Misty Lake

Quote from: Dune on December 12, 2022, 10:51:44 AMGreat version as well. Perhaps the shadows in the mist were indeed too much.

Nice eagle (3D object or card?), but I have the impression it's aleast twice as big as it should be. An eagle like that should be about 60cm high, sitting. It looks huge in relation to the 20m(?) trees.

Yeah, I agree. The eagle looks to big. I should shrink it down a little. Thanks for pointing that out

It's a 3D model btw. You can find it here: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/golden-eagle-dd0552b1f93b441cbdd626a5b2abebbf

Thanks for the link, Terje. That's a cool model. Seems to be photogrammetry, and I thought how on earth can you do that with a wild animal, but I read it's from a museum. Great idea!

Yeah, it is a cool model and a great idea. Makes me wanna try and ask a museum nearby if I can make some photogrammetry models myself

Yeah, thanks for the link. I've scoured Sketchfab several times, but hadn't come across this eagle. There are quite a few stuffed scanned birds, but most of them are ugly (bad taxidermy, wrong pose). The eagle is well done, so a good asset! I've stuffed quite a few birds myself, so know a little about taxidermy.
So, if you ask a museum, Terje, take the well-posed and well-stuffed ones! I'd be quite interested in some fine specimens myself.

Of course I wouldn't wanna waste any time on a poorly made model. I'm no expert in this field, but I think I should be able to spot a good one, like I did with this eagle

Hopefully there's a museum that are willing to help out with this. Would be pretty sweet

I'll keep you updated if there are any good news

Good luck! You indeed picked this one out as top work.

sjefen · December 14, 2022, 09:42:04 AM

I should probably also make another image to showcase that bird a little better.

sjefen · December 15, 2022, 06:25:19 AM

So I was gonna scale down the eagle a little bit, but I guess on could say thing got a little out of hand

This is just from the RTP window. Waiting for the real render.

LOL

Seeing the second picture with the eagle I thought to myself "this looks a little bit like some sort of 'Dragonheart' scenery.
Well, there he is!

CHeers, Klaus

Hannes · December 15, 2022, 11:03:45 AM

Looks great!!

sjefen · December 15, 2022, 03:42:51 PM

Here's the rendered version.

Looks good.

Hannes · December 15, 2022, 06:10:51 PM

Amazing!! Although I'd love to see the original version with the rescaled bird.

I went in a slight different direction again, but the eagle is back and scaled down a little. I still think it might be to big, but I'm not sure. Here it is anyway.
