wish you were here _ happy christmas and new year!

high reso image (about 1mb): www.giraffe3d.com/xmas/highreso_compressed_xmas_horiz.jpg

for this scene, I tried tomake up different light setups and different moods.
I painted the textures in photoshop.
render is with vray.

all comments and crits are welcome.

Geat attention to detail, I like all the little imperfections, make it all very natural, no crits at all.

Happy Christmas!

Like them all, esp. the 3th.

I like color sheme variation, nice work giraffe!

very nice compositions and light moods.
how did you do the background (sky/clouds) is it a separate vue render?
or is it dreamscape?

thanks
ale

Stellar work !

Mike

Very nice renderings! merry xmas!

Glad to see it turned out nicely, good job indeed :slight_smile:

Beautiful set of renders! Shaders are excellent, and a nice detail to modeling too, not to mention the great lighting. :slight_smile:

Did you used a higher light multiplier for sss on the candles? Just being curious, because it’s strange that the inside of the candles remained dark even when this much light scatters trough the matter.

best regards,

and i was expecting a recreation of this:

Very nice work. I really love how your wood material looks.

These are all fantastic. I especially like the first one. Did you model the wood floor panels separately?

Very nice.

Good to see you finally finish it off.
Looks great!

hi firends :slight_smile:
thank you for your messages , replies.
I wish all of us happy 2008 again!!!

aldaryn: I didnot use high multiplier for candles. omni lights with far and near attenuation. about those shadows appear. first I thought it is a shader problem and I tried to solve but could not. I think it is the trees shadow. but it has to be less inside candle. really I spent much time solve that problem but could not.

sazzle74: yes I modeled the wood floor seperately and unwrapped and painted texture in photoshop.

deneb26: I took one jpg image with clouds and then deleted blue parts and added some more clouds in photoshop. and made a opacity map with this image. and used a plane mapped with this opacity map and put vraysky behind the plane as environment. hope I could explain :slight_smile:

werticus: I didnot understand ur message.

thank you all again :slight_smile:
