Hi guys,
I'm finally closing in to sending an image to a render farm that I've been going back and forth with the last year. The plan is to get a 300dpi 0,9x1,2m rendered out and print it on a canvas, or maybe an alu plate. Anyway, a buddy of mine asked for a version for his iPhone background, so I just thought I'd share it with you guys too.
A little background. The model is a front view of the Gokstad Viking Longship. It was was built around 890AD and was a a war and transport ship back then. It is now currently on display in a museum in Oslo. So I modeled up the ship in NX and started playing around with the front view (a shape I personally love), trying different colors on both the ship and the background (see all versions here (https://www.behance.net/gallery/65797749/The-Longboat-CGI)). I never really found exactly the look i wanted, but when I found Mitch Myers' VDB textures a couple of weeks ago, I settled on a look I'm very happy with, having the ship emerging from the fog.
Hope you like it! Cheers,
Looks great!
Very cool Magnus! I agree, it looks great coming out of the fog. I bet it would look great as a metal print!
Thanks guys!
Eric: I'm thinking the same. Ultimately I'm gonna leave the decision up to the recipient, but considering recommending alu : )
