lemog Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Now the Spanish one is finished and before that a little animation is actually rendering, let's me talk about the next pavilion, the German Pavilion situated just near the Spanish one along the river Seine... With its bold arrow, its pinions of color, its elegant belfry, its roofs and pinnacles with the glazed tiles and its polychrome decorations, the Pavilion of Germany has an original aspect, quite romantic. For the interior, marble staircases of Bavaria largely make accessible first stage, occupied by the collection of Frederic Le Grand (the decoration of the glasses and the ceiling is the work of the painter Gustave Wittig, of Berlin). In first, some photos references : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemog Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 First step of modeling for this German Pavilion... the beginning is always very disturbing, I hope that will be better in few days and more work... ...in any case, this one risk to give me much work, and of course, a result with much polygons...

Ernest Burden III Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 the Spanish Pavilion... With these renders you have managed to re-create the look of hand-colored photos from that era. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edub Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I swear you deserve some kinda award for this! I want to see History Channel or Discovery make a documentary using your models, and do a full-on animation with people walking around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemog Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 With these renders you have managed to re-create the look of hand-colored photos from that era. Nice work! Thanks a lot, that particulary touch me... in fact, I'm not sure at 100% about the mood, it's certainly near of what I need, but it's always very difficult to be really objective when you work too much on one project, but the hand-colored photos is one of my goals, then your comment seem good for me... thanks Ernest. The animation test rendering about the Sapnish Pavilion is now ready, I hope you like : DIVX - 360x240 - 4.5 mo I want to see History Channel or Discovery make a documentary using your models, and do a full-on animation with people walking around! I hope to be able to do further this project, and of course to see this animation in a documentary somewhere... but before, I must keep my head in the work... thanks man.

Wilko Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Thats amazing work. Must've taken a good while to render! I don't even think my machine would be fast enough to handle the 3D model with all that detail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemog Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 I don't even think my machine would be fast enough to handle the 3D model with all that detail! Thanks a lot man, but you know... my machine is only an old dual PIII-800... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Burden III Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I think the look you are rendering is great. But I was just looking at my old postcard collection (I have hundreds of early 20th century postcard) and I had a thought. If you really wanted to try the hand-colored effect, render to a grayscale image (black and white), then raise the brightness a bit with curves in Photoshop, then render a material's color pass (so you have a flat image with no shading) and add it as a layer set to multiply, play with opacity strength. You could even move the colors slightly out of register, but that might be too much like the old postcards. I can scan a few if you don't have any examples to use. While I don't have any postcards from that exhibit, I do have quite a few of Paris at a similar time in history. Can you remind me what part of the city was the setting for the Fair? I know Paris somewhat well, but remind me of what's nearby now so it will fit in my memories. I may have a postcard showing the area around the fair.

lemog Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Hi Ernest... yes, you're totally right about the effect... that make a little hand-colored, but not really as these photos was exactly. I've already do this kind of effects, various compositing between grayscale render and colorer layers, but not really good for my eyes. The best results have lack of life, especially for a movie. I will post soon some tests, I've already my setup test. But maybe the method I've used was not the better and of course, I will do more test. Me too, I have much old colorized postacard of this time and of course, I really like them, and I will be glad if I will be able to have a similar aspect for the project, but with a living mood. If you have a precise example, I'm okay you scan one of it, to see if you have the same idea than me about the goal to obtain. Finally, the main problem is to adapt this mood for an animation I mean.
