Ernest Burden III Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I had posted this on CGtalk when someone asked for ideas about wood floors, might as well put it here, as well. This bit of floor (c4d file, some polys and 1 mat) was a combination of mapping and modeling--no textures--just shaders within Cinema. The mapping will fall apart if moved even a little. But the texture tag, if applied to a single plane shoud behave nicely. It would need to be rotated 45 degrees using the texture tool for a regular floor. It is a piece of the floor in this illustration: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Wow Ernest, I've not seen this image before. It's spectacular! Mind sharing a bit of your process for creating the image? Particularly about your post-processing method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 Mind sharing a bit of your process for creating the image? Particularly about your post-processing method? It's more of the same. Have you read my earlier posts answering that basic question? Or read my project log from earlier this year? It's all covered in those. But in a short version-- I take a regular GI raytrace and add noise, play with contrast and saturation. That's it. Thanks for the kind words, too!

STRAT Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 EBIII has a wonderful style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 EBIII has a wonderful style. Thanks. I'm tired of it, but it sells renderings. Stephen Would you DL the file and give me an opinion on the shader? It's a frankenstein, but I was pleased with the results. I wonder what you think?

STRAT Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 sure, no probs. but it'll have to wait until i get to work on monday. i no have cinema at home i'll report back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHE Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Ernest, This rendering is sweet. I really like what you do to your images in post-production. If I'm not mistaking, it looks like you apply a reflective material to some of your geometry just to get a reflection pass and then use it as a layer in Photoshop. I've learned tons just by looking at and analyzing your beautiful renderings. Thanks for sharing. Ernesto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do. That's because I can. Cinema easily saves layered files, and I love being able to play around with reflections in post. Although, I rarely adjust them by very much, as I've already set the reflectivity to what I want as setup to render. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Nelson Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Nice one! Does c4d do area shadows? Those shadows from the sun stick out to me as being just a little too crisp compared to the rest of the rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those shadows from the sun stick out to me as being just a little too crisp compared to the rest of the rendering. Yes! But not this week. Area shadows are so slow, along with its beautiful 'stochastic' rendering mode. Too slow for production. Ah, but now I have Maxwell, and....oh. It's slow, too. Nice shadows, though. Besides, I have always used sharp shadows or sunlight, because that was just what you do. And I think in reality that shadow would still be fairly crisp.

STRAT Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 yup, nice solution Ernest, thanks for the shaders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
