WC entry - "The place"

Artwork Finished Projects

Here is my entry for the weekend challenge.

The sky and frame was done in GIMP. Everything else is blender. :slight_smile:

So calming…and awe-inspiring.

For what it is, its very nice. The only problem that I have with it (which isnt really a problem, just a personal preference) is that there really isnt much in the scene.

Nice tho

wow! it’s very realistic! but i don’t like too much the sky… its a image?? make the sky with the World tools!!

Great!

4

very nice indeed. very un-3d.

the only things i would add, is some fog to give it a little more depth, like right near the horizon, and texture the beach, so you can see the wet sand and dry sand etc…

5

Reminds me of where I live :slight_smile: You did a great job :slight_smile: The water is a pretty good color…I might turn down the green just a tad though if I were you. I like it very much :slight_smile:

6

i personnally think its sorta boring, but, yea

7

…but there is. Soooo much :slight_smile:

Thanks. :slight_smile: Although that isn’t what I wanted in the scene, I’ll play around with fog and textures and update the image if I can get anything good… :slight_smile:

Thanks :smiley: I was thinking it might be a tiny bit too green too. I’ll consider changing it. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok, fair enough. :-?

Thanks everyone for commenting. :slight_smile: Don’t stop now! :slight_smile:

I long for the salt air and the feel of sand between my toes. And the loud lady with the mean poodle and the freckle faced girl with the red pigtails,…and,…um,…

Ok, fair enough. :-?

Thanks everyone for commenting. :slight_smile: Don’t stop now! :slight_smile:

i mean i like it… its just kinda empty… but i think thats what you were going for

Thanks. :slight_smile:

wha? :expressionless:

Skeletor has never experienced “nature” I guess…

Just because his beach isn’t strewn with tourists and skin-cancer magnets in bikinis that doesn’t make it boring…

12

Desoto, give skeletor a freakin break. It IS empty and hes entitled to his opinion. Besides, Three-Dee wants crits, so skeletor gave them too him

I agree with Skeletor anyways. It is rather empty, regardless of what your were going for. I’ve been to the beach. I’ve seen the ocean and its empty. Thats neither good nor bad, factualy. I prefere a busier scene to that of an open ocean, but like I said before, for what it is, its very nice.

Good luck on the challenge :wink:

i live in california… that all the explanation that many people need, most beaches here are full of shit, i dont like beaches either way. nice, but, yea, ive said it all before

14

Thank you for commenting. I just appreciate it for what it is. :slight_smile:

15

well, i like it too, i mean, i couldnt do it that nicely

16

Thanks. :slight_smile:

This is an update to say, there is no update :-?

I decided to leave it as it is. So, thanks for the suggestions, but I won’t be making any changes to it :stuck_out_tongue:

I completely appreciate that you’re leaving it as it is. I’ve seen many many beautiful paintings of the ocean that looked exactly like this. Empty…yes…but this demonstrates that blender is capable of both artistic beautiful and complex 3d models. Just because this work doesn’t have a great deal of intricate 3d work…that doesn’t mean its not good or needs to be changed. That was my only point. Sowwy Skeletor. :wink:
