  • Riva Olympic

    Hi guys!,
    Last month I've been very busy for the new company I am working for, I now passed my month trial period

    Last week my boss (bit of a Riva enthusiast) got the idea he wanted a Riva boat in front of our next artist impression.. but I had to model it, this is the result so far..

    Problem is that he got me excited about Riva boats.. but this one is about 80k euro's I think.

    comments, comments, comments, comments, ??
    I think it needs a good wood lacquer.

    greetings,
    Leon

    the water, is it a real water surface or just some mapping?
    and if yes how did you make it, would you explain please.

      Hi Leon,
      Great modeling!
      I only would suggest you to put some reflections in the wood, it seems too matte, and I think that it should have some coating to protect it from the moist.
      Wich tecnic did you use, just polymodeling or something else?

      Regards,
      Joao.

        Hi Leon,

        I agree with João, a bit of reflections would work very nice!
        Your glass material can be improved too I think...

            Hey looks good Leon.

            Give the wood a little reflection 25 or something like that. The glass needs more depth.

            And the water....looks familiar to me. Probably a noise in the bump slot and a perpendicular/ parralel fall-off in the reflection slot.

              I think these little boats very sometimes have glass, they have plastic or plexi. Glass I havent seen so far (I live by the river)

                chrom reflections

                I want to critic reflection in chrom details. (it's no means that I don't like your project ). There is no color connection between reflection and environment (water). Cause same colors must be in water reflections too, but they aren't. I usualy use following trick: render your picture without boat and use this bitmap for environment reflections of your chrom. You may add sky in photoshop to this bitmap. This way reflection get right scene colors. Or you can use vray spherical camera for absolutely right bitmap for spherical environment.
                PS. Sorry for my english . Good luck.

                  I agree with all of the above, I ehink you should scale the size of your "waves" too..A calm water surface would not have "big" waves like that..

                    Hmmm, that means I'll have to get myself one too.

                    Hey Leon, very nice work man! Is your new employer less architecturally oriented and more all-round?

                    Cheers,

                      Hi & thx for the replys,

                      @losbellos: this is the water material, pretty simple: http://home.wanadoo.nl/l.stoop/Forum/water.mat
                      Maybe adjust the scale of the noise as winberg mentioned.

                      @twinxel: mainly spline modeling and lofting.

                      @astudio: the environment is a 360 degrees sky bitmap in the environment slot and takes care of the reflections of all the materials in the scene.

                      @metin: it's only arch. viz over here but many times we need a cool environment also..

                      greetz,
                      Leon

                        thanks for the material, I didnt think that simple noise can do the trick

                          looks great- and many old wooden boats did use glass btw cause plexiglass wasnt all too common. just one note- you might want to add some reflective caustics from the water shining up to the underbelly of the boat to give it that added kick.

                            yes, but not that smallones Plexi is very coomon choice by the way because of its felxibility, price, manufacturing much easier, and can take much more damage without braking than galss. I've been canoening for 10 years seen many of them, maybe in other countries different the approac, but I doubt for this category.
