Render this: NPR Lighthouse

Bought that many years ago in a flea market. It was cheap and the seller told me that it was painted by an obscure talented belgian artist. I know, he probably swindled me out. In my opinion the painting it's a worthless daub and, plus, the glass is broken! But the frame alone is worth the price I paid...

Trying something new...mixed-media:

Looks like snow. Nice.

andre51 · 5 Dec 2009, 21:50

Some more tries... anything not to do real work!

Wonderful Andre, the atmosphere on those is perfect. All these pictures are so great. Where's that bowing-down smilie?

Tom,

That's beautiful, but where's the damn chair?

Peter

Andre, both are Wow! Especially love the Van Gogh sky in the second one!

Peter...chair? (Sure it isn't there? :`)

Chair is there, just does not float well.

I need to do work, this is so distracting.

SU only, Painter 11, and Wacom tablet

A classic red & white lighthouse this time...SU + Twilight + Photoshop filters + Picasa(soft focus) ...Here is how I did the post-processing for those of you who wish to know

And one more for my bedroom wall.

Frederik · 6 Dec 2009, 16:02

Although that I'm not a huge fan of Andy Warhol, that's really nice dspace...

EarthMover · 6 Dec 2009, 18:38

Another.

Gaieus · 6 Dec 2009, 20:30

Now, Adam, I said to myself "what a f*** beautiful and cool render this is"

...but then 2 things:

IF the lighthouse is of "THIS" size, the other side of the image MUST be out of scale
it is getting twilight - why is there no light in the lighthouse?

But man, I really need to find these faults deliberately - the image is SOOO nice (otherwise).
But you know - everyone is being picky here...

EarthMover · 6 Dec 2009, 22:04

You're absolutely right Gai on both points. I didn't realize how out of scale it is until you said that. I just inserted the lighthouse model into a scene set up by someone on the Modo forums to show volumetric light, rendered it and changed the color balance to a more dramatic look. The lighthouse should be a hell of lot larger.

Depending
if the lighthouse is scale model of an ex voto on a table that can be possible

Just part of a minature golf course?
