Fairyland ( updated 23/10 - now with 3d fairies )

Well, after reading posts and looking at pics for a couple of weeks now I thought it was time I put showed something. This is my first picture that I think is anywhere near the ever fearfull “complete”.

It started as me trying to get better at env mapping but the scene looked nice so I tried to make it more complete with the fairies. Hopefully its not just another “magic ball” picture.

Comments and suggestions always welcome.

Hmm. Ive just previewed this post and I still def need some more practice with env mapping. Im sure this looked better last night - hey-ho, theres always next time :smiley:

Happy Blender’in’

(edit : fixed img hopefully :slight_smile:

i cant see it :frowning:

ahh my third post and its an apology

im looking into why it cant be seen.

the file should be at http://30bentham.homelinux.org/downloads/crystal.png

Saving the image with gimp “the path to excellance” corrupted the png but ive converted it to jpg now so here it is again.

no comments so far :frowning:

please tell me how bad it is

Well for what it is (whatever it may be) it looks good. :wink:

That looks very cool. The colours are nice and nothing looks out of place. It would make a fantastic wallpaper.

btw, people probably aren’t replying to this because your first post doesn’t work.

Looks good. Very nice feel to it. Are you planning on animating it?

thanks for the comments big grin

animating it would be fun but i think i should replace the fairies with actual models ifirst. at the moment theyre just planes with images. I wonder if I can model a faiiry…

I suppose I wouldnt need the fairy to be very detailed as they are so small and inside the light. Fast flapping/buzzing wings would be very cool.

ive updated the pic and now its got real 3d fairies! woo :wink:

the bodies were made with MakeHuman, the wings in … err… Wings actually.

the wings have got a lovely uv map but you cant see it 'cos of the darkness. oh well

im not so sure about the trees in the background anymore. maybe it should be some sort of fairy housing estate or something
