After Sphere, the gallery with all the creations that complies with the simple rule can be brought to a sphere (with absurd results!) here Greeblelicious: a gallery of images made using Greeble plugin!

For those who do not know what Greeble is… I say quickly that it is a free plugin for 3ds max, very easy to use, which allows you to quickly add new geometries (“science fiction” style) to any object in the scene (see review Greeble).

Many people like to create imaginary worlds and scenarios with Greeble, so Richard thought to create a gallery for this kind of images: made using greeble plugin. In this gallery you can also vote and comment every single futuristic creation!

Many images enchanted me. Here my favourites:

And now what are you thinking to do?

You browse the whole Greeblelicious site or you’ll run to download the plug Greeble (recently updated to 3ds max 2009) and create the next new world?

I loved very much to read your comments on the previous post! It’s quite difficult to tell fake or real… I see.

If I had found similar pictures , without knowing the origin, I have no doubt that: <<but that kind of debate is this? Think of images… what the argument therefore? I don’t understand something? >>.

The software is at the stage of evolution that the complete photorealism is possible, at least for still images. Let me add that this is not enough, we need also that the “artists” decide to work with!!

Finally this is the result of the combination of great representation artits and advanced rendering and modeling software.

Do you recognize these images? They are the 3d models of Old man and Sexy Model before the texturization. The incredible artists are Lee Perry-Smith and Stanislav Klabik, whose gallery are among the most interesting of Cg Society.

3ds max, BodyPaint, Lightwave 3D, Photoshop, ZBrush dor the Sexy Model and… “just” 3ds max, mental ray, Photoshop (this is the discussion related) for the Old Man.

I fear when I see similar things… but don’t, if someone is asking “but how do you that?” I have the solution:

• Workflow: how to model a 3d actress

PS Who is the dog? Simple, he’s Billy…

Selfillumination 2… the dark side of success.

This picture was created for the 3D World Cover issue 79. I like very much this image beacuse is rich of nice details, it’s a fantastic 3d work.

Reflections and refractions are easy to realise in 3d, but it’s not so easy make that fine! Software used: 3ds max, rhino, photoshop, wacom tablet

• Selfillumination 2
• Site and high version image
• Buy a Vray Scene

Some times there is same contest about girl made in 3d or 2d… in these contests great cg artists partecipate, and it’s so hard to choose the best 3d model!

The most famous contest in the world is “The most beautiful CG Girl“, powered by 3dm3. in In this kind of contest there are various girls’ images: romantic, poetic, fantastic… and hot too!

In this post I put my favorite hot images I found surfing and surfing in contests ad 3d site! I wrote down my list from the top… but if you have a different opinion related to this wonderful creations please leave a comment and tell me your opinion!

Et-voilà, here my personal results:

Are you agree with my results or not?
ok! write down your opinion…

Now is easier setting a 3d scene: we can use Global illumination or same Un-Biased engine render like Maxwell render or Indingo. But in the past, when PCs was not so powerful we was used to render with scanline or something like that.

Why actually anybody use these old render engines? Maybe we love super excellent quality… sure! But we can obtain hi quality render with old technics!

If you know classic “real” lighting technic and you work with fine with photoshop you could have a great render in few minutes… or seconds!

I’m really impressed by an image found on Cg Society: look that and tell me what do you think!

• Rendered without Global Illumination

Today I would suggest you a very good italian 3d artist: He’s name is Marco De Lucca.

Actually he’s working as Senior modeler at Weta digital in New Zealand. He worked in movies like King Kong, Xmen 3 and his gallery is very interesting!

I especially like this image here: the portait of grandmother Maria. If you want to know more about Marco please visit his Portfolio and read an article about him!

PS Marco se mi leggi volevo farti i miei complimenti ed in bocca al lupo di cuore!

What’s Mudbox? “Introducing a new direction in high resolution sculpting software, Mudbox is the first brush-based sculpting tool built from the ground up to address the needs of professional digital sculptors.”

Mudbox appears for the first time at Siggraph 2006, it’s a professional evolution of Z-Brush. Mudbox is incredible, it can manipulate millions of polygon. In a demo on the site www.mudbox3d.com there are 14 millions of polygon.

In the gallery you can find awesome renderings like this pic!

• Look at: Gallery Mudbox

More and more often I have doubts looking awesome renderings: is it Rendering or Reality?

• Final work (Here you can see the Author Gallery too)
• Work in progress – Very interesting for the work in progress

The Author is Max Edwin Wahyudi and the actress is the beautiful Song Hye Kyo.
