[arkz01]

Hi guys, Id like to share my entry for the CGW 2nd comp,

I went on holiday during the final days so wasnt able to finish it properly,
still think I could do some more but I thought Id post it anyway....

I also created an animation for the project as I just wanted to practice my animation skills.

Hi there. Nice job! I like your renderings a lot and the animation is also very interesting.
For critique - i thinik the birds are out of scale, somehow the rain drops (2nd and 4th image) do not convince me.
In general great mood and sensitivity! Keep going and thank you for sharing!

Amazing stuff.I really liked the glass the rain drops in it. . . detailed. Great

Amazing stuff, great mood and the detail on glass woo, did you use displacement on glass? and while I am at it, would reall like to know the shader for the glass and concrete, seems really well done

The very pretty realization, material of glass the most pleases me.
Good work

Hi Bo Selecta, nice name ;-)

The sky is an Overcast image from CGtextures.com, its actually a jpeg, which I find loads quicker and produces a similar HDRI effect, just dont push the outputs too hard

Its under Skies 360 - Overcast skies - called **FullskiesOvercast0011** but theres loads of free skies there you can test out to your liking,

A few adjustments made to the jpeg using color correction within max - just as Simonhc does ;-)

Thanks mate, glad you like the name. yeah cool I havent really explored much about hdri or jpeg background renderings. I do find it quicker to use JPEG images mapped onto a dome with a light material.

Thanks for the tips. love your work

Hey Arkx. Love the feel of the images. How did you create the wet glass and the wet concrete?
