weird concrete animals

needed a fun scene to test the ppt-rendering technique on, and well… this is what I came up with…

both the concrete animals and the ground uses Vray displacement, and all materials in the scene are more or less glossy.

lighting is made with a blue-ish gradient in the override environment slot, and a yellowish target direct light with vray area shadows…

DOF effect is also rendered… nothing except the black framing and the text has been added/changed in post.

I stopped the rendering after 1 hour… my system is kinda lame, its a p4 2.4 ghz without ht… 1 gig ram. so I thought this was really fast considering all the effects…

I wont be making any changes to this one, but crits n comments are always welcome anyways…

Looks cool, really nice light gradients.

What sample size did you use?

I like this one .. looking good ..

thanks

RErender - I didnt change the sample size settings, so I guess it was 0.02

reminds me of the concrete cows in milton keynes :stuck_out_tongue:

Those are rad :smile:

very cool

yeah very nice indeed!!

Very cool

What a good image.

I can’t believe how much life you’ve given those creatures.

Amazing.

is that the original resolution?

thanks guys! glad you like it! =)

asango - yup… its the original resolution… but I did a bigger version yesterday. 1280 pixels wide (to be used as a windows backdrop).

let it render for about 3 hours and it looks pretty much the same as the one youve seen in terms of quality. but at that resolution you can see that the displacement map is a little streched here and there…
