China house

My current old-old WIP.

Some tests for water lily.

Trees and plants

The trees and plants in 3d always were a real headache for me. Here are some experiments in trees for one of my personal project — china house. First of all, the tree must have a "true", "treelike" geometry. One of important things, that leafs should face to sky. In my case, I used Maya's Paint FX trees, with a lot of tunings, converting to poly assigning mia material and render via mentalray.

My morning thoughts

The dream of every iphone user:

Master Zap, MR-guru, posted once some good tips about how to make realistic diamonds in MR (mental ray). However, he used 3ds max for it. I tried to achieve some similar results within Maya.

Some render:

Color shines were added in post production. Well, image still missing dispersion effects, I'll to try add them later.

intro

Hi, everyone. Why I created this blog? Well, I suppose it will help me to arrange and share some of my thoughts, views, ideas. And maybe find people who like me attracted to 3d-graphics and to everything that related to it.
In this blog, I'm going to post about 3d-graphics, illustration, graphical design, photography, music, life.
Please, welcome.
