I need money ...

Hi,

Based on an idea of my daughter.

Modelled with Blender
Rendered with Yafray
Rendering time : +/- 16 min on a Core 2 duo 6700 with the 64bits version of Yafray (Thanks Graphicall). The same rendering took about 28 min with the 32bits version !!

Quite interesting, nice modeling..maybe a little bland concept wise.
4 stars, good job man

Nice! Interesting play with reflections here!

Not as super realistic as other stuff you've done though...

Great image. Great addition with the tear too.

[Yoeri]

very good! My first thought was: oh....just a pig...then I saw the reflection, haha awesome. 5 stars from me!

[enricoceric]

Thanks for your comments,

Yes, this is a quite simple scene, it was not intended to get a realistic result, it was just a wink.

[Zazu]

I like the concept, it really reminds me of M.C. Escher's "reflective sphere".
Although visually it could be made better...

[pixeltroll2005]

Some how the pig crying made me laugh.
Good job.

[Gr8RedShark]

Great! the pig's tear was a nice and sublte touch - I almost missed it. The kid's expression is also good. She looks like a cold-hearted killer! No remorse there!

[cloud9nimbus]

Flawless...raw talent in natural form here! "Great job!" would be an understatement here! Insanely, terrifically, perfectly, inhumanly great job!

[Framedworld]

I love it, hilarious! Gallery, please!

[gallardo]

Looks great! Nice scene and good render! :D
The paperclip looks a bit too big in comparison with the pen.

Always pleased to see your work

One quick question: whats with the Birdie?

[enricoceric]

Thanks to all,

@ Framedworld : I added the birdie just to get some color and something relating to kid toys. Basicaly I wanted to create a mess desk just like the one of my daughter but I didn't add as many stuffs as I liked.

@gallardo : You are right the paperclips are a bit big as well as the pins, I will try to fix that.

[Naive Amoeba]

That teardrop really pulls this piece together. Fantastic stuff. 5 stars from me :)

[David Shan]

Really good job!!! I like it - it's soooo realistic! :)

[booga]

I like the whole thing particularly the pearl finish to the pig.

[Ubuntuist]

Great scene! I'm quite curious about the Yafray-settings. Could you share those with us? (learning Yafray)

[IanC]

I think you should play with the colours to get more depth, it seems a little bland and flat to me. However, I love the concept and it definitely gets a smile from me. Good work.

[enricoceric]

Thanks again to all,

I made some changes in the light and as suggested by Gallardo I reduced the size of the paperclips and the pins.

[BgDM]

Moved to the gallery.

A really cute concept. Nice execution. Poor piggy...

[daniel_nieto]

Poor little porky, will be destroyed! that's a very nice picture!

[DavidChipman]

Hi there,

I'm afraid I missed the meaning of the tear until people mentioned it. Did you consider naming the piggy-bank "Wilbur", after the character from Charlotte's Web, ["I don't wanna die!"]? Anyway, great pic (review from a Blender newbie). Later,

very good! My first thought was: oh....just a pig...then I saw the reflection, haha awesome. 5 stars from me!

Did you actually model the girl and background reflection, or is that a texture. If so that was a lot of work. Good job!
I like the concept as well.
5 stars from me.

[SURFiNG]

grande enrico!
Awesome work, as always!

[enricoceric]

Thanks to all,

@2disbetter : The background is an HDRI image (kitchen) and the girl was basicaly exported from DAZ Studio and reworked with Blender.

[Quantum Anomaly]

Cool piece! I'd be really interested to see a version with your actual daughter's reflection in the piggy bank. Reason being that most of the objects in the picture approach photorealism, but the girl is of a more cartoon-ish stylized look, so I feel it somewhat detracts from the unity of the scene as a whole to have those two different styes. The badminton birdie is impressive.
-QA

[kbot]

A fresh approach - there's a good story in the picture too.

[Sabby]

It's simple ,good and amazing picture,i really like it,i like this fish,colors are also very good,nice scene.

[patricia3d]

Really your daughter's idea was great. You can see the crying pig which has to be broken now.

I agree....it really brings the pic out of balance....btw, how exactly did you do the pigs texture (it's perfect!)

[Photoguy]

It looks great in the gallery!

I agree.

[blenderman345]

Nice Job!I have a question.Did you really put a lot of time into modelling just the reflections?
If you didn't model the reflections:
****
If you did:
*****

[ska'd]

Really nice, i especially like how you only get the full meaning of the picture when you look at the reflections

[Rappybas]

It looks a calm picture, but when I saw the reflection, it made it dramatic! xD

Nice idea :D

[Sammaron]

I gotta know!!!!!!!! Does the piggy live? Does she see reason, or is she to mad with power??

[DanielSmith]

wonderful imagination!

[Brammie22]

I really like the textures!
Have you made the whole room?
Very nice detail.
The tear looks awesome!

[afro.thunda]

How long do u stay up to do this lol

[JamminKing]

great idea and execution, very nice!

[eko]

Graet work.

[highlander]

I need money also.. :)
good work

[ShingWanTin]

wow, that is very cool. 5 stars from me! how did you get the reflection onto the pig?

-shingwantin

[snot_nose]

great idea and work.
but i fill like you could make a more interesting and clear composition. i also think that the pose of the girl could be much stronger (and yeah even if its just a little girl)

[micro26]

i like the concept and the composition a lot.
Great work.

[christiani_if]

Ahhhh, guys...? this thread IS FROM 2006!

[Blendiac]

Ahhhh, guys...? this thread IS FROM 2006!

And *you* just bumped it! What's with that? Don't you know you should leave old threads alone? ;)

[Keith M]

I think there should be more focus on the tear. It's kind of lost in the many different things to look at.

[sundialsvc4]

When a picture "tells a complete story," and does it in a humorous way, then "you just can't get better than that."

[Lugia 50]

nice work dude ^_^

[Perpetual]

Poor pig, seeing his demise coming. Love the reflections of the girl.

[lingeringlead]

I like it. The boy in the reflection look almost evil. The tear was a great add.

[YasminTiara]

Great image. Could you share those with us?

[Nesrail]

Noooo. This is just to sad. But nice work though. Awesome idea :D

[bat3a]

nice, you did that in 2.49 or 2.5.
if so where did you get yafaray for??

[3dementia]

This is from 2006. I am pretty sure it is not 2.5.....:no:

[JoOngle]

Meh...I need money too! Gimme gimme!

[gregzaal]

Thats soo cool, could you render it in a higher res??? i want it for a wall paper! (1680x1050)

[sundialsvc4]

It is still one of the "all-time best" images, in my humble opinion. And I would not do one damn thing :D to it.

[bryananthonydgm]

I am very impressed with the idea and the construction of the artwork. Your idea is so unique that brings so much appeal to the viewer. Very nice work. So cute and informational. :) Keep up the good work !

[ajiww]

I love it
*especially the sad story

[VizitechUSA]

Great concept and execution. It tells a great story when you look at it. First you notice only the pink pig, but suddenly, you see the reflection of the approaching girl. Then you see she has a hammer and that is when you notice the tear. Even though it is a still, I feel like I have watched a moving scene. Great job!

My only suggestion is that the environment it is in seems a little staged and sparse. But over all, I loved it.

[dOMINUS]

Love it.
Nice job!

Thats the exact order i noticed it as well! Thats the sign of good work (Worth 1000 words) =-)

My first thought before I opened this post was that it was a reference to one of the many countries in financial trouble lol..

[cruelty18]

This looks real to me. Nice concept and I like the tear drop too. Did you do any photoshop work or is everything done in blender?

[naitreid]

nice reflection and pig emotions...
I just think it would be more cool if the character in the reflection would look more active, by that I mean like it doesn't really look as if the character is actually smashing the big, but just holding the hammer in the air and looking at the pig with no emotion...
but very nice work!

[TornTom]

Really nice work! ;) But maybe you should have add some detail in the left upper corner!! No matter, its a really good work

[RemoteCrab131]

lol exactly... poor piggy bank..
