Daniel's Art thread

Hey guys,
so I am sorry I am been bad about posting lately but that is over now.


To kick it off thought I thought I would post up a little logo I did for client. Actually its an art test.

here is where I started they had the logo already done and asked me to replicate maybe improve

original:






and here is my straight max render:





and after some color correction and ps work I ended with this

and after that I took a break cam back to it, wasn't completely satisfied with it
cam back fixed a few geo problems and soften up a few edges.

straight max render




then did some ps work, added some light rays and came up with this that I am now much more happy with.




feel free to make any comments, always interested in improving my concepts.

here are some other recent works:

i really like the work on the last one , the harbor, however two things:
depth of field in a large scale environment tends to make it look like a closeup on a maquette. i would avoid that.
and the waves are too large. if you fix those two and some overexposure on the pavements and such, its gonna be photoreal.

Danielmn

thanks aga22 for the notest

here is a tacticle pen that I found on a really cool site and I felt like I had to model it.

Danielmn

also I finally got soft light card sources to work in 3d max mental ray and I miss using these things, still not nice as the ones in vray but these come pretty close.

The teapot is something I have been working on and always go back to.

hey guys ok just got out of a big project and I am missing to something really detailed.
So I found some pieces I am interested and thought I would put see what you guys thought.

It will be a hi poly that I bring to Lo poly and then texture off

Probably will do a combination table and clock maybe even a wall piece.

But my goal is to crank out the pieces hi poly in two days. At least do as much as I can.

So let me know what you guys think.



























so I am thinking defiantly do the clock cause I found tons of reference for that and the rest
I may ony have lik 1 photo for but, that not too worry some as they are very hi res photos and one corner can be copied 3 times around the object.

ps the baroque environment of the clock and environment kinda lit a fire under me and I am going with it. So thanks for kick in the pants I needed to keep at it.

hey guys
sorry been really busy lately had a some quick turn around projects come in.

But here is another,
basically got to build as much of this site as I can in the next day or so, might get some time in few days to touch things up.




obviously a whole bunch of stuff to model I have some footprint to these bldgs but not much and with a fast as I got to do this I wont have a lot time to check a bunch of references.

This and the aerial from google and a few shapes of the footprints is what I got.


after getting my camera to match cause that want a very similiar view this is what I have after and hr or so of modeling.

Keep you guys up to date.
