Realism Contest

It's time for yet another wacky contest.

Here's the deal: Create a realistic model and composite it onto a photo.

No rules, contest ends at the end of August.

Look for inspiration here: http://www.cheetah3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7051 :wink:

Happy Modeling!

Ok GS i am in line!:icon_thumbup:

Here is my entry. The composition is nowhere perfect, but I've had this problem with the scene where every time I restart the file, Cheetah3D reshuffles the objects randomly around the scene, and I don't feel like redoing it over and over again Strange behavior, I wonder if anyone has experienced this before. The scene was exported from Blender as an .fbx.

Good job Andreu, I plan on putting something together for this one myself but there's a big difference between planning and doing!

@novolume and @seb: Thanks!

The first one has the background on a plane in Cheetah. The second one has the car placed in Photoshop as a png. Interesting to play around with. :smile:


Cheers

[Andreu]

Great job, Terry! I like the first one better.

Thanks Andreu. Yes I think Cheetah keeps the light consistent. The Photoshop car is too blue, not enough yellow I guess. And png shadows are not great.

 

[SurfingAlien]

good ones Terry!
they both have good and weeks but the PS'd one is easier to tune I think...

Thanks Alessandro. Yes indeed Photoshop would be better for fine tuning, which I didn't do.

Very very peaceful and realistic!
I love quiet teahouses... as long as there's a computer nearby and a steaming bowl of tea.

Terry,
Nice !
However, I think you should correct the car's shadow. Look at the left window, the other car and the roof. The sun is somewhere behind the viewer.

Thanks guys. And yes Francois, I think you're right. :smile:

 

[GardenSpider]

Wow, I guess this one slipped by.

My old aircar picture but this time instead of Acorn I broke out the big gun Photoshop and did a bit of mussing on the shadow.

As always, I think the trick to selling a rendered image is the flaws, not the perfection. (Just as the key to making enemies in computer games more interesting is Artificial STUPIDITY not Artificial "Intelligence".)

Ok,

here is my contribution in realism.

I searched an image in the net, deleted one bullet and made a new one. I put the image in the camera and rendered out. I finished the scene with pixelmator.

Nice one wal, but here's a case for blurring the inserted image. A photo is almost never as sharp as a render. (maybe even dof)
