hhehehe. solo the dirty guy, biebel "mr. clean" now trying to switch positions. that must be very interesting.

kwisten,

really like these images. with regards to fast rendering time, i think we can share visopts together. basically qmc calculates longer than IR ( they are just like omni against LEM in podium. bumps, blurry reflections and displacements are actually culprits too. so the question of planning will play an important part too. dont use also double galzing for mirror. just use single face. double face mirror will tremendously kill us. i did managed to lower my rendering time lesser than an hour.

very nice texture and model.. i like the subtle light. its very moody.

hehehe... im confused now too.

ok just to clarify.

1. the model was a 3d model from my friend then i remodelled it.
2. i imported in in sketchup and rendered in vray.
3. after that i used this rendered image as reference for my painting.
4. after doing the oil painting, i pictured it and sent it here. the one i pictured was actually an oil painting (not photoshop) and the size is 60cm x80cm.

SchreiberBike it wasn't even real... this is just a representation. i reworked a 3ds model shared by friend and used it as inspiration. then i studied the lighting effect in vray and used sketchup in finding a good viewpoint. after rendering then i copied the angles and lighting effects but changing the material and texture.

thanks gai, christ... its fulfilling to hear appreciation from you guys.
my co-art teacher here encourage me always to pursue such approach, because he said very few people has both skills and talent in both 3dcomputer and painting.

gai was right to point out about brush techniques. i purposely used finger to smudge the oil on canvass to have a smoother effect but forgetting the use of brushstrokes to reveal the brush texture...

as for lighting and viewpoint, i found out that this is the advantage and how useful 3d application are. before even working, we all the planning stage in finding the right and most intriguing angles. and for the lights, i really love these rendering engines to help us in showing the effects of light in the scene. i am very happy with the outcome, but there are still a lot of things to learn both in using 3d and in painting.

the media i used was oil paint, the media size is 60cm X 80cm.
im now doing the second one "mother and child" which i rendered using podium. im using acrylic this time.

thanks guys...

i really love the night rendetion of this series

ok here is my painting#1

thanks, because of this the more i get excited and inspired. so i think i need to ride on contemporary tech applying it through painting. the same way done by some of what we called masters. the first painting is in progress... keep you updated.

Great stuff Nomer. I especially like Mother and child series. The light is really amazing.

thanks sid. i love those images too.

thanks mateo. for the meantime let me also post this image which probably i would do the same on one of the image in the future.

biebel was reminded with this one about Disco. render in podium and i use a clipmap to screen the light partially.

Simply awesome Nomer !
I love the use of bright/dark contrasts and the spot light effect really works.

Keep'em coming

thanks christ. hopefelly i could go on the actual painting now. keep you updated.

and these are another images in Podium entitled "Mother and Child"
or maybe "Madonna and the Child"

in the end i will transfer these images on oil or acrylic painting. if the artist before use "camera obscura" and photography, i think its time now for me to conbine 3dvisualization and painting.

and this are my first two images entitled "ETHNIC IDOL"

im experimetning between 3d media and then copying them on oil painting. i dont know but i have the passion to pursue this in my art. here in this series in using 3d media to painting. i experimented in using vray and podium as media in studying lights.
these are the first batch of images for my worship series.

but before doing a spot light concentrated to the image is a bit of a task in vray. in podium its easier. in the end i end in putting the omni light inside the box and sculpting a small hole so that the light will come out from that box. this box then was placed 2 meters away from my ethnic figurine.

to understand a bit more on the process, i am attaching two of my many test herewith:

Paul, hats off on your model. really excellent. jut looking the amount of details, i could never hold my words to appreciate your work. btw the rendering is also good. but really high5 for the model by looking on that photo.

and Happy holidays too.

+++ EDIT+++
fixed the double post - Juju

very nice indeed solo. the water is really awesome.

good excelleny images from you kwist...
