Work In Progress :: Mediterranean Stairs

[Newest updates and pictures on top of page, I'm not that concerned with making thumbnails for WIP pages -- expect filesize to be fairly big]
[06 06 2001] - The latest render of this scene, almost final now but still a few textures that need to be added. The railing and the wall on the left still needs to be touched up.

After this scene is all complete, Ill probably put together a little related tutorial [grass ;P] since I've gotten alot of questions about that.

[05 09 2001] - Started this little thing a few days ago. Its mainly a texturing exercise for me, but is also based on all the time I've spent in the lovely Mediterranean countries. Im trying to recapture the feeling of a little town somewhere by the sea at sunset. Imagine that nice summer evening when the quicksilver is climbing upwards the 40C's, you sit at a bar, in the shadow mouthing a beer slowly. You see a meager little cat walking by, but you have no sense of knowing if its a homeless one or a fine breed out on a nice walk by itself...

Because its another texturing exercise for me, its one of those scenes which doesnt rely that much on modeling even to the point that its really really simple ;P As a contrast to the "Still Life : Translucent" image this one is based upon images that the textures are made out of.

There is still a few things in this images that aren't textured yet. Those are:
-The railing on the stairs.
-The stairs, (tiles and cement).
-The "back wall" in the small area between the stairs and the next house.
-The tiles on the cement part of the railing
-The flower pots.
-The dirt in the flower pot.

Juan Carlos Flores : N/A ::: Pienso que las imegenes son mas que exelentes y los detalles que tiene como las superficies sucias le dan un relismo impresionante. -- ojala y pudieran incluir algun Tutorial en esta pagina. -- gracias.

David : http://www.blink-studios.com ::: -- Eek! It's so good it burned my eyes! Arrrrghhhh!!!! Learn from meeeee.... learn from meeeeee.... --
Mat' : N/A ::: looks amazingly real! The only way to know that it's a 3D picture and not an actual photo is to look at the bottom of the metalic bar on the stairs wall. Really impressive!
Carlos : www.mamut.com/carloscorrea ::: Excellent!!!
PERa : N/A ::: OOOOOH.......dame that is great.....voi jos joskus osaisi tehdä moisia!!!
Ubby : N/A ::: That looks Mediterranean light at 8.00 AM. I can tell you because I see it every day.
Mike : N/A ::: Love it! :)
Anupam Austin Das : N/A ::: Very nice lighting work. I love the fill lighting behind the stairs. The wood plank needs a bit of work in that the edges need to be rougher to give it a sence of "woodeyness". Thats allways the trick.. it's in the edges. Good luck! --
MK : http://www.syntetics.ch ::: I like it very much... but...hehehe... well, the plant looks a bit... plastic. The wood planks look like boxes with textures on it... overall it could need a little bit more life in it... Cracks and so on... -- Well.... i like it :) -- -- MK
JoeP : N/A ::: Hey man, GREAT work. What program are you using to render this?
chris : N/A ::: the image looks excellent and i'm trying to do something like it. Just a suggestion, add a cockroach half under the plank, i tried it and it looks great.
Jason : N/A ::: How did you do the grass in the cracks?
Balaji.S & A the K : N/A ::: Excellent imaGE! It was very much inspiring.
MrBassMan : N/A ::: Great rendering, just wondering, did you use the silicon thing on max to make the grass or something else?
RipTech : N/A ::: Excellent!! (just had to get in the 'recieved feedback') :D -- But very good work, man. -- *RipTech gives DF a pat on the back*
Gerbil : N/A ::: ceramic tiles(red one) needs dirtying...it betrays an otherwise perfect render.... -- v good plants :)
George : N/A ::: I think it's looking very good! obvously the tile needs more dirt, cracks, and texture but i relly like the way that you made the thicknes of the tile varry.
okkie : N/A ::: Very nice image, I also saw it at blurbeta. It inspired me to try and make a similar image, which will be quite a challenge because I only use max for 2 months. -- -- It's image like these that keep me going at max!!
