Hey smashley;
Really nice work, man… beautiful rendering. I dug it. 
-Richard
that is very nice indeed.
! thing that caught my eye was the ice ball broke into 4 even pieces before shattering some more. A very minor thing on a an amazing piece of work.
How many people worked on it and for how long?
Yes, very nice
I second Jacks02 question.
its amazing!
how have you done the water drops running from the ice down?
and the ice cracks coming inside the ball?
Spledid piece of ArchViz, VRay really shines at that! :lol:
Jokes apart, really nicely done.
DoF was post or in camera? Looks very very convincing.
Lele
Lovely lovely stuff.
There isn’t a single piece of that that didn’t make me go “Oooooh!”.
Splendid !
White leather is just perfect, how many polys for the shoe model ?
Dof effects are post I presume ? (DOFPRO ? )
Superb work!
really nice
much obliged.
Thanks everyone!
This was a pet project of ours, done entirely in our free time (we all know how that is). We started concepting over 9 months ago and drug our feet on it forever (no pun intended). I textured the shoe first in MR and wasn’t feeling it. Scrapped that. Textured it again in Brazil a couple months later, wasn’t feeling the ice in that. Scrapped that and when we purchased V-Ray for a job that was coming in, I decided to give it a shot on the piece. It worked out and since we were launching our new ID at somersault, we kinda MADE ourselves finish the piece. We had already blocked camera a while back so all we had to do was fifnish the lighting and render out our shots. Comping took about three days. So whalla.
The liquid was all done by our in house RealFlow expert Amador Valenzuela. The steam was krakatoa (Mark Theriault). The model wasn’t that heavy (don’t remember exactly what the poly count was). The DOF was all done in post. We have some behind the scenes stuff at our website www.somersault.tv in the diversions page. We also may be breaking down the comp in an FXGuide PHD class so keep yer eyes peeled.
