A project created entirely inside Cinema4D to demonstrate the internal Advance Render Engine.
I end up not using displacement for the glass details, they are all modeled.]]> Mon, 23 Jun 2008 01:42:42 +0000 http://michaelmarcondes.cgsociety.org/gallery/574741

Food!! I love food!
Specially fruits!
I get hungry just by looking at this image! lol
This is part of Volume 5 training from cmiVFX, the Ultimate Learning System for Cinema4D.
The project was created to explain the usage of HDR in photorealistic rendering.
Really good stuff!

My kid have this toy plane and he love that one!
I thought that it would be a great piece to put in the content for Volume 5 training from cmiVFX, the Ultimate Learning System for Cinema4D.

This image is part of the Volume 5 training from cmiVFX , the Ultimate Learning System for Cinema4D.
The idea here was to blend perfectly the CG into a photography to enhance reality.

The Playboy image was part of a big pitch.
Was really amazing to work on this.
The result had to be sexy and with lots of style.
The design had to be slick and strong.
I guess the main challenge was to get the right look, clean and real.
Everything played a big roll here, the model had to be accurate enough to reflect how it would look in reality and the light had to be simple and the layout was critical to show all of it in a smart way.

This image was really interesting to do.
My goal here was to achieve a nice glass shader all perfect and all.
But then I thought that maybe would be nice to break the glass a bit and add some metal sticks in it.
Worked good at the end.
It was like the metal stick broke the glass.

This was the development from the Hiball project.
Some experiments with the plastic shader and the way the geometry behaves with it.

An amazing work with pure glass energy!
The goal here was to achieve a perfect bottle of glass with liquid inside.
The challenge was to get the liquid and glass shaders looking right and to model all the necessary details with precision so the render look real.

This one was a very interesting project, the client wanted all glass flowers for a campaign of recycling glass.
It was all rendered in yafray in blender.
Really fun!

The MechaHand project was something really amazing to work on.
Several techniques were applied on the model to achieve a believable look , something that could work in reality.
All Mecha images were rendered using Fprime and modeled in Modo.

This was a really interesting project because it had several different light conditions to be balanced and a very unusual perspective challenges.
To control how light would affect the elements was crucial for the final result because the scene is very compact.

This was a really fun image to work with. The trick here was how to get the little balls perfectly set on top of each other.
What I used was basically dynamics to place them inside and then I had a perfect set of small balls inside the pill.
Really fun!
