Anim8or Challenges / Re: Challenge #10: Take a photo
« on: October 26, 2009, 09:18:08 pm »
I like all of the pictures that I have seen on here.
I think that scoring should be on realism, and complexity. Like...menamarco has picked a really difficult subject, and it looks pretty good. Raxx has picked simpler pictures, but they look more photographic. I still couldn't pick between them.

Voting
Voting will be based on the level of realism in your final render. As mentioned above, the complexity of the scene is not important!

How complex?
Do not choose a complex scene. In fact it's recommended to choose a very simple one (for example a pencil and a spoon lying on a table), because the goal is to make your render look real, no matter how complex it is.
I think I'm going to give this well a try, hope I can finish most of it this week (vacation)!
Note: I'll probably leave out the grass: or just a texture, or stone ground instead, is that oké?!
I guess you shouldn't choose something that you can't make.

You just need to make the eggplant, and then figure out the rest. Most models are just generic of the eggplant tutorial.

That's a good video. I found it very hard to make a head in Anim8or. I tend to use Z Brush for that.

If you already have a head you can sometimes select the faces around it, and get a nice circle. Then extrude that, and detach faces to get a ring that fits the head perfectly. Now all you have to do is to select some of the top faces, and extrude, and scale the extrusions to get points of varying shapes, and sizes.
If you don't have a head, you can do the same thing with a subdivided sphere instead.

Looks really good doesn't it. If you have Photoshop try some clouds over your textures to dirty them up a bit. Just adds a touch of realism.

« on: October 11, 2009, 08:04:08 pm »
It's easy in a game, because you can program it to do whatever you like. It's hard in a scene, because you don't get to program it.

Textures go in the diffuse setting of the material. Any picture will do, but best to use a UV mapper to position the textures on the model properly.
