don't tell me that the smoke is made in su too!

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

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.

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

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 ...

Fletch

well, you're Dutch, right?! I thought it was some sort of citizenship requirement (at least I understood that from when I visited there in '96)

Stinkie

Oooh, Fletch ... Never tell a Fleming he's Dutch!

Cool renders, K-man. Too bad your new employer doesn't allow you to show your 'real' work.

Thanks Stinkerd.
We might become a part of Holland again sooner than we think (we have a screw up government).
Guess I bailed out from Belgium just in time .

Indeed, I can't show the office work I am doing anymore, but christmas holidays give me enough room to do some free-wheeling of my own.
