New Art - January 2012
Greetings and January themeHappy New Year all! Hope you enjoyed the celebrating! And best wishes to you! - This month i will focus on creatures in 3D, and I will make the portrait of my father after i received the photos, they are on their way.. (taking a bit longer than i first thought it would!) -I have an idea of a strange city scape with lots of strange animals and creatures, maybe it will be an animation,who knows? I build the creatures in Hexagon 2.5 and compose the scene and render in Carrara 8, both programs can be bought from Daz3d.com for a reasonable price. I hope i will make several strange looking creature this month and not get distracted by so many other things..:) Add new comment
Creature 1 It took about 2-3 hours to make this creature-image, is a simple design and construction
I had to trial and error sometimes with the import of the creature file
into carrara, and more trial with the textures and scenes,
This image was the 18th rendering, so i tried several times befor everything worked well together:)
..Next time, maybe i do with less test renderings.
On future creatures, i will try to make some more asymmetric in the figure, and i should also make a character drawing first,,
Creature 2 This took only 1 hour approx. I guess, since i remembered how the
export/import settings should be, and i also had some luck with the render settings!
This is more asymemtric, but have no arms or legs, i will try to make some with that also soon.
I need to learn how to paint with several textures and also displacement maps.
Creature 3 Now I have learned texture painting and displacements mapping,
so I will try to make a creature with several textures with texture painting and also displacement.
But then I need to make UV map of the figure first,
that is to unfold the figure surface to a 2 dimentional surface,
and can be a bt tricky to do, especially if ther is a complicated figure, but with practice im sure it will be easier.
4 Creatures Need to learn more about rendering settings, i have a video instruction who covers the topic.
Thinking of making one more scene with these 4 creatures, a summer scene. and with different composition.
I compose this new scene now, and start the rendering process, with not too high quality settings,
or else it will take so long time. The eyes take longest time to render, and also where two objects meet,takes also long time.
4 Creatures II This took only 20 minutes to render. And I think i was lucky with the shot,
because, the sun came from behind and that makes the colors play in an interesting way-
Doc25 Hi again... here comes some new artworks i recently made,,
I got distracted from this month project, have being changing host for this site
and working some in secondlife again, but I wanted to make some more pictures for this months project
And thinks there came some interesting pictures this time
Doc29 I have bought some instruction videos for Carrara, (my 3D application)
And I learned several things, among how to make a huge city, with only
using a few buildings, with use of the "surface replicator", and in these picture i have used
the replicator on my creatures, and spread them randomly around my landscape.
"End of January 2012"Well, 31th today, and this month has past away..
Tomorrow I start with a new month project.
I will try to work more continious in February,
Im already thinking of next month project, and i think it will be:
"BUILDINGS"
...and maybe some living in them, new creatures.
Thank you for reading!
