she is beautiful. inpirational image!
Everything about this image is gorgeous! I would only turn on depth of field.
this is a tough one. no visions are coming to my mind.
think if i had a herbal smoke would help losen up the visions
ha ha on the smoke - just make an image of something you love. Maybe a whisp of herbal smoke perhaps?
Doesn't have to be profound, just from the heart
Sorry to be away we went into lock doan a few days agon (finally) and have had stuff to sort out.
lovely image -says just the right amount without giving away too much.
great minds think alike, I was going to drag my fishing kayak into a scene.
Your thoughts on image making mirror mine - as far as my paintings go.
I get dragged up to talk about my work sometimes and I always give the same kind of talk starts of with "Most people think that artists see more (than other people), but a good artist really sees less."
And 'it's all about suggesting things, involving the audience to help you construct the image - a symbiotic relationship."
Of course an artist has to be able to see more in the first place in order to see less in the end place. So it's really smoke and mirrors :)
Here's a detail of a work I was working on before we went into lockdown
that's lovely , great pose, really impressed you made the dress and yes, the background is humming ! looking forward to the petals and other thins - some blowing in the breeze is a terrific idea
thanks yes he is a bit of a nerd :)
superb modelling once again Stezza, and a perfect theme for the challenge, thank you
thanks Dart, really looking forward to what you come up with.
and thaank you@mschack !
"Elijah and his Home Made Orrery"
An Orrery being a model of the solar system - the solar system itself (and it's components), for most of mankind's existence, being a metaphor for the Heavens and The Gods.
Much of the lighting from this is from caustics.
Sorry to be away, got caught up in lockdown stuff!
Symbiotic relationship, that is a wonderful way of putting it.
Your painting is excellent,
I love impressionistic style, which is all about suggesting rather than telling.
thank you @mschack
I spent a few hours at this site observing , then took a whole lot of photos and stitched them into panorama
(the painting is three paintings in one - three strips)
then blur the hell out of them and painted from the blurred images and also my memory
them and then I go back to unblur to see what I actually painted :) eg oh that large frog in the corner is really a palm tree... :)
So you composed it digitally then painted it from that? Cool.
Thank you all for your comments!
I'm at work right now, but i will check later the entire thread to read and see all the works.
Here more pics of my entry, still deciding the camera angle and some little things like ground texture and dress texture.
For the roses and dress petals i use mapped surface replicators.
For blowing petals i use a flow force on simulation.
Nice, i like cc6
- Bunyip - as always, great to see you leading the way with themed renders.
- HeadWax - thanks for showing the steps along the way and the final image, frog and all. Always beautiful and informative.
- mschack - so serene! Feels heavenly. Great use of misty foggy haze. Can't stop myself from filling in obscured details. Love it.
- Stezza - excellent history lesson and modeling. I need some Welsh goblins to help me around the house. Wonderful tribute.
- namtar3d - such elegance! Great job on the created content, pose, and hair. Can't wait to see your final choices for cloth shaders and camera angles. Excellent.
Sorry to be slow to post a project of my own. I have been experimenting in Bryce to create my setting. I'm not happy so far with my results. I am not as comfortable with Bryce's materials as I am with Carrara's shaders so my early attempts are not worth sharing yet. Keep up the great work, everyone. I will be joining in.
@namtar3d, I prefer cc. Pure perfection.
Ok here my last 2 working on previews.
I think that background fits better, isn't?
Added ground texture and some shader adjustments.
I just want to say how fun and easy is to work with Carrara!
Update: I did 2 recolor experiments... i'm still prefer white one, but was funny to make them.
I still prefer the first one. And yes, the background is much better. The second image is overexposed.
Looking great !!!
Getting betterer all the time !!!
Excellent !!!
Thanks !!!
Looking forward to your work !
The pink one is my favorite color of roses. Getting even better.
not an entry just a video
hmmm heaven. heaven needs a hammock, cold beer, and a twist of lime.
lately there were a few nice mediterranian plants in the store.
but i hade to load and export them via DS.
then terrain and many surface replicators in carrara.
then using it for:
apollo & daphne chase in arcadia.
I am trying to find time to get an entry in. School Holidays+August=Grandchildren (almost daily!) But I just got news that my first cataract op is on 23rd August. Going to the eye hospital, so it's not a quickie job. I don't know if my other eye will be good enough to carry on with this, but here goes. My husband is Welsh and we've been married for 30 years and I've been to most corners of beautiful Wales. And Pam was a lovely helpful person that I wish I had known myself. I think she only lived an hour from me. After helping me with my new machine build, I should have made more of an effort since I think we were from the same generation.
So.....first I have made a woman dressed in traditional Welsh costume (Bedgown & Stovepipe Hat). The dress is DAZ Victorian Maid for G2F and shoes re-texted, and from Wilmap's Pilgrim costume for G2M, I re-formed the hat into the one that Welsh ladies used to wear. There is a controversial history about that fashion. See link below. I have also put an image showing what makes up most of the costume I was able to reproduce. The shawl is the DAZ Romi for G3F hip scarf retexted with a traditional red Welsh paisley pattern. Had fun making a bowl into a bonnet for under the hat. I am not very good at creating clothing. Then applied a lace texture with alpha. The daffodils were extracted from Tango Alpha's Country Ford, the Pembrokeshire Corgi (like the Queen has/had) came from CGT. Basket is DAZ Marrakesh Souk Basket. For now she and her puppy are just sitting on a bench from Victorian Street Props. I don't know if Pam had a dog, but I am sure she had a kind face and loved nature.
Next will be a few outdoor Welsh landscape scenes of the Brecon Beacons that I hope will reflect some of the real locations that I think Pam would have known, and perhaps visited. I have to pose her manually, as the dress just does not want to follow her arms, but got there in the end. There are lots of variations on traditional dress, and you can read more at the other link below. I didn't use my trusty Misty G3F as I could not get the Vic Maid dress to behave, so I used G2F. Unlike G3... I cannot get the exact facial expressions that they give, so have to make do with combining a few of G2 facial expressions. I am grateful to Alvin for his Morph Eraser. Saved me a lot of bloat!
More to come, but I am going to just kitbash DAZ materials but plan to use Carrara PA as much as possible, totally if I can manage it!
