Snow Globe
-
On a snow kick today! Must be the 18" sitting outside my house.
This one is a snow globe. I made the snow using the method I described here - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=24663&p=211536#p211536
I used Krill's Create 3D mesh from points plugin on this one.
I used two globe layers, one inner one which was scaled slightly smaller and textured with a .png image of snowflakes that I mapped in a spherical fashion, per Whaat's UV plugin. I assigned a water refraction value to this layer
The outer layer is just a standard glass layer.
3D text done is sketchup using a "Fredo Bevel" on the face of each letter.
Rendered in Twilight on Easy-Medium with HDRI lighting.

Nice idea EarthMover.
It would be funny to create a new thread (or use this one) where everyone could post his own "SCF Snow Globe"

Thanks guys. That would be awesome Luis...post any snow globe you like. I guess I should call mine a "Snow Dome" because it's definitely not a globe. Don't know what I was thinking. HAHA It's more like a Holiday paper weight. I love the magnification effect though. The SU output is the actual size of the text. I had to shrink it down to that because the water layer magnifies it so much.
Oli, the HDRI is either Dosch or Evermotion...can't remember. It's 45MB!
Here's the snowflake texture I made if you want it.

Nice job, Adam!

Yeah! We're due for a new "Model This"/"Render This" challenge...maybe just add that to your title, Adam.

Sounds like fun! Could be a holiday or souvenir snow globe.

Could not resist adding my"ORB" I haven't rendered in years (and it shows) just for fun

Nice snow globe Adam, I had some trouble with making the glass on mine. Looking at one, there isnt much magnification on a real glass globe. I wanted to make thick glass but the thicker it got the more distorted....

Captain, it probably has a lot to do with the lighting in the scene. I have no environment light (sun) in mine, only a single Vray light above and an HDRI for fill and background. This helps play with the glass reflections. Also the magnification effect I experienced, was due to having a 1.33 IOR inner layer which bends light similar to if water was in a glass dome. I would imagine a dome or lens shape may result in greater magnification because of it's shape than a globe.

hello
nagyon tetszik amit itt láttam.
gondoltam én is csinálok egy hógömböt, remélem belefér a topicba@unknownuser said:
Hello,
I like what I saw here very much.
Thought I would also make a snow globe - hope it "fits" in the topic here.
