Ballerina

Thanks Gaieus

...some more playing around:

I love it. Maybe distinguish the filter a little more. You have great vision!

[matteo]

don't tell me that the smoke is made in su too! i know it could be possible, but it would be a challenge like carving a david from one block of marble.

nice idea and composition indeed.

[nomeradona]

as usual. very impressive and very creative.

A quick conceptual rendering showing my love/hate relationship with the cigaret.
Sketchup + Podium v1.6.
Photoshop for smoke

[princedragoncok]

Very nice. I wonder if the smoke could be created in sketchup using a fog control ruby or something

[kwistenbiebel]

Thanks!

Nah, you would need particle simulation for that.(C4d,Max, etc...)

For still shots, Ron's Smoke Brushes for photoshop are awesome.

Beautiful. I actually like the simplicity of the first image better. Adding the other "Stacks" only takes away from the concept I think. Great work.

It kind of looks like a Castle... cough.

Nice image. I am curious however, why call it Ballerina? (hoping the answer is not obvious).

[EarthMover]

I'm guessing it has to do with the way the smoke dances.

Thanks .
Try to look at the smoke pattern and use your imagination

[boofredlay]

And there is the obvious that I missed.
Thanks. Again, nice image.

[plot-paris]

really nice image, kwistenbiebel. almost looks like an advertisement for something (don't know what though).

[solo]

Smokin!!

In those grey tones the stacks look like memorials, maybe an anti smoking campaign?

[plot-paris]

uuuh, I like this idea, Solo! a memorial for the millions of smokers who lost their lives

they never gave up

[pbacot]

Nice, I like the first image. The smoke is really well done, whatever the media. It reminds me of the subliminal advertising techniques.

[EarthMover]

I don't know about anti smoking....these renders make me want a cigarette. And I'm not much of a smoker.

[Fletch]

I like the artistry/concept, simplicity, execution, all - great work KB!

I also think you did a great job w/ the smoke in post-pro.

[kwistenbiebel]

Thanks for the nice comments.

I didn't quit smoking yet ...
