Carrara Challenge 48 - Voting Thread - transcendent or immanent - Winners!
Diomede
Posts: 15,073
One meaning of transcendent is an adjective used to describe that which is above or beyond normal or merely physical human experience. It is sometimes contrasted with immanent, which is sometimes defined as being naturally part of something, existing within and throughout it. Your task is to use Carrara as part of a workflow to create an image inspired by the transcendent, or the immanent, or the simultaneously transcendent and immanent.

Comments/Credits - well used one light in this - placed over the ball - worked up the result with Ron's brushes and Affdinity photo tone mapping, used a little bit of noise to get texture on the skin - severly cropped the original image - which I rendered out at 6000 pixels in height

Comments/Credits: Animals in the render are mostly Daz. Deer is the freebie from Lyn's Creations. Bullwinkle is a kitbash from various Carrara native objects plus antlers done in the spline modeler, and was originally featured in the Tomato Challenge. The hunter head and hands are from Carrara native objects modified in the modeling room. Body, nose, sleeves and glasses are just primitives. The hat is the freebie pith helmet from GC WW1 headware pack2.
Processes include Carrara sun, Carrara text, Carrara landscape, GMIC, and Sparrowhawke Edge falloff shader.
No postwork.

Notes: I wanted to do a picture using a photogrphic background plate. I was at a very primordial looking state natural area and when I looked at the photos I took, I thought they lent themselves to this type of picture. For anyone interested, the scale is accurate as far as the human in the scene as I had a photo from a similar angle with people in the shot. The location is in Wisconsin, and it is called Parfrey's Glen State Natural Area. The area experienced a 500 year flood a couple years ago which destroyed the trails and other infrastructure as well as reshaped the some of the gorge. The only way back to where I took the photo was a trailless hike deep into the gorge. It is doable and not very hard if you are in decent shape and don't mind getting dirty and wet.
