hi to all,
this is my final image for an open competition @ VRAYforC4D forum. the scene is provided by Holger Schoemann
I've used some spot lights as up-lighters, an off-black ambient light and the luminance channel from the glass material to illuminate the scene.
Comments are most welcome.
tnx,
george]]> Fri, 16 May 2008 17:10:43 +0000 http://georgedrakakis.cgsociety.org/gallery/613162

hi to all,
this is a project done with Kerkythea a render engine that has also some (limited) modeling capabilities.
the scene consists of 3 planes and one single cylinder -> led ligths, active or inactive.
i was experimenting with a function called instancing brush, and i came up with this.
somehow it has strong visual impact on me, so i decided to submit it.
it's a statement of how technology can create loneliness, despite the fact that it state the opposite.
think about the all time you spend on the net googling, chating, etc.
it's time that kept you away from being together with friends.
i did a lot of tests, and i am satisfied with this image, a red led light not in the mood to reflect.]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:41:19 +0000 http://georgedrakakis.cgsociety.org/gallery/603576

hi to all,
this image is a part of architectural visualization of 2 family houses.
it was fun to work with it and a good shot to test Ivy Generator.
soon i'll upload most of the images in

hi all,
this is an architectural project that i really enjoyed.
drawings provided by client, and i had the freedom to choose materials and color palettes.]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2008 12:23:52 +0000 http://georgedrakakis.cgsociety.org/gallery/590259

hi to all,
this is my entry for the illuminami contest (double res).
the scene was already modeled.
i've added the angels & the frame to make it look as if the viewer is looking to a painting or a framed photo.
it's all about angels, so for most of the texturing i've used the star shader.
the aging in the wall - roof textures, volumetric light gels, cracks in the frame are done using the star shader.
the image is rendered with cinema's 4d advanced render.
it's a straight render output, no 2d post-editing, no native post-effects applied.

i hope you like it.

C&C are most welcome.]]> Wed, 30 Jan 2008 21:33:35 +0000 http://georgedrakakis.cgsociety.org/gallery/582177

hi to all.
this image is a part of a series of images using as a model the well-reknown female model called Meg, modelled by bunk.
(if i remember correctly this is a view of the shoulder)
these series are side-effects of (what else?) shader experiments.
i hope there is some kind of artistic feeling
digged in these abstructs images.

hi to all,
this is another arch-viz project i did using advanced render.
