Steampunk Faith

jonfer · October 14, 2011, 08:44:01 AM

Hi,This is my latest work and it's called "Steampunk Faith". The idea of this project was to take all the objects from a Steampunk book and turn them into 3D! All the objects were made by scrap in real life and I wanted to keep the same designs from the book. I had a lot of trouble trying to render it in max and vray...So I rendered it in Keyshot with normal quality because my computer wouldn't let me use any higher settings(I'm happy with the result though =D). I did the background in Photoshop and this is like a steampunk stuff hanging around in some paradise. I hope you guys like it, it has been 10 months since I started with 3D and stuff. Thanks!

Great job!!!! The image looks like it should be on the cover of an album. That was definitely an ambitious project.

My only comment would be to experiment with how the tires make contact with the road- maybe a little more shadow or bulge where the contact happens? Something to convey the weight of the truck.

your image makes me smile.

So here are some of the Unsmoothed wires and smoothed beauty ones! I also wanna show you guys the render without any post-production.

Way cool. I wish I could model like you.

jonfer - Outstanding work. I can really appreciate the insane amount of detail after looking at your hi-rez link. Don't know what your post process is, but it has a nice illustration quality. And your background makes it come alive.

I think I might like the wireframe snapshots almost as much as the render...

jonfer · October 14, 2011, 04:39:43 PM

hey Ed thank you very much man!! The post process was basically to give it some "life". I was trying to do this in max and vray...but my computer was crashing all the time when I opened the file cause its too heavy for max and my computer is not that good... So I figured out that I could do this in keyshot! I tried to render it in good quality but again the same problem...then a put it in normal quality and it took about 24 hs or even more to render it...after that I started to work on lights and stuff to break up the "studio looking" the textures are pretty much high rez scratches,stains, clouds textures that I played in photoshop with blend modes...I used some smoke brushes and also put some filters to make this fantasy looking. I hope this can be helpful =D! Thanks again Imz!=D and thanks Francois!! Glad you like it man.

Man, this is one of those images you can just back and enjoy! Nothing to nit-pick, just pure enjoyment. Thanks! Sure would not want to try this in SolidWorks!
