Title: So... much... art...
Post by: Setekh on September 23, 2003, 08:48:34 am
You guys have really outdone yourselves... :) I was just browsing through the first five render threads here in the forum, and you guys just keep growing and growing. But there's just so much! I was wondering if you would all mind posting (if it applies to you) your latest (or most favourite recent) render here on this thread... at risk of my modem dying, but I think it's worth it. :D Much obliged, guys... constructive criticism promised, if you want it. ;)

Of course, I'm primarily an animator, and that your dial-up couldn't handle, but here are some stuff. Renders and screens of some of my animations.

I'm excluding the one from my previous thread entitled "experimenting with some new techniques" or some such.

my latest render isn't really a render nor anything impressive, but still:

Heh, didn't notice 3/4 of the galleries were completely deleted till a few days ago. And now they are back. Weird.

Anyway, latest(good) stuff is all classified. Sorry :p

everyone is showing steak their works :nervous:
actually... it feels like "Daddy daddy, look what I've done!" :D

But seriously, I need to start working with drawings and/or 3D again soon. I just wish I got the apartment allready.

Wow dudes, I really am honoured. Thanks for those. :) Anyone else?

Gortef, if that's the way it is, I certainly wouldn't mind. :D But in reality, I think we're all more like brothers than anything else. Especially since I only recently turned 18. ;)

I basically dumped a batch of renders in this thread.

They're not bad, but I can honsetly say that the most time I probably spent on all of them combined is a half hour. :p

Untrue. :) I think most of the people around here forget that rendering is just like all the other arts - it's principally a play of the heart. Technical beauty is quite something else, not achievable by everyone - especially given the exorbitant prices of industrial strength software, the limits of consumer technology (though the second is much less important). However, a great render in any language... well, let's see, I could write an article about this. ;)

As my critic says, everything boils down to 2 dimensional representation. No matter what you create, it will end up being just a set of colored pixels in a fine grid. Remember that, and don't be afraid to do some Photoshop post-processing. :D

Of course, the more you do in your rendering program, the easier it is to replicate and edit... but you know what I mean.

Some really old pics of mine. Haven't rendered for a while now...

Banner for Hippo's campaign (http://www.hot.ee/ulundel/handstowar.jpg)

Just a big lens flare. Looks good though... (http://www.hot.ee/ulundel/nova.jpg)

I don't really like the look of this, but the idea itself should compensate a bit (http://www.hot.ee/ulundel/titanic.jpg)
