Game On 5 - Random Objects

NGartplay

This is a pretty simple challenge.  Take a random set of objects, put them into a shiny mirror/chrome sphere with a light and render.

I'll attach my file to get you started.  Here's what the file looks like.

I created the objects so you are welcome to save them and use them in your renders as you like.  The 'leaf pile' was created in C4D.

Electro-Elvis

Thanks for the new challenge. I love how you used a terrain to create these red squares on the ground. Great idea

hubert

NGartplay: Wild and wonderful! I love the flow and the color scheme.

A nice challenge! Only that concept of "Inside a Shiny Sphere" escapes me. Could you please elaborate and explain??  ;)

Wow that looks awesome NGartplay thanks for another file and challenge.

Horo

NGartplay - thank you for the file, I will give it a try ...

adbc

NGartplay : great abstract, thanks for the file and the challenge.

NGartplay

Enjoy folks!

Hubert, I'm shaking my head at you.  Have a sit down with your woodies and they'll explain it to you ;)

NGartplay

Another attempt.  Changed the sky and some materials plus the POV.

I rendered with regular quality because it wanted to take a long time on a higher quality.

Wow that looks amazing, a bit busy but very colorful NGartplay

NGartplay

Hey mermaid, it is busy.  I changed one of the mats and it exploded with tiny details.  I think the image suffers from bad placement of the objects but I'm going to admit to being lazy and not wanting to spend long times rendering to get it right   :p

adbc

NGartplay : very special and colourful render, facinating.

hubert

NGartplay: Fascinating Outer Space spelunking with cool intricate reflections.

A good suggestion, but it has a major flaw: Woodies are not capable of self-reflection, how could they explain shiny stuff?! ;)

Horo

NGartplay - beautiful variant.

Yellow Pen

Hey that looks beautiful NGartplay.... I 'll try it too.

Horo

Thank you again, NGartplay for the file. I loved the effect how the centre appears to be far  back, like a tunnel. I did only a small change because I wanted to retain this effect of going into the distance. I moved the whole set to the world centre, added a cube partly within and partly outside the main sphere and gave it reflection, some transparency with a low refraction of 75 and the colour for diffuse I used the same but the colour spectrum moved by 180°. An HDRI from inside, without shadows, some Specular and a bit of negative HDRI Effect. The camera moved slightly and also narrowed the FoV by just 5°. I reduced Haze a bit and set max ray depth from 6 to 8.

NGartplay

Horo, that looks like a magic garden...gorgeous!!  I'm so impressed and also grateful that you gave it go.

mermaid010

Wow Horo that's magnificent, the tunnel effect is awesome.

Hansmar

NGArtplay, thanks for another challenge and file. And I love those fantasy-psychedelic-album cover renders.

NGartplay

Hansmar, trippy :)

Horo

Thank you NGartplay and mermaid.

hubert

Horo: Just beautiful. I see a magical garden or forest too. The depth effect is amazing!

adbc

Horo : it's just fantastic, I also see a magic garden.

Horo

Thank you hubert and adbc.

Yellow Pen

WOW Horo - this is really wonderful, an outstanding Work... looks like a fairytail. Fantastic....

Horo

Thank you Yellow Pen.

NGartplay

A couple of Bryce installed spiral staircases and a shiny sphere.

adbc

NGartplay : wonderful image, the effect of the stairs is facinating.

Horo

NGartplay - nicely done staircases render.

mermaid010

NGartplay beautiful effect with the stairs

hubert

NGartplay: Cool stuff! -- Wild staircases, a shiny sphere... this reminds me of the famous Scottish artist Mac Escher. Oops... I meant the Dutch artist M.C. Escher! ;)

NGartplay

Mac Escher, haha :)

Thank you all!
