Old Gas Station

With the knowledge gained from my previous project (http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=191782&pagenumber=), here is my latest. There are a lot more that I wanted to do, but the minute I felt that it was getting too big for my old PC I decided to wrap it up. All was done with blender and Gimp. Here are some closeups and the final image. Higher resolution can be found here: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=7622. C&C are welcome.

Ahah, the blender logo :slight_smile:

The floor is perfect. Good work !

Very nice work! You also did a great job of blending the gas station model in with the ground. (I hope I am correct in assuming the ground is an image.) Lighting is also excellent. My only crits would be the texturing on the roof is a little blurry.

Excellent work. Very nice attention to detail.

Nice Landscape.

nice texturing

is the ground an image?

I don’t think so as the shadows are consistent with the gas stations’. But i think the Sand dunes are UV.

That´s the idea when compositing a 3D object into existing footage ^^

The ground is an image for sure. I don´t mean it deprecative, it is great work, but you can cleary see a difference of quality between the gasstation and the ground.
If the ground was modeled and textured, the gasstation would look much more photorealistic or vice versa the ground would have a more “realistic game environment” look.

However I really like it, the whole concept. I love simple scenes that appear so “boring” that if you see it out of context you´d never think it would be CG and you got to search the image for clues if it is real or not.

Very cool, like the feel of it. The lighting does seem a bit off in the wide shot but I unfortunately wouldn’t be able to provide any avenues for improvement.

I think the ground on the 2nd closeup needs to be set higher … seems a bit off perspective.
But the 1st and last image are amazeing :smiley: Love the blender logo :slight_smile:

I want to put BlendOil in my car. Nice work HiResMX :slight_smile:

Nice work.

Great work mate! Nice job with the textures.

arexma understood exactly what the purpose of this project was. I wanted to make something that will not shout: “Hey, I am CG”. And from the replies of you guys I think I somewhat succeed it. But you made me curious. How many of you believe that the whole image is CG and how many of you think that it’s a combination of 3D and real photo (And if so, please specify what exactly do you thing is CG and what is photograph).

My vote goes for ground is real, rest is CG (station + dunes).

Dunes and floor are photo, rest are CG.

I think it is all CG.

Incorrect.
Look at the ground and hills in these two -

Good work however to the artist. If people have to argue over it then you know your doing something right :slight_smile:

Very nice. Reminds me of wolf creek.
