Variations wanted

Hi all,

I made an abstract where I used a set of two tapered columns in a glassy material as a lens in front of the camera. There are three coloured spheres and one spherical light. By playing with the glass texture, specifically the refraction, and the size of the tapered columns and hiding one of the other column, as well as with the sky settings, you can get very different abstract results. I provide a few examples here. The camera position was not changed between these variants, but the last one is panoramic. Number 1 and 2 have only one column as lens, while 3 and 4 have two (one turned upside down to the other). Number 4 is panoramic, as you can all recognise.

I attach the zip-file of the scene, so you can play with it and show us all your variations.

    My variations. The 3rd image was included because it looked like a starship passing by the camera in outspace.

    NGartplay - three very nice variations, the second is my favorite.

    Bunyip01 - your variation looks just great.

    Beautiful variations by NGartplay and Bunyip02, awesome results.

    My take : I changed the Hdri and replaced  the center sphere with a cone and aspect ratio

    Looks great and colourful mermaid.

    NGartplay - Triple the awesome renders of yours !

    Horo - Thanks !

    Mermaid - Thanks ! Your render is a wonderful kaleidoscope of colour !

  • NGartplayNGartplay Posts: 3,283

    Wow everyone!  I love playing with abstracts and I'm loving the results that everyone got.  mermaid, just changing that sphere to cone really helped your HDRI image to create a completely different image...beautiful.

    Bunyip, fabulous results.  I like the explosion look of this, and the front looks like footsteps in melting snow.  So cool.  Makes me want to try it in 360 degree too.

    NGartplay, three fabulous results, where the second one is my favourite.

    Bunyip02, Amazing. I see something dropping into a liquid or so. I love the fact that some changes to the same scene can lead to totally different renders.

    Mermaid010, fantastic explosion of colour.

    I made another one, where I modified the width of one of the tapered column lenses. This leads to part of the forms being rounded and others having a sawtooth outline. Or maybe it is large versus small sawtooths. Quite a 'sweet' pastellike colour-set for me, but why not?

    Another very nice result, Hansmar.

    Thanks Horo, Bunyip02, NGartplay and Hansmar.

    Another great example, Hansmar, love the pastel look.

    Hansmar, the pastels are so beautiful.

    Thank you Hansmar for the Tapered column lens file. I only changed the orientation of both parts of the lens: when looking from the side, they are vertical ^v and after I rotated them horizontal <>. I also changed the camera FOV to 91° and aspect ratio. That is actually all. After some renders, I set HDRI Effect to 0, removed IBL Shadows and could not notice a difference, except the render time was reduced to 11%.

    I rotated one of the lenses (90 degrees) and modified the sizes of the lenses as well as the refraction. The lights and sky are the same as in my previous one. This one looks like some kind of machine, I think.
