Well it`s a seahorse really. It was a superquick one, I already had the model, but wanted to try a more translucent, jelly like approach for the body - she`s probably really young.

Modeled in max, textures in photoshop and mudbox - however with this setup the diffuse texture is barely visible, and rendered in Vray

Didn`t go for photorealism in this case, it`s more like a studio setup with just a plain black background and only one light source from the back emphasizing the translucency of the body

This is my grandfather. He`s a super nice person. He`s 96 already but this image shows him fairly younger. Making a portrait of him was a part of a bigger project that I might or might not finish later, but for now here`s this portrait.
Modeling and render in MAX with Vray, and I used Zbrush for sculpting + Combustion for post.

cheers

This image started as a much healthier underwater one, with schooling fishes, but along the way I started to like this sad composition, with the trapped mackerels.

Done in Max, rendered with Vray, post in combustion.

This is a really old picture, I did it a few years ago. A very simple scene, the simulation was done in Max with reactor. Rendered with Vray, some post in Combustion.

I had a parrot once and he really liked to get his neck scratched. Only when you scratch a parrot you realize that under their nice feathers they have a thin chicken-neck and really wrinkled skin, so bald, they probably look like old people. That`s where the idea for this image came from.

Modeled in MAX, detailed in Zbrush, some textures in Photoshop and post in Combustion. Rendered in mental ray.]]> Thu, 16 Oct 2008 01:01:10 +0000 http://gabcseh.cgsociety.org/gallery/683388

I`m really fascinated by the vivid colors and rich pattern of seahorses. This one is not an actual seahorse type, I used some reference photography for the modeling, but the pattern and colors are made up the way i liked them.

Something I was playing with. An old, lonely wrecked ship. It was a really simple setup and quick render in MAX, with some combustion post work on it. ]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:21:00 +0000 http://gabcseh.cgsociety.org/gallery/683383

A head of a horse made of stainless steel wires. An experiment with particles in MAX, rendered with Vray. It could be a really hard to make sculpture, although it`d be probably a little too dangerous to put it in real interiors.]]> Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:58:27 +0000 http://gabcseh.cgsociety.org/gallery/682604

A stone dragon. This was a quick test for displacement with procedural maps in MAX. I rendered it with vray with the characteristics of the 50mm 1.8 lens that I really like on my nikon for the nice depth of field I get with the fast aperture.]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:51:07 +0000
