Some Particle testings i created with 3ds max Particle Flow and rendered with Krakatoa

here is the link to the animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c4WYzr30B0&hd=1]]> Mon, 17 Aug 2009 04:37:14 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/777434

was rather a particle-flow test but liked the shape at the end and did a rendering, so the modeling was done in less than an hour

had to compress it realy to fit the 500kb limit so here you have a 1600px height render: ]]> Sun, 21 Jun 2009 17:04:35 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/753691

an abstract image i made starting with a base shape from realflow, which i then extended in 3ds max via pflow.
rendered in Vray and post produced in Photoshop

originally rendered in 2600x1474 resolution

you can see a closeup here:

another abstract work i made experimenting with liquid shapes, vray fur and some other techniques, i think you can learn a lot about light and colour by doing abstract works]]> Sun, 09 Nov 2008 13:20:09 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/726521

the fire is fumefx and pflow based, you can see it burning here: http://www.vimeo.com/3044217. I think the sword would have a better impact in the hands of a character cutting through the air with the fire swirling around.]]> Wed, 04 Feb 2009 12:29:06 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/732539

the model was created by christian westarp, a german designer.
I did the textures, shading, lighting and post in photoshop. I tried to make it photoreal with some dof, chromatic aberation and a greenish tint. What do you think about it ?]]> Fri, 20 Feb 2009 06:36:28 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/585916

i created this image for the amazing creations competition]]> Sat, 19 Jan 2008 12:40:49 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/661146

a short experimental work i made trying to combine a liquid shape with hairs and strong colours. I am not sure about the flare effect because it has a friendly colour compared to the bloody red, however i liked it better that way

i tried to create a futuristic armchair ]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:06:40 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/716873

and underwater scene i made, rendered in 4200 pixel height

the basic shape is a fluid dynamic simulation, the tentacles are particle flow based, the corals are made by some max modificators or procedural maps in combination with displacement
so everything would be easy to animate, which i realy would like to do if i had more computer power

i made this for a gnomonworkshop contest, experimenting with light and displacement maps
done in max, postwork in photshop]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:10:39 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/585909

i made this advertisment for a project in school i designed the phone and modeled it in 3d max, rendered with vray and composed in photoshop, originally created for DIN A4 format 300dpi]]> Sat, 19 Jan 2008 12:22:06 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/617106

again a somewhat bigger work i made, i started with a simple matte painting and added deatails by importing parts of photos i think i used about 20 different free stock photos wich i found in the internet, i the end i had about 100 layers in photoshop although i already colapsed a lot during the construction process which were quite a lot for my old single core computer :(

i payed more attention to create a nice mood than trying to make it as photorealistic as possible, and i know that the composition is not the best with just one centered midground element which is also a bit too contrasty and colorful

it also was a hard decission weather to add such a strong lens flare, because it takes away some of the attraction of the island itself
however i made the image they way i imagined it from the beginning so i am quite satisfied, what do you guys think about it ?

this is a weapon designed for a contest on the gnomon workshop forum
to achieve the hard edges i needed at least 3 subdivisions for the most parts so i ended up with about 1,8 million faces
for the engery tanks i interesected light objects with refractive blurry objects

how do you like it ? ]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 11:13:10 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/648223

modeled in 3d max and rendered with vray i think they waterdrops which are spread over the entire glas do not look too good but i like the ice cubes i think the image is a little too dark but if i add a brighter background the shot loses its elegance]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:36:53 +0000 http://matthiasm.cgsociety.org/gallery/585912
