here is a room i modeled and rendered. i thought it would be nice to pick white and red as the overall theme as its something different and i actually like how it looks together. created and rendered in cinema 4d v11. the room design is based loosely on a concept sketch i saw about 5 yrs ago, i liked certain elements of the construction (from what i can remember)]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:50:59 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/663325

i had this idea in my head while modeling the latest toy truck. it was created in cinema 4d v11, bodypaint and AR3 ]]> Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:27:31 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/653561

i decided to test some bottles and liquid in fryrender
i used cinema 4d for modeling etc and fryrender for the render and materials ]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 06:44:03 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/647585

i decided to do some sss studies using fryrender. i used cinema 4d to model and set the scenes up and then fryrender to render. im happy with the look i got. i find it very refreshing doing simple arty(ish) pictures as they flush out all the rubbish in my head from doing detailed models and scenes. so anyway these are the images i created.]]> Sat, 28 Jun 2008 07:09:34 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/647582

I have always had this image in my head and while doing some SSS tests i decided it was about time i knocked it up. its a really simple scene (wasnt supposed to be high detailed etc) i used cinema 4d and fryrender. its a little bit of the outside, inside. its not a serious technically correct image ( ie scales of things in relation to other things ) its just a thought i had. ]]> Sat, 28 Jun 2008 06:51:43 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/628779

i have just moved house and had this idea for an E-card to send to clients, etc informing them of the new postal address.
i used cinema 4d and fryrender to render it.
the grass is alpha mapped onto loads of planes. the house i made a while back but thought it would be an interesting subject to use for the concept.]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 19:19:53 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/593574

i had this idea to make a nice quiet relaxing room and this is the outcome. modeled in cinema 4d and rendered with fryrender
i decided to do different lighting setups as i went along. not sure which one i like the most. its not a complicated scene as i wanted the relaxing feel to come out.]]> Sat, 09 Feb 2008 04:29:56 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/567810

while doing a small challenge on another forum, where we had to paint forum members i ran out of users to paint and decided to paint my daughter ( about time i did it anyway). so here she is.
i used a photo for reference only and photoshop and my trusty wacom. the whole thing took a few hours on and off. the tools i used was the standard brush, dodge, burn and my faithful smudge tool. the hair was extremely painful to do ]]> Sat, 01 Dec 2007 09:37:34 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/565757

well its that time of year again and another xmas e-card finished.
i make a e-card every year to send out to clients. i decided to model some fairy lights this year and the usual xmas decorations. i used cinema 4d and fryrender to render them. using fryrender allowed me to get a more realistic lighting to the scene. i used a mix of layers for the decorations this let me have a reflective metal look along with a matte finish to the xmas ball. well thats about it apart from an early HAPPY XMAS ALL CGTALKERS ]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:36:16 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/558901

here is an old model that i have had to tweak so i thought i would rerender it with the fryrender plugin. the model was made in cinema 4d. the scale of the model looks small in this set up as ive used my normal softbox set up, which includes self illuminated planes with a radial gradient map on, this i feel produces a nice light setup. the idea for the bot is to aid in construction i imagine it to be a 1.5 times bigger than a bobcat so not a massive bot but more like one that would help instead of a fork lift truck.]]> Wed, 07 Nov 2007 18:17:54 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/552311

this is an old model i made some years back. it was made in 3ds max back then and then finished in cinema 4d. i painted the textures in photoshop. i decided to make it looks like a small model. i rendered it in fryrender. i used my softbox method for the lighting, ie. two planes with a radial gradient to simulate a soft box side, this was used by fryrender as the emitter. i used two. i also used a large curved back drop for the floor and background.]]> Sat, 20 Oct 2007 06:35:36 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/540853

i decided to rerender my desk scene giving it an unbiased work out. i have used fryrenders physical sky and sun and then there are additional lights as the screens and LEDs. The modeling is polymodeling and other forms. i have tried to capture the look of my workspace and this means the life that is the clutter. we all have clutter on our desks.

more of a scifi scene for the AntBot. i created the flowers etc using polymodeling and swept nurbs.
i wanted the hi tech flowers and cables ( grass) to reflect a hi tech landscape for the AntBot. i also decided to go for a more dramatic type lighting using light planes with a gradient map on them as emitters.
i used cinema 4d and fryrender to render it.]]> Tue, 31 Jul 2007 10:37:09 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/523415

AntBot stage 2.

decided to finish this antbot that i started a few years ago. this scene was spawned from my nano dustmite image i entered into the machine flesh contest.
all created in cinema 4d using polymodeling. then i set the scene to use in fryrender. while using fryrender i also added the lights to layers so i could use the layerblending feature. this allowed me to change the lights after rendering was completed.]]> Wed, 25 Jul 2007 10:30:07 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/505513

i decided to actually use zbrush for once being how they where kind to upgrade us for free
i started with a zb cube and then worked on the details. once happy i modeled the hook, bracket and stand in cinema 4d and imported them and used them as subtools. i decided to leave it as the default wax which i kinda like. i dont think i shall texture it as it was mearly a modeling project.]]> Sun, 10 Jun 2007 10:26:58 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/496115

this is based on a ref image i have had for a while. created in cinema 4d and rendered using the fryrender plugin.
i decided to use card people as i do feel photo people stand out a little in arch renders and its a llittle different
also i really like the moire effect in the wooden slats.]]> Mon, 14 May 2007 16:15:02 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/495844

i decided to rerender my nokia N series model. it was created in cinema 4d and rendered using the fryrender plugin. i made a softbox light studio set up as this is something that is used in real photography. its a simple set up and is made up of 2 sides and a roof that are mapped with a circular gradient these are then used as emitters/ lights. i then used a really low hdri map for the outside so that any part seen beyond the camera wouldnt result in black void reflections.
all in all im really happy with the result i got from the setup.]]> Sun, 13 May 2007 19:29:45 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/490067

this is an image i did in between jobs.
its roughly based of a ref photo i found a while ago.
i created the scene in cinema 4d using normal poly modeling,etc and then i unwrapped and painted the textures of the buildings etc in bodypaint. i also added a slight natural unstraightness to the path to try to make it appear more natural. i then exported the wood work and foor into the ivy generator, found here : http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/~luft/ivy_generator/
and made the ivy. then i used the fryrender plugin to render it.
i wanted to make the whole image a little moody so i placed the sun on the other side of the building to give some nice shade to the whole image.]]> Thu, 26 Apr 2007 18:35:52 +0000 http://davedavidson.cgsociety.org/gallery/481453

i created this scene a while ago and thought since i downloaded the ivy generator i would see how it looked.
i wanted to create an old moody scene, which i think i did even with the noise as it is ( which i personaly like)
the only thing im not to sure about is the thickenss of the ivy stems on the right column but i shall fix this next project.

someone asked for a flash light version of the train scene and here it is.
one small 6 sided sphere as the light emitter, positioned above the camera. i then played with the iso and shutter speed once it was rendering to get the light the amount i wanted. 3hr render at 2000x1500
