CGSphere - 13th century flail - [new update and final on first post]

GFab3D · January 6, 2007, 5:22am

Hi

First of all: Happy new year for every one

This is my first attempt for the CGSphere chalenge.

Internal render, wood texture from Lemog texture website, rust texture only made by procedural’s, grid texture made by a mix of 2 or 3 photos.

Hope you like it !

[EDIT]
A new version which is in conformity with the rules of CGSphere (“DO NOT MODIFY THE GRID PLANE! OK ?” )
Addition of cobwebs and final improvement of lighting.

[/EDIT]

[EDIT2]
OK, the final version for me

Tell me if it is better than the previous one.

Wow, Excellent work! Nothing to criticise! 5*
The rust texture is amazing… Is there a possibility that you show us how you did it… Please…:)…
Happy new year to you too…

wow, great textures.
ABout the rust…
Is that like a mix of could procedurals? and is the bump hand modeled, or a disp map?

Spenn13 · January 6, 2007, 8:25am

Nice work dude

Trichter · January 6, 2007, 8:31am

Yeah, great textures.
It really looks … heavy.

Storm1 · January 6, 2007, 8:32am

Damn that is some nice work, and some very nice details.

ook · January 7, 2007, 2:46am

Very pleasant looking render. Did you you displacement or is everything handmodelled?

GFab3D · January 7, 2007, 3:19am

Thanks for the comments !

free_ality and ook:
I have used modeling for big smash on the wood and hoops and two voronoi textures as displacement map for smallest.
I have also used the wood texture as displacement map.

Zazu:
The rust material is the rust part of my “rust & paint” material (example: ).
You can found the blend file of this material here, if you want it

spacestrudel · January 7, 2007, 7:56am

Very nice work

Zazu · January 7, 2007, 2:01pm

Thank you GFab3D, that example file is very helpfull!

Eclipse · January 7, 2007, 2:29pm

:eek: Wow.That paint\rust… all procedural with no UV mapping? I can see many uses for this technique… Abandoned buildings, Old cars, Blackened armor… :D:D:D The Possibilities Are Endless

great texturing - i’d like to know how you did the rock - is that justtexturing or is there some modelling on the rock?

hareesh · January 8, 2007, 5:48am

The object just look soo real… but backdrop look a bit artificial… Good attempt

GFab3D · January 9, 2007, 5:20am

Thanks a lot ! i’m happy that you appreciate my work.
I have added on first post a new version that follow the CGSphere rules.

Your textures look improved, but the cobwebs don’t looks right to me. Seems like they should be more see-through, and maybe be draped in between parts of the chain, instead of covering it.
Good luck with the contest!

edit: could you please post a link to your entry so that we can vote on it?

GFab3D · January 9, 2007, 11:36am

Thanks for the comment frodo2975

I agree, I have to rework on the cobweb.

I haven’t posted my second version yet. but if yout want, you can vote for my first submission here ->http://www.cgsphere.com/gallery/details/?category=Show%20All&view=date&artist=&main_app=&limit=30&fimit=30&submission_id=1989

Cobwebs look alright, but some of the shape you put it in doesn’t seem all natural.

Nice rust and wood though.

spacestrudel · January 9, 2007, 3:58pm

It is a bit too reflective on that one part where it goes up. With some work it would look great!
