The least I can say is that your work is very creativ, and that you radiate enthusiasm.

We all love HRG’s work and he is so powerful as an artist that he has opened the door to a Multiverse many others can explore further. This is nhot ‘copying a style’ but real creative exploration.

There are some good explorers of this world here on ZBC, and you are the latest one of them.

Congrats!

GRIN!
There’s more!
You can render 2.5D in BPR and, believe it or not, KeyShot.
Marcus made one hell of an awesome plugin with the help of Francesco Mai:

Install that, draw in 2.5D, run the plugin and POOF 2.5D becomes 3D.
Now you can render it anywhere you want!

Hi Mealea. Yes I have used this plugin on occasion. I use it for background fill images. Like if I want some weird stuff happening behind a main model.
Thanks for the heads up. Havent got keyshot…bit price aint it?

#33

Thanks mate! Ill try that out.

#34

Thanks paleo3d. Too kind.

Hi all,
heres another ship.
I had good results splitting a basic poly grouped model at a good sub division level (4 million or so) into separate sub tools and giving them different displacement maps to suit. Base mesh must be sub divided before splitting to avoid edges shrinking back later when a higher rez is needed.
Also I used zlight cap at the end of my rendering to create a nice highlight from the sun. (Looks a bit flat without this wee trick I feel) Add the render to your alpha pallet, make it a selection and fill white into a new layer, adjust opacity etc.

Also I rendered with the mountains image as a background (Lights drop down) to get things looking right.
Cheers BFG.

I was going to compliment you by saying your ship was very Giger-esque, and then I noticed the title of the thread. Now I feel stupid.

Nice work, regardless!

Hi,
Here is the The Oracle.
Made this using 2.5D layers.
I did an alpha doc grab and used that in photoshop as a mask for some texturing.
Also used the alpha brush in 2.5d.
Cheers The BFG.

looks cool as always, how much of the detail was there before you dropped the model on to the canvas? :slight_smile:

One day I will bug you about the whole process from start to finish
but today is not that day :slight_smile:

Hi Koray.
I would be more than happy to give you my work flow process.
Cheers bfg:D:D

#43

You know I’m a fan of 2.5D :slight_smile:
It’s come out really well!!
A very strong eye catching piece:+1:

#44

Id love to know more about your process for the Oracle

#45

Can do, I will have to put together some different steps to make things seem understandable. Happy to help.

Ominous looking Oracle!
With great looking patterns to match.
Thanx for sharing.
