Taking a break from the beetle, here's something else:

Not complete, but good enough for now.

By now, the top side is the best. Nice to see something else from you.

Beautiful form.

Trying the boats on water:

The water is a subdivided polymesh (32 by 64 squares) where the points are randomized 0.1 in the y direction. I think this gives better results than just using bump. The persons are just single polygons with images on them.

It looks like a computer painting mixed with photo elements (and it is somehow).
While I like the background I don´t like the water to much - to rough for my taste.
The composition looks quite good regarding golden ratio - but if it should look like a snapshot I would try to avoid that (how about seeing the back of one boot on the right?).

On the other side: I´ve never made such a picture - hope my critics are welcome anyway.

Turning good! Nice action.

The persons are just single polygons with images on them.

And what about the shadow of the main character? That man is a png photograph or a mesh of you?

helge-h · February 7, 2010, 2:20 pm

Thanks, both.

Harald: your comments are always welcome; I'm not all too happy with the water either. But the image as a whole is just a test, and will be a small part in another picture, and the viewpoint will be a little different. The mix of photo and computer-generated imagery is more or less intentional, and I try to take what the medium offers, rather than fight towards photorealism.

Mayid: yes, the figure on the left is also just a photo. Since the light-source is behind the camera, the shadow gets quite perfect.

Looks good all together smile

I have sometimes wondered if it would be possible to animate waves somehow based on randomization ... scratchchin

I like all the people in the boats! Nice effect. I enjoy inserting computer-generated objects into pictures or video scenes, but I like your technique of inserting real-life objects into your AOI scene. Nice job on the light placement... the shadow makes it look like the person is 3 dimensional.

..really nice scene, Helge
I like the composition. smile

..and I like the water, too. It looks rough, but doesn't it look like this from time to time?

Kind regards
Siri

snapshot The water of the rhine today. It is cold and windy outside...

Thank you for your kind support.

Changed the sea and sky a bit, added fog and some seagulls. A little better perhaps?

It's better. And here's a beautiful gull.

Way better - looks a little bit more "alive".
