A Guiding Light . . .

'Morning all . . . :slight_smile:

Hopefully all the water craft in the area will be navigated in the proper direction with the help of this guiding light. :wink:

I realize that this image is a little different from most, but I had to give it a try. :rolleyes:

Have a good one & Iā€™ll seeā€™ya later . . . :cool: Mark.

PS: ( Did a re-rendering with some background fog to help blend in the horizon. ) :wink:

#2

Those stairs going into such a turbulant sea are awesome!

:+1:

I also like the waves and heavy chop on the water. Great affect. :+1:

The only thing that is missing (in my mind, which weā€™ve all come to understand to be somewhat maxed outā€¦ :wink: )
would be some fog and depth cue. It would break up that straight line defining the lighthouse lighting.

But as usual Mark, you da man!

Okay wait a minute, I like the wood doors too. :+1:

Hi Kat . . . :slight_smile:

Thanks for the comments. :slight_smile: I did use the ā€œDepth Cueā€, if you look closely you can see where the depth starts itā€™s blurring right in back of the light house & gets very blurry at the very back. As far as the ā€œFogā€ goes, I used the Fog with an Alpha to get the rain, but maybe Iā€™ll play with it some more & see if I can get both. :rolleyes:

Have a good one & Iā€™ll talk toā€™ya later . . . :cool: Mark.

I put my glasses on (not a joke) and took another look. I can see your cue a bit.

Hmmmm. Canā€™t quite put my finger on it, but the lighthouse light is too perfect.

That or Iā€™m NOT perfect and am getting too damn finnickyā€¦(gee now wouldnā€™t THAT be a surprise!)

I will be posting something I built in 3DS Max and then imported to ZBrush for finishing. (I only have the demo of 3DSM, so Iā€™m trying to use the hell out of it for the next 15 daysā€¦)

Then i gotta rob a bank so I can go buy it!

:smiley: (Thatā€™s another joke Mr.Government Bot roaming the net for keywords)

SO once I post this thing, please feel free to pick it apart. :smiley: :wink:

You rock, Kruzr. Very nicely done. And donā€™t apologize for it being different from the other stuff ā€“ itā€™s great to see ZBrush being taken in fresh directions.

Lots of great eye candy in this one. The more you look, the more you see.

I just figured out what it is about the lighthouse beams thatā€™s a little off. Thereā€™s not really any depth. It should be brightest along the center line, getting darker as it goes to the outer edges.

That idea of using an alphaā€™d fog for the rain was pure inspiration.

Looks fantastic Kruzr, wonderful job and beautiful technique. :+1: :+1: :+1:

#7

that had some real live effects nice job Kruzr.
2 thumps up on that one.

#8

The waves at the bottom right are truly magnificent :smiley: ā€¦ . , staring into the water

#9

Excellent Pic Kruzr! Well done! Lots of small detail! :+1: How the dickens have you made the sea? :question:

#10

That IS So goodā€“Very different-- great composition-- details-- mood and ā€˜storyā€™

A Delightā€¦houseā€¦

#11

Absolutely incredible image, Kruzr! Iā€™m amazed at all the little details, from the boarded up windows to the anchor above the entrance. Superb!

:+1: :sunglasses: :+1:

#12

I am now trying to figure out how to say I am speechless being speachless.

#13

What a great picture. The waves are so realistic and the detail is great! The rain gives it a really unique look. After reading the posts above about the lighting from the lighthouse, my eyes are drawn to the light a little, but overall itā€™s outstanding!

Wow Kruzr - This IS great!

There is so much good in this, I canā€™t believe the depth I feel in the rain and sea. The turbulance is perfect - as Sunny mentioned, the bottom right is particularly effective. Great all around detail :+1:

Knowing this structure could stand for centuries, It would be really cool to be inside during a mighty storm such as this :smiley:

WOW, absolutely fantastico, Kruzr! the sea and rain are gorgeous and seem to have been taken from one of those great about 2-300 yrs old oilpaintings about sea-battles or the like and the details on the tower and island are lovely and :+1: :+1: :+1: executedā€¦ more of that kind, please!
