came in to my mind when I saw this too. Great mood and lighting Reply »

Reply:

Reminds me of Escher Reply »

Reply:

It looks great, but, the image is supposed to be a cityscape. That means a view of the whole city or from bird perspective... So, just change the camera angle and do some tweaks. =) I'm holding my vote for now =) Reply »

Reply:

LOL, wlado, I have not wings and my cat refuse to take the camera when she jump in trees. You can vote, man, i shall not change a single vertex.There is no camera to view ALL the buildings in a town. So, how many buildings form a cityscape ? 5, 6 maybe 10 or 100 ? And why strictly from the top or side ? To be sure we have nothing original in our works? Finally, a quote from Razor's comment which I love (the comment, not Razor) ”I think some people need to remember that with art, and themes, we should use the theme as a starting point, not a finishing point,” Reply »

Reply:

Why from top or side? Because that is supposed to be a cityscape. =P A view of a city as a whole, or a part of it, not view of sky from the city. Your work looks cool, but really, I'm not gonna fall for few simple buildings that look good because of the camera angle. People here have made whole, structired and detailed cities, they designed them, arranged them.. Get what I'm aiming at? I know you don't have wings. But hey, guess what, you don't have a travelling mashine neither, but still you made something futuristic =P It's not a cityscape, but it's supposed to be. So I suggest fixing =) Reply »

Reply:

wlado, usually I'm very open-mind to any technical, compositional or any kind of artistic critic. But discussions about on/off theme are endless and waste of time. I hope you have the artistic knowlege to do a better critic comment than to hang on this problem like a dog on a dry bone. However, I shall keep in my mind that I found a good camera angle for cityscapes , this is a good beginning for your future critics, GL Reply »

interesting change from the usual perspective -- nice work Reply »

yay, something unique You've done a good job author, i don't know how to do 3d but this is my fav in the contest... this is realistic Reply »

Reply:

It's great except the shadows, they look like squares. Reply »

Reply:

wlado, the ground is very bumped, very out of level. thats why the shadow is not uniform. is not made by me, like in photoshop, is a realistic mental ray shadow map. Reply »

Reply:

I was reffering to the shadows of plants, animals and such, but i see that you have already correctd that, cause when I commented they were really low-detailed. I know what bumpmaps are. =) Reply »

Nice combination of Zbrush and 3ds max. Reply »

Really like the water effect...perhaps soften the edge where the water meets sand... Reply »

Reply:

Thanks, pixelkid, you're right. Blur tool from PS is forbiden on 3d contests.What can be done in 5 sec in PS suppose few hours to work on Max. Have to make selections, to assign different materials blured on Mat editor. Maybe I shall try. Reply »

Reply:

I'd reduce the intensity of the shadows & blur them a bit, and give some dimension to the 2 moons. Otherwise it's a good image. Reply »
