DAMNIT MAN! people are getting tired of seeing your stuff in the CJ! STOP IT NOW!

that thing inside the hole… is it head, or part of a fountain? like faucet?

that’s the only thing that keeps bugging me somehow…

7 hours you are not in my good books. (well you arn’t in my bad books either, ok you are in my “i’m jelouse of you” books)

lol… does that mean i’m in the next CJ? :stuck_out_tongue:

basse: yup… it’s some kind of fountain… and yes, it’s a head.

alltaken:
well… actually i wasn’t blending all the time:
10pm - midnight <= blending
midnight - 1am <= gaming
1am - 3am <= blending
3am - 5am <= fixing the coffee machine, sleeping

hey andy!!

glad to see you got your inspiration back!! YAY!

Great work! I really love the mood and the lighting.

May I worship your skills of blending? :o Only thing that seems strange is that the leavs look like they´re floating.

yeah, the leaves are just planes with an alpha map and blender doesnt support alpha mapped shadows… that’s why they seem to float a bit…

looks just like a sceen from a game i used to play. Shivers, ever play it? nicely done.

Excellent. Love the style and the mood.

Wow. That’s just beautiful. Love the lighting - very expressive!

Excellent job ! I specially like the lighting and atmosphere. Maybe some more bumpmap in the roots or something to make them less plastic. But they’re great the way they are !

Cheers.

Well, i give up…cant compete with that. :x
Im goin back to bed…

I can’t believe it. That looks so real…

Did you make the roots from scratch? If you did, how?

Geez, man! I sometimes search through the Finished Projects forum looking only for posts labeled “@ndy”! I’m astonished by your talent with Blender!

hey, thanks for the comments :smiley:

malefico: yep, i thought of adding a stronger bumpmap but most roots aren’t really that bumpy…

HyTeMaLa: i modeled the roots with SubSurf, starting with a cube…

here’s a senseless and completely confusing wireframe render :wink:

Stefano

Definitely good to see you posting stuff again. I missed it.

Excellent work on this one as usual! Great lighting. Great texturing.

Ony thing missing is some water coming from the mouth and a half filled tub.

BgDM

SeeJay stuff =)

yay, inbetween of work !

thanks for your comments, you rock!
:smiley:

yeah, thought of that. i actually made a version with water but it didnt come out very realistic so i kept this one…

that’s what i wanna know: where’s the CJ?
:stuck_out_tongue:

thank you once again…

Great stuff, @ndy! Two thumbs up!
