Meanwhile, I've been playing with David & Horo's metals.
For this one, I took the Channel A (corrosion_4) and I changed the filter to X(a*curvature+b) in the DTE. Then put in a negative value to make the rusty bits the main texture and the greyer bits show up more on the curves.
Lit with Bryce sun and IBL using an HDRI I made from the sky, rendered using TA @ 32RPP and depth of field. Render time 32 minutes.
@user.operator - good use of being bored. Like it. Your dragon looks great. The more faces it has, the longer the render. When I converted the dragons (and other models) from the Stanford Scanning Repository, I reduced the models in several steps and saved each version. High resolution is not always required. It depends on render size and materials used on it.
@franontheedge - volumetric world, takes ages to render but it looks quite natural. Just if the sun shines through the door. I like the kitchen, very nice details with the outdoors through the window. Cleaner than mine, the kitchen I must say.
@Trish - nice kitten you have here. Dave is right about the eyes. Fur, like skin, is difficult to get right in Bryce.
@David - the second one looks particularly nice. The first too, but it's a bit on the busy side, though nothing wrong with this.
@Dave - the statue looks very convincing.
Since everyone wants dragons, here we are. I used the 1/16th resolution, usually I go for the 1/64th of original resolution. The result is quite different, the render time as well.
I'm not always very fond of dragons. When I made another panorama for a light probe two days ago, I was cornered by two of those guys. They guarded both ways back even the one leading to the river.
Completely changing the subject. Has anyone spotted this superb gallery. Unfortunately he hasn't tagged anything, but I think that at least some of his work is done in Bryce. https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/#users/8837/
chohole: boy we think alike...I was just going to talk about this artist the stuff is Awesome!!!!
Dave: good tip about the eyes I will try that ...Thanks...very nice Budda
Horo: the fur is impossible unless you are one of the lucky five that can get the LAMH product to work...Sorry but true been at this for 3 days now
David: you are killing me....I want this product so bad I am ready to get on a plane fly to England and kidnap it.....
Guss: yes a snowball...someone is going to get pelted...wonder who??
Trish
I've seen part of his work already, the western themes are in my memory. I thought it was on Renderosity in the Bryce gallery, but there's nothing. The name is familiar to me and several of his works were made in Bryce.
don't know if I can do this but here is his website...the artist in question..... http://dietercarlton.com/AboutDigitalArt.html
Yeah, it's disappointing how few people are using the gallery features to link to what is used or provide tags for searching, or even a bit of a description. The aim for most seems to be to flood as much stuff onto the servers as possible - maybe they think they will sort it out later? Anyhow, I'm still faffing with mirrors.
Edit. Oh great work with the textrure Dave! The curvature works well for high poly models and the setup is convincing, light is good too. Indeed, it's all good!
Horo, again, interesting results, I like these dragons as you know, but maybe we need to tame some more for the sake of variety?
I put my scrip in this one... http://www.daz3d.com/forums/index.php?&ACT=50&fid=2&aid=113857_f2grgtd19f4xZclQJWC5&board_id=1
sorry guys I am getting tired of the half naked women in the gallery......my bad...LOL
David: In this case I like number 2 better it makes me feel like I am walking through a future wire expo......pretty cool!! Trish
@Trish - Dieter Carlton has many exposures. Just google his name. Nice render with that guy and the kitten. I miss purple ... ;-P
@David - thank you, renders quickly but the AAing took forever. Nice results from you. The second one looks a bit like vegetation in a huge greenhouse. I like the concentric circle effect.
Thank you David and Horo: The golden light is really cool got the sky to a purple flavor.....and thanks Dave...I used green glass for his eyes looks much better.....This is the Puma from the Big cat2....oh yes I put it dead center cause I was paying attention to the purple sky....I believe the ground is your material also...from another product I bought awhile back.......Trish
@Trish - that would be Ground Texture Tiles and Matching Terrain. Looking good under the golden light. Puma looks great, too. Sizes of puma and mountains seem to be a bit out of scale, more so if we look at the shadow; but the puma is the focus, no need to worry about details. Colours do match nicely.
I've been playing with our new toy (presently in QA) using 3 spheres, gels and HDRI from inside. The first was rendered with max ray depth of 4, the second with 5. The third is a detail out of the first.
Horo: I guess I need more work on this picture I was shooting for him jumping from one ledge to another.....maybe I should re-shape my ledges.. probably should have made them flatter......LOL I think the new product will be fun to play with....you and David have been doing some neat images......ohhh got an idea for another picture gotta go...Trish
here's an unrelated thing that I think people will enjoy. you may or may not have seen it before, it's not bryce, but it is really worthwhile to watch and some exceptional and inspiring 3d work, especially since every piece of it was made by one person: http://vimeo.com/7809605
@user.operator: That's a real nice image.
@Trish: Those cats look really good, form wise. Hope you can get the hair put on them.
@David: Great abstracts.
@Dave: Love the look of that Buddha, material is great.
@Horo: A very colorful dragon you've got there. And those abstracts, wow.
messing around with some obscure lighting, this one isn't an exact copy of the tutorial, there's been some fiddling with it. I wonder....if I use the trick mentioned before, the one about reducing lighting on the vehicle, where an object is placed in front of it but with a transparency, I could probably get some of the brighter areas under control. I guess if you wanted to really get funky, you could for example, use some clever mirror placement to get the proper angle on a scene reflected to another point, from which you could render without even looking at the object directly.
the reflection is actually more of what it should ideally look like lighting wise, but with the color saturation of the original.
Trish: Albert is looking cool, looking forward to the complete pic with the snow, maybe a scarf lol. The cat renders are looking nice too, especially the puma leaping.
David: Your dragon renders are nice and the abstracts fantastic. Best of Luck to you and Horo on your new product.
Horo: The set of 3 renders on page 26 – the rusty one, like the others I like the middle one more, looks more realistic with the earthly colors. The other render with the objects is cool, nice colors. I’m not a fan of dragons too but sometimes the effects look much better on them than other objects. The abstracts are awesome
User.operator: nice TV render. The second one with the dragon is nice too. The “Bryce” dragon looks cool
Franontheedge: both your renders are nice, the sun’s rays are looking great.
A render using a golden lighting Hdri and the Wings 3D object using Dangerlad’s and Fenceposts ideas.
@Trish - thank you.
@GussNemo - thank you.
@user.operator - agreed, exceptional work on that video, on composition as well. Nice dragon. Noise is a bit of a problem.
@mermaid010 - thank you. The object looks great under the golden light.
I seem to be stuck in the snow. I think I need to melt this snowman as well and do something different
Ride 'im Snowboy
Todays free thing is........ http://www.daz3d.com/december-freebies
Thank you everyone......
Chohole: really so cute....I bet the horse is freezing with a snowman riding him...LOL
Mermaid: ohhh ...scarf is a great idea
Guss: Thanks ...fur update the artist is making us a movie on how to use the fur product he sent me a pm so hopefully that will help ...as we know I am really slow at some things...they fly right over my head.....LOL
Expanding on the Buddha on the previous page. He's now been joined by some friends. :-)
Dave: I like the extra friends....ok I know Budda and the dragon ....who are the other two??
I know this is not the right place for this but I couldn't resist.
Some people are just too good with computer graphics.
@Pam - fantastic, so cute.
@Dave - great materials, nice stup.
@StuartB4 - thanks for the link. Didn't like the subject matter but it is amazingly done.
Any ideas or hints / tips on this would be greatly appreciated.
What's the easiest way to make a 3D model of this handle.
Thanks.
Hi Stuart
If you mean the easiest way in Bryce, I'd be looking at using the symmetrical lattice with a heightmap made in photoshop.
If you just meant, the easiest way to model it, I'd be looking at Wings. :)
@user.operator: Dragon is looking nice. Idea of using a mirror would be interesting to see.
@mermaid: Colors on the object are quite nice.
@Dave: Very impression image
@Stuart: Like Horo, I don't like the subject matter, but do like the "how to" given throughout the video. While it might not be Bryce related, he did show how many of the scenes were created, something useful to everyone. Thanks for the link.
@Pam: Saw that image on the gallery and gave it a thumbs up. It's really cute.
I was toying around with Hexagon, trying to figure out how to replicate an object made using Wings 3d, and came up with the object below. BTW, have yet to figure out how to create that object.
Thanks Horo, Guss
Chohole- wow so cute.
Guss – the gems done in hexagon are awesome.
Earlier today I tried to “Like” a few of the Bryce images in Horo’s, Chohole, Guss and Dangerlad’s galleries. Although I was logged in, I was asked to log in. I comment on one of Guss’s images and it appears as Anonymous. Any ideas Why???
Anyway for most of the day I couldn’t post.
Yes, logging into your account isn't the same as logging into the forum.
You have to be logged into your account to 'like' (and use your name to comment on pictures) in the Gallery.
Click the 'My Account' account link you see at the top right of this page, next to 'Log Out'.
:)
@StuartB4 - Dave is right. Doing this with torii would be very time consuming. A sym lat is the easiest way in Bryce.
@mermaid010 - Dave is right. Shop/Gallery is another account than the forums, even if you happen to use the same credentials.
@GussNemo - I like both howmanyhedrons. You really did them in Hex?
