i have not posted in fisnished section for a while… a jellyfish swimming in an ocean…
sculpted in dynatopo, refinement of sculpt in zbrush, back to blender, and prepared scene. all materials are purely procedural … the rendertime was insane, even though this beauty rendered on my gpu still… but there is a lot of sss and transparency, and i think that was the culprit… anyway, i think, it was worth the wait: (slight enhancement of the render in photoshop)
i hope you enjoy…
That’s one fine and scary jellyfish. I better not be fooled by its colorful guise. On a technical note, this is really well done. Like @Ace Dragon mentioned, it would be nice to see this on a larger version. Great to see you making stuff again, doris. - Reyn
thank you michalis.
thank you ace dragon… hmm that the image appears so small is due to the forum software, i am afraid, it is actually larger. so here is a direct link, that should display it in 1600x1200, which is the original size.
reynante thank you. actually, i never stopped creating, am very busy doing so, but most of my works i show in my sketchbook only, since it is “just” sculpt and not “finished” render as this jellyfish…
what I think about jellyfishes, they are one of the most beautilful creatures in our world, if your d make an animation with it, I could watch it for hours, but, if I d see it in real life, I would just run away exactly opposite side from it. becasue they are also creepy…
Beautiful color and lighting…the water looks/seems to have the perfect transition to the light of the sky…fresnel I guess it is…??..I’ve never been in their (jellyfish) part of the world…but…looks like it’s swimming in soda water…or maybe they fart alot…anyway …beautiful…
I got stung by a jellyfish for the first time in my life two months ago in Thailand. This brings me back bad memories, haha. But definitely a great work… I like the materials, but would definitely like to see a high-res version.
