After this one, I can't wait to see how your other renders will look. You know that you can enter 3, right?
And that reminds me, we have about 3 weeks left to create renders for the Challenge. Plenty of time, but it will disappear if you are not careful. Time to get crackin'!
Diomede, I cannot put my finger on 'why', but the BW kilt ones just didn't do it for me - just to be perfectly honest. Doesn't really look like a sketch, nor does it look like a render. It looks like a render trying to look like a sketch. Maybe that's what it's supposed to look like? But I think the suggestion you said you got was (maybe) because it's so subdued that it doesn't pop out and grab ones attention. Very light scratches on a white background.
I certainly don't like being critical toward anyones art - ever. I really don't. But when you asked for constructive criticism about it, it compelled me to say something - for what it might be worth - which, perhaps, is worth nothing? LOL
The actual imagery in the sketch looks cool. Just the effect... not sure what I don't care for about it. Too uniform for how scratchy it is, maybe? Hmmm....
Holy Crap! You folks are really spilling out some amazing stuff!
Mark... damn, that's a nice mummy Girl!!! Fan-freaking-tastic!!!
Magaremoto, jonstark... you guys are rockin' it! I can tell it's going to be another one of those difficult to judge challenges!
I wanted to work on something for this today, but my animation burnt my whole day from me - and I'm hoping it was worth it. Working on filming the animations of this part of the story - finally. I've been looking forward to this one!
Dart, that looks incredible; I know it probably doesn't technically count as pinup art, but could be classified as 'Carrara porn' at least lol
Hope you'll share the animation with us eventually.
I hope so too! ;) Working on it. Going back to that thread pjotter made to inspire me has given me added sparks I needed to help fill holes in my story. I think I might be able to release a bit of a teaser on it relatively soon(ish)
LOL!!! Carrara porn! I like that! LOL
wonderful image Dart - better than the real thing :) and arnt they unders sea terrains?
super duper image, what a tease, skin is superb
postwork really makes it pop - nice chopice - great image too - lots to see
bottom one's a winner - in post just add another layer and change parameter to Darker Colour0 - then flood layer with that hairt colour and it will fill in the whites
love the expression on the chap's face ! and his pose
will have to go and look see that ad - great to see you putting work in :)
after Hans Bellmer once more - post work in Filter Forge and Oloneo HDR. I think Bellmer's idea was to push buttons while at the same time making us feel revolted by his concepts.
This is V$ slightly altered - displacement mapped etc sorry meant V4
Yup. Underwater Realms and Badlands terrains. I do enjoy kit-bashing! :)
what can one say but....
all these images & WiPs are just awesome
you all must belong to the
i am just the clerk there stezza
Used G3F with GCop gear from the Daz shop.
Modeled a fire hydrant & used Ron's brushes for the background.
How to Catch a Fireman
beautiful metaphor in the gushing hydrant - how are you finding pse 2018?
thanks head wax...
PSE2018 so far has been working great... glad I didn't bother with updating to PSE15 so the extra additions from that update and this one may make it worthwhile to get..
Still got 21 days left of the trial and haven't tried out some extra things with it yet but I'll probably pay 'em this week while I'm batching... mum's going to stay at daughter's for a while to help with new Grandson
thanks Grandad :)
I've just started with pse 11 though I have owned it for yonks, I may have pse 13 floating around too ?
it's Poppy
you need to get at least 14... better with actions and stuff
or 2018
Stezza - love your "fireman" image - spot on the brief!
I used a strong DOF effect on this for both artistic and practical reasons. Artistically I wanted to really focus the eye on the character's face. Hopefully the composition and lighting does that but I wanted to emphasize it. The blurring on the character gives a slight sense of motion and I think it also gives a little bit of a dreamlike feel to the surroundings.. Practically, the DOF hides the lower resolution textures on the pottery and helps the postworked wall carvings/paintings blend in to the rendered scene. You're right it is blurry - I am normally very much against such a strong DOF when you would not see that with a similar photo, but in this case I thought it was fitting for the image.
I moved the column almost out of the scene because it was blocking some of the light effect I wanted and the color and detail level in the texture didn't quite match the rest of the image and I thought it was a little distracting. I left it just barely on the edge to help the impression of it, but really I should have either left it further in or removed it altogether - it's not great to have something that large right along the edge of the image like that usually, but I couldn't quite get rid of it entirely.
Just saw that. Thank you very much UB
Yeah... and everyone else, for that matter!
Stezza - that is outstanding!
Dart - appreciate the feedback. If I didn't want it, I wouldn't ask for it. Now I have to figure what to do! Have gotten some suggestions in the NPR thread so will be giving it thought. Appreciate your honesty. Seriously, the only way I am going to get better is if people offer critiques and make suggestions.
The recent plugins by Philemo make doing custom toons much easier because of the hair style converter and VWD bridge. So, I made a quick pinup figure. I call her Philamina in honor of Philemo. Her tattered dess was draped on the figure using VWD, made possible in Carrara with Philemo's plugin. The hair started as a dynamic hair and then was converted to prop using Philemo's plugin so that it would work better with a toon filter.
Philemina will be the star of my 3rd entry (Halloween theme). Werewolf hunter on phone is #1 (PR), and Scottish Frahm is #2 (NPR), I made a lo res version and a hi res version. This is the hi res version. I think she is cute, in an evil witch sort of way.
EDIT: By "made a hi res version" I just mean that I hit the "convert" button on smoothing. The extra vertexes come in handy when morphing. Even the hi res version only has just over 8,000 polygons.
Dude, just slap some pinup nose art on it and you are good to go for the Challenge.
Philemo, you are more than welcome! You, and a few others, are now the Carrara developers for the foreseeable future. No amount of thanks can express my appreciation for your amazing efforts.
Don't know why, but this version is kinda cute.
And very impressive texturing as always.
Stezza, love the vibrant colors and overall composition! You are the master at having a lot of stuff going on, yet it all seems very natural. Very cool font as well.
MDO, thanks for the logical explanation. I suspected that you would have some good reasons. My feeling is that the figure is already a strong focal point without the need for blurring it, - and that the blurry hand expecially distracted me - but I may be in the minority. Either way, really well done!
