anti-gravity ray - Final Version

Now you're cooking Jason; one more thing - what if you rotate the captured cow so we get a 3/4 view of it?

thanks Martin and Bob, I will do a bit more tinkering with the populations etc and render at a slightly higher setting etc...I will keep you posted....
cheers Jason

wow! the last one looks way better than the last two,

the grasses look great! more realistic.

my only suggestion would be some color variation to grass pops.

Great imagination! Can you edit the texture on the cows? Their current skin looks a little too low res.

cheers Lane and Ryan, the next one is rendering, added some more grasses etc and tweaked the power fractal that was the cowhide...a few other minor tweaks, I will post when it is done....

as promised here is the final version, rendered at 0.625 quality - AA4 - GI 3/2 raytraced atmo&objects, came out after just over 2.5 hours....thanks for all the input/suggestions/encouragement etc, this was a fun project!
cheers
Jason

edit btw no pw! just jpegged!

everything looks good.....especially the ground...

choronr · January 06, 2011, 04:13:08 PM

Now, this is looking very, very good Jason. You've done some real fine work here.

Very nice result. The cows are done using the perlin 3D pop variation I guess. I'd say; make the scale a little smaller, or add a second (smaller) scale, and get the edges crisper with a color adjust shader.

Hahaha. Funny image. I agree with Dune tho. If you fix the cow textures it will be complete

thanks for the info, next time I use these cows, I will fix the power fractal settings, though these are 'generically modified' cows, and chosen specifically by the vistors, as their hides did not clash with the interior of their spacecraft!!!!

Haha... I love how the cows are all watching the ship like it's something only vaguely interesting... That's probably what they'd do in real life. (speaking as a vermonter). Nice work!

Guess you can't blame aliens for wanting to have a good steak, then.

I like those creative renders which tell a little story. Much more interesting than my boring road renders

Cheers,
Frank

Nice render! it makes me glad I'm not a bovine
