Title: Stargazer- Lunch is Served
Post by: fleetwood on January 22, 2016, 11:30:56 PM
Thought I'd try something a little different.
The Stargazer is an ambush fish that hides itself under the sand.

Stargazer - an image with some displacement, not a model
Sea trout - Toucan
Sea shell - Artec 3D Scans
Limpet - Dune
Xenia Umbellata (soft coral animal) - xfrog

Cool!
using a displaced image for a flat fish, that´s an idea!
I´d like to know where that shell came from, looks like a good model/3dscan.

cheers,
J

I could look at this for hours, better than an aquarium any day!

Very creative and somewhat intimidating because it's staring right at you just waiting to strike.

Thanks for all comments.

Mahnmut : I checked a bit more and the sea shell model was from Artec 3D Scans. I believe they have a newer but similar shell scan available free now.
The swimming trout/salmon model is by Toucan.

Like a lot of whats in here. I keep looking at the fish though, really like the skin on it. Kinda not exactly real, but I really like that here. Its strange, but its kinda one of those times when it looks more interesting than the reality.

Would like to see several more!

Agree that you made those shells look really great!

The scanned objects I mentioned at Artec Scans are found here : http://www.artec3d.com/3d-models (http://www.artec3d.com/3d-models)

Did an update with translucency, tiny cloud shadow, reflection, and texture tweaks and soft pixel filter instead of Mitchell, but although some of the tweaks seemed successful the original light go lost (of course  ;)). So I decided to do a selective composite of the original and the new renders.

This is the resulting composite. A little different than the first anyway.

Many thanks. I have a very similar shell on my dresser...
