Description
A man-made Solar System, fully functional or just a hologram? - it's up to the viewer
. Though it was created with the theme "Genisis" in mind, like a new artificial dawn in my interpretation since that's the theme of The Luminarium 's 8th art exhibit, of which I also had othe rideas for too - but I only had time to make this one among other things I'm working on.This evolved significantly and is evidence on how gaining outside opinions really can improve an artwork. But the biggest help came from *SomniCelestia who suggested this steep and dynamic perspective...beforehand, my theme was still in the right place but the angle was straight-on and pretty boring. I think I need not only think outside the box when it comes to concept, but perspective too. I'll just have to see
All models made by me in Cinema 4D, imported to Vue where they were textured, lighted and rendered (blurred reflections made the base render take friggi'n 26 hours to render
) and a lot of digital painting over it afterwards as it looked far too much like a room in a game beforehand 
P.S - in the off chance someone buys a print, it can potentially be hung upside-down too for a different perspective of the same scene

you followed the perspective advice - it became a job well done 
I like that bit in your comments when u said it can be hung upside down too LOL 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, indeed - my original perspective was straight on with the "sun" and was rather plain
Though I could flip it in Photoshop myself, after I uploaded it I just tilted my head too just to be sure

Great idea, nice colours, great perspective and great execution! Well done!
The only thing I'd change would be the paths of the planets. Make them vary on the z-axis as well.
Great job though!

Thanks! as for the planet paths, that odd-looking one was rotated about 30 degrees in the 3D scene to make it on a steep angle compared to the rest, but it kinda came out flat - which is odd for 3D art

Awesome. Purple/pink and Orange/yellow. My favorite colorcompination^^

I agree that it's a great colour combination and have used it myself in the past too, and undoubtly again in future deviations too
Thanks for faving too

Thats really awesome! Different from what you usually do, but still very nicely done.

Yeah, sci-fi machinery normally isn't my strong point, even coming up with this was pshing my creativity to the limit and some parts frustrating

I can imagine.. Its nice to challenge yourself once in awhile, though, and you definitely overcame this challenge.

Where are Mars, Saturn, and Uranus?
Why is Pluto occupying the same orbital path as Neptune (resulting in the outermost path being empty)?
Do these discrepancies really detract from the piece itself? I do not believe so; this work is excellent. I am sure there were practical reasons as to why some of the planets were omitted. Although, I must admit I still slightly cringe upon noticing two of the planets in the same orbit.
As previously mentioned, this work is still great and the little problems I have with it are merely the musings of a perfectionist.

Lol, no need to worry - this one isn't based off our own Solar System, otherwise it would be too crowded and the planets too far apart (and extreme in size-difference) for this limited space 
Ahh crap, I must have accidently put the outer planet on the wrong path

Oh it's incredible! You would love it!!
Here's a main website [link]
and here's a quick video called Future Retro [link] But my very favorite is the Dream Pipes [link] and there are many more ^^

Oh yeah! now that you mention it I remember being showed one of those ages ago, I think before I even started 3D actually

they are perfectly executed, its sooo amazing watching them, and just thinking of how much time thought and work that is put into them.

Your ideas and style blow me away each time i view your work, You are very talented and good and i look foreard to seeing more from you. Big inspiration you are mate

Glad you like it

very cool image!
yes, the dramatic perspective adds a lot to the piece. ah, that's one of the beautiful things about working in 3d - just change the camera for a whole different look!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! and yes - that's probably one of the main reasons I still do a lot in 3D, it's just a matter of changing the camera location for a new look, and I tend to move the camera around dozens of times during the process too and if often ends up a different angle than I originally imagined due to lucky-found "accidents"

there is so much details! you are very talented, bravo!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dude... That's insanely good!! Great details, perspective, colors, and lighting! I love the little asteroids floating and catching the light of the miniature sun! The machinery looks well crafted and real, also. And I think it's great that I can see all of the planets clearly, even though they're small. *sigh* Pluto's not considered a planet, anymore.

Thanks a lot, glad to hear all those things worked out visually
Thanks for faving too

cool concept love the colours The thing i like the most is the asteroid belt!! how did you do that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! the asteroid belt made clever use of Vue's ecosystem feature. I first made a disk witha hole in the middle in Cinema 4D (that only takes a few seconds) imported it to Vue with all the other machinery and gave the disc an invisible material and populated it with heaps of rocks in a flash...so essentially they are sitting on an invisible disc

AWESOME!!! Where did you get the idea for this? Looks like something from Final Fantasy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, I've been wanting to make this for so long that I forget where I got the idea from, if it wern't for the theme of the art exhibition that forced it out of me, I probably would have held it for even longer

Wow, this is amazing... never knew you could do this type of background wow!! You really should do a tutorial about it *o*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't know I could either. Sci-fi machines and interiors normally aren't my thing, so doing them bother together was hard. A tutorial however would only be good for those few people that have, and use all three programs I used to make this though...was kinda tricky

Oh then, ok
But it turned out great, congrats

You amazing person. How dare you be so awesome?!
Anyways, l can only imagine what it took to make this piece! Five stars, amigo.

I have every right to be this awesome after dedicating my life to it lol

. . . WOW. I saw this at the Luminarum, but didn't notice who's name was on it.
Excellent job, this is your second piece to go on my wish list(the other is Genius of the Lamp).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool, I'm assuming you watch one of the other artists that linked to it too
Oh cool, I don't know of many who have that Genius of the lamp in their wishlist, glad you liked that one too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh, good idea.
Yes, Genius was definitely one that caught me eye and held my attention.
