It's a shame you ran out of time. I liked where you were going with it. The color and contrast are great. The only thing that leaves it looking unfinished is the white peeking through and the background. You still desrve a pat on the back though. =). Reply »

@elficho, tell me what you want to see and I'll tell you how I did it. Reply »

Why not just post a decent SBS in the first place...? Some of us don't know how this stuff works. Actually, was any of this done in Photoshop? Maybe it should be in the 3D section. Reply »

Reply:

@CMYK, overall it's still a digital artpiece and it would worth nothing without the photoshop touches (background, glows, etc.) the following may be a more detailed work progress: 1. I opened a 3d model that I made in cinema 4d software. 2. I duplicated it 6 times. 3. I applied explosion effects on each one of them with different initensities. 4. I loaded the rendered image in to photoshop and put some clouds in the background. 5. I applied waves filter on a lens flare to make the glow. That's pretty much as detailed as I can get, hope that answer your questions. Reply »

Amazing idea, i like the final result, you're very creative. Reply »

I truly like the idea. I just started using C4D and know, as you stated, the explosion is a preset effect that is just applied and allows you to run though each stage of the explosion from the segment/intensity amount set. Seems this is a simple use of preset effects in both programs...maybe show how you created the model and add to the SBS to show the work you put into it...Think it will get higher votes, especially from people who know the 3d modeling software. Nice finished product though. Reply »

This is a unique entry. I am not sure how this is considered cloning but still a very unique and detailed entry. Reply »

Reply:

thanks all, @woodztockr, you are right that this is a simple use of presets in both programs and I did not say it is anything more. If you get more in to c4d, you'll know that going back to the modelling stage of a face is not such a easy thing to do. And I just realized that the model I used was actually done in zbrush, I followed some tutorials to create it. so you probably can google the tutorial yourself and thank you for the advice. @jawshoewhah, please read the description, thank you for the kind words.

Reply:

see author, i did not know you can do these things with a couple of clicks. you really should post a decent sbs for a change. you have some pretty cool stuff in your portfolio, but not one good sbs. i don't see a point in making them if you're gonna show me 2 steps without explaining anything. this is a great entry, but you could have taken the head model from another author for all i know correct?

fantastic entry, I would LOVE to see a SBS for this! Reply »

this looks sooo cool Reply »

LOVE the entry............HATE the SBS! Reply »

Reply:

@elficho, generating a c4d face is really not that hard, there are many programs to help and personnally I used facegen and zbrush to do mine, you can google them. sorry, it's already thursday and I don't want to spend any more time on it/ Reply »

This image seems very appropriate for the song. I'd love to see an SBS on this, but even as is I love it! The only criticism I have is the shadow of her hair touching the coat's collar. I would clone that out if I were you. In any event, nice work! Reply »

Reply:

it is how YOU see the song, so dont stress I think its a good peice of work goodluck. Reply »

this is great - the "construction" looks so real! I could swear it is handy-made, and you just took a picture of it Reply »

Really nice and interesting piece. Like it, Love it. Would agree though with magicsteve, I would clone the hair out as well as her helmet strips. Reply »

this seems like a good start.. i think your a bit hard on the shadows, and the details from the skin are almost invisible. this style of work is VERY hard to make look professional. but you did alright. could use some work though. (i have never really done this type of work before, so i cant really give you any tips on how to truely improve this sorry) Reply »

again, please, please view in hires, I know I'ts an awkward reason but I broke my eyeglasses and I can't work on this too much more, SBS is short, but I'm actually thinkin about writing a detailed tutorial and post it here, because I think many are hoping to learn this tequenique. Reply »

Author...although this is interesting...it looks to me that you have outside sources here...the tank, gun etc...I don't believe that those are allowed here...red flag it for the mods to check. Also...what is that lower right corner...'typographic treatment'?...hopefully this wasn't lifted from another place... Reply »

Reply:

guns and tank are original 3d models. I'm gettin tired of people who question whether my work is original. I would remove this myself if you do find this anywhere on the internet other than my own profiles. the text simply says typographic treatment, I can remove that in a second. Reply »

I did not use any brushes! it's all c4d! you'll see when I post my sbs Reply »

Again, these are not added pictures, the background is pen+filters, and the text is a 3d text rendering combining some of my original 3d models Reply »

This is really brilliant work well worthy of a fav, but I think the theme is text only. Reply »

Reply:

sbs? did u used dynamics to blow up the letters? Reply »

Reply:

Visual Candy! Reply »

Reply:

I believe you, but you should still provide something in the sbs. At least 1 step. If you don't have the individual steps, can you render the tank model again(different angle), proving that these are yours. And add it as a step. Reply »

Reply:

I　will Reply »

if thats your sbs then i guess thats all we get lol..... would have been nice to see the individual images you have placeed within the words... I have just downloaded the program and can't figure out a thing lol.... goodluck anyway author. Reply »

other details: font created using illustrator paths, explosion is a built in effect. letters are saperate objects so that they can be rotated. Reply »

Reply:

SBS will be uploaded tommorow(in about 13 hours) Reply »

Reply:

I'm not sure what you would call it.. it's the depth descending horizon line (the line that goes through the center of the earth) a little closer to the viewer so you don't have all that distortion in the bottom of the half circle of the question mark.. if you know what I'm talking about ..it's a great image.. if the disruption in the front wasn't happening.. IMHO Reply »

Reply:

please include some Bryce screenshots in that SBS, I'd love to know how you did this Reply »

Reply:

I should've included in my description, but the model itself was created in C4d using extrude nurbs, bryce was only used for texture and lighting effects. Reply »

can we have the links for the brushes? I like this kind of image even though some would say it doesnt include much talent just to put brushes together. still looks nice and isnt that what most people jusdge images by? good luck Reply »

I have to agree with Rob... Reply »

as far as im concerned, you still need talent to use brushes... i have trouble with them and avoid at all costs lol. I think the image is very nice and you can tell it did in fact take you some time. Goodluck author Reply »

Reply:

I think this is really good, great effect. Reply »

Reply:

Hi robvdn, There is no problem using brushes, it is just like tools in photoshop, how interestingly and cleverly you are using it, that is more important. If you are totally depending on brushes and filters the aesthetic value of the design will lose. But here author used his imagination and used the brushes. I am not seeing any problem in that.

I like the way it looks very musical. Lots of movement from an otherwise static image. Good job! Reply »

i have seen this before posted on creative profiles around the internet, and unless you can PROVE that this is you, then you need to pull this and i will red-flag it. and by saying 'no one knows who Jake Bian is anyway' and talking in third person, rather than saying 'no one knows who i am anyway' pretty much is saying that this isnt your work because your referring to someone other than yourself. im not saying it ISNT you, but never-the-less assuming that this IS yours, it was created before this contest started, therefor making it null and void. so come back when you have something different Reply »

If the artwork is yours, author, be brave and post a stp by step of how you made it. You can simply hide some layers and save as .jpg a few steps of your layers and one with the vector is enough Reply »

this truly is amazing work, but DO post a step by step guide. however, i'm not sure this is 100% on theme considering there are lots of brushes used here. you should also remove your name from the image. but nevertheless an outstanding entry! Reply »

it look awsome, very trippy infact. However rules state you need a SBS and names aren't allowed on images no matter what. I do hope you fix this before it is removed cause its good Reply »

how's the sbs not clear? I showed the original render generated from c4d. Reply »

The sbs is fine for me. I think this is an exception since it is an old image. You didn't expect to use it, thus not saving certain steps. Reply »

visually this is FANTASTIC. A few more steps in your SBS would have been great. I know it is hard with old creations. GL Reply »
