fireflower

[@ner]

hi folks... it's my first work on the new forums and the first since... well... lot of time.
it's pure blender - all pp made with compositing node. and although the materials are simple (not using nodes) I really like them. hope you'll enjoy it - c&c's are most wellcome.

thanks in advance

[Maqs]

More like star flower:rolleyes: I think you should do better backgraund, but the flower is really nice, quite good render and materials, I like the lighting too:) generally without any revelation but I like your artwork

it looks sweet, but i think fire flower is kind of misleading. i was imagining the mario fire flower, and the colors don't seem very firey to me. Unless you're going to end up going the blue fire route, but it does seem more starry than firey at this point. great work

That's great! I love it!

[dlax]

wow, i really dig this... different from the usaul stuff... i agree that the fire flower thing may not be the best description of the piece (as i too was expecting some kind of mario allusion) and as the flowert closly resembles a lilly, i might throw out the name 'star gazer' which is the name of some lillies. i think it may more addaquately describe the clever render youve made.

great work, keep it up =)

[foCus]

Really nice flowers :) well done!

[tedi]

looks real nice.

[new_neo]

Just beautiful

[VenomSeven]

Neat! I like the concept and the name "Fireflower" it fits well. Keep up the good work! :)

[Sna]

hey!. Great stuff! I really like it!. glowing things are my favorite style. Since I'm kind of a noob. I would like to know how did you do it :$

[xm4r5h4llx]

I like it :)... its pretty and glowy... it has a nice bioluminesence thing going on... it also reminds me of them cool jellyfish they have in the dark "mystery of the deep" type tanks at aquariums.

[Tyaedalis]

That would be PERFECT for the spash screen!!! I like it a lot!

[[Kothe]]

Realy neat, reminds me of some psycadelic muchrooms I made for the 2.37 splash screen(I think it was that version). Love it!

[jc4life]

Really really cool. Am inspired.

[Claws]

really nice! I am too inspired - would you share how you created the effect with us? <img>

[@ner]

thanks guys! I've made a second version - jellyfishs in mind :p. I would subscribe it as splash screen too.

as for the name issue - I hadn't had super mario in my mind when thinking on the name - it's just that everything with bright colors is tabed as 'fire' somthing - and fireflower sounds so cool

[jmartens]

That is truly beautiful. But Blender 2.42? Did I miss something?

[Scepter1987]

I have a quick question for you, The picture is great, But, where did you get Blender 2.42?:confused:

[RONIN]

He's probaly using a testing build of 2.42.

Thats a sweet render btw.

[shul]

Hey @ner, nice picture dude

good to see you are still creating art :cool:

[jarkkopoika]

Really like it a lot! No crits! Simple & classic & stylish & eyecandy!

:rolleyes:and first post in the new forum from me:D

[JCTiger]

[vliegtuig]

Yeah, maybe add some fireflies.

[Modron]

@ner, that looks great. good to see you back, man! it's been awhile. cheers.

[dodgydavec]

Definitely the one for the new splash screen. Without a doubt. :D

[jaycun]

I think the blue colors are too harsh. . . it hurts my eyes.

Also, in keeping with the name of the project . . . I would try a warmer color, say and orangish-yellow or reddish orange.

[cowdude]

How did you get a copy of 2.42 or is it a mistake?

[Eleaf]

How did you get a copy of 2.42 or is it a mistake?
They may have compiled the cvs 2.42 version themselves or downloaded a pre-compiled binary from http://www.blender.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=18&sid=61ea336178bfecd0978b9fa1863f67a8
=D

[soapyfish]

Reminds me of the mushrooms on digitalblasphemy.com Great work, congrats.

[In Taipei]

Good!!! I love it!! :D

[Ryan Ritch]

Could we possibly get a wallpaper-sized version of this? This is definitely at least as good as those digital blasphamy mushrooms.

[Fruch]

nice work @ner

[blenderass111]

nice use of particles

[j]

favorite render of all renders !

[+mw.pmi]

That looks pretty kick ass. The flowers are beautiful. Minimal lighting, but it still emphasizes the viewpoint, and reluctantly still gets the entire image across very well. Great visual delivery and compositional upholds. ;) Superb!

[hanzo]

nice work, I'd actually like to see this as blender startup splash. Can you patch a custom splash in blender without coding anything? (and I know many don't like to keep hearing this but Max Maya etc can do it)

[frasco]

it looks amazing, and i think many of us will thank you if you could post the blend file, just to learn to archive more interesting glows and as you use it. Cause some time its difficult to archive this result, at least for me.

Thanx ;)

Good luck

[frasco]

[charliemcf]

love it :):):)
5*!

[charliemcf]

oops double post...

[timeless]

ooooooooooo!

reminds me of a flower/plant version of that fish that has that thingie that glows in the dark to attract prey in Nemo

(found a picture www.tqnyc.org/NYC063506/anglerfish.html (http://www.tqnyc.org/NYC063506/anglerfish.html))

[BlendMaster]

just a question, when i look at the file, there is a small red box in the camera. ane it only renders that box, how do i change it or remove it???

[hannah_oakwood]

job well done!:) nice artwork

[Tiemann]

Awesome image. My wife liked it so much she'd like me to put these flowers in a vase in one of my renderings. Any chance you might post the .blend file with liberal copyright terms?

[simpo]

Very nice flowers!!

[Zarnik]

Very nice, as some were complaing about the colours. Here you go fireflowers. But I still like the ble one. It's much more beautiful. Awesome work dude!

[@ner]

oh... I don't have time to look for another host (if I had I would have use it for blendin' which I don't really do anymore)... If you can host it - just pm me youre mail and I'll send you the damn file.

[blenderrenegade]
