Let’s see, you’re from California…

…yeah, sure it’s a cigarette…

wink, wink, nudge, nudge :wink:

(I just heard that there are more carcinogens in marijuana than in tobacco. But we Americans are going crazy banning tobacco because it causes cancer, and at the same time, there is a push to legalize marijuana. Go figure.)

I think that you should turn on perspective when you place your objects, and you should turn on ZMode in the Lights:Shadow palette. This will double your realism.

Other than that, I would add some ashes in the ash tray.

The cigarette is very good. :+1: Maybe some wrinkles (and lipstick?) could be added on the rolled end. This could be done with 2.5D tools.

LOL Evo, whaaat was the question again duuude… :smiley:
Nice image Artgraf.
I agree with Jay about the perspective, i’m assuming the checkers are a material and not a texture?
If you add the checker texture to the background plane it will alter according to the perspective.

Hope this is useful. :slight_smile:

I had the perspective on for the ashtray.

I thought once you had on perspective for one object that it was applied to all the others?

I didn’t realize that the checkered texture was a better choice in this case.

And as far as the smoke I tried creating it on a separate layer with 2.5d tools but couldn’t get it to come out. I did use fog,but it was not what I was really looking for. I wanted a localized stream of smoke coming from the lit end of the cigarette. I don’t know quite how to achieve this.

Any suggestions appreciated.

you could roll another and pretend theres
smoke. lol create a layer use spray stroke
where you want smoke grab with mrg tool create tex or aph and set as fog in render pallet.then adjust away till you get the effect your after.remember fog only works best that mode.

That’s global perspective. Hold shift while clicking on the perspective button.

#9

For the smoke have you tried using the snakehook brush with a low RGB intensity?

Jay - The difference though is that back in the bad old days when I used to smoke (haven’t done for 20 years now) I regularly got through 40-50 cigarettes a day. I don’t remember ever smoking anywhere near that many joints… or then again maybe that’s it, I just don’t remember smoking that many. Hmm, … :wink:
