hi Guys
here is some of what i was working on last year, it has been very long time since i posted something so i thought it's time to share with you some
hope you like them
Software used
3DS MAX,VRAY,After Effects
Wow, really love the stylistic rendering. Be bright back, gotta work on my portfolio, this is so inspiring. Fantastic work man, cant say enough good things.
Do you mind sharing some of your lighting / hdri workflows or just showing some HDRIs ?
Some small things, many of the backgrounds have very strong 8 bit compression gradients, and the CLK? ground has very obvious tiling
The only thing is that your website doesn't do it justice at all. The frontpage
has buggy alignment, the buttons look very dated, and none of the 2D elements are
consistent to each other. Then things like twitter icon with white JPG border etc.
Your video reels do not have sound and no intro and outro, and the play button looks like from 1995. If you spend some of that passion into your website, you could make a really professional appearance on the web.
Thanks a lot guys i'm very glad you liked my works
Shrike thanks a lot man for taking time and giving me this feedback and you are 100% right i fixed this things on the website and replaced the players button , for the sound most of the videos reel are just 10 seconds so i was waiting to merge them together and add another show reel for this year , hope i can do this asap
sure man i will add today or tomorrow a couple of screenshots to show how my lights are placed ,i don't use HDR ,just normal vray lights with gradient maps
OHHHHHHHHH DAAAAAMNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously this thread makes me giddy inside! Amazing!! I was going to model the aston, haha. This does it enough justice.
If you are looking for some feedback on your portfolio, I would say that you should really simplify the navigation and usability. Your site is really slow and clunky because of flash, and on top of that there is no way for people to right click save your images. I would also add that every image on your portfolio should have your name and website url on it.
As for the work, it is really well done, and really well executed. I would love to see some wire frame shots. One small nitpick, if I am being hyper critical, is that your iron man suit is not up to the level of quality as your other work.
Agreed with above. In fact, I closed your portfolio link, because it became pretty frustrating to navigate with the banner scrolling over images. I'm not sure if you attempted to fix that, but it's still doing it.
Also, the splash page is a bit of a downer, because your work is so amazing, yet the homepage doesn't capture that magic instantly.
Your logo and "Portfolio" button seem like they belong in a "Free template for download" kind of site. The colors don't help either, as its not carried in the rest of your portfolio's site.
Hopefully this makes some kind of sense (I don't mean to be rude with the critique). Anyways, again, your work is inspirational! Can't wait to see more.
thanks again guys for your advice and you are right about that things in the website
the speed is not fast as it should be i think that's because of the bandwidth so i will have to upgrade it this should improve the browsing , the flash are really very simple it shoudn't be that heavy
for saving the images ,this is one thing i totally forgot trademark, colors and logo i'm currently working on this things , i just came from my vacation so i'm ready to play with them hope i can finish them this weekend
ok guys here is another one hope you like it , there is also some new stuff on the website check it out , the site should be now much much faster cause i have upgraded the Bandwidth

ok here is a screen shot show's how the vray Lights are placed + the settings for the lights and the maps i used as a Light Texture
Inside each gradient map another gradient map with the same settings just to give the light a little of contrast
