Testing a offshore scene
c&c welcome
Ah, very nice progress so far! I had been working on a similar project towards the end of 06, but it got redirected so I never was able to finish it. You can check out the thread to see the progress I made.
Your modeling and texturing a much more advanced than mine and I prefer the camera angle you did. I’m curious as to what you did for the sea material. Care to share any settings on that? Also, are you using displacement for the water?
I love it…is that a vray sky?
looks really good. the underside of that ‘platform’ thing looks too reflective/glossy to me.
beautiful render!!
Love it.
Wow, nice one! especially love the water.
Perhaps some foginess towards the horizon could give it even more depth.
Very nice, looks like a dreamscape sea to me
great!
flavrsaver - There are no displacement for the water, just noise… The sea material is a quite complex one with alot of blend material with a mix of bump and foam for near and far water…
dellis - yes it is a vray sky
Thanks for the comments, but I’ll do some update and mybe a more closup
Superb…!
speechless…
wow!
Awesome…hey are those giant fluorescent light bulbs on the left all stacked up? 
OMG ! This is great !
The dirt and the finely detailled machines :shock:
Just… strange black frame on certain images and the last one that seems underexposed… anyway…
OMG… you just blew my mind.
This close up shots are fantastic!!!
mammoth project.
Well done… again 
some good stuff here. I would say that, overall the platform looks too saturated.
have look at this image for example. I think your render is in need of some gamma correction:
:shock:
the sheer size of that thing… and THATS how they transport them.. lol cool..
very nicely done. congrats
I saw a thing on discovery channel about the boats that transport the rigs, they actually sink the boat until the rig floats and then refloat the boat! its very cool!
