Description Happy Valentine's day!

I really had a hard time choosing which angle was better, but here is the original angle www.cosmicdeathray.com/originfx/custom/ap2.jpg . Use whichever you like the most.

This is a 3D version of 's image "Almost Perfect", which you can find at this [link] . Check out her website at www.agilerobot.com Of course, all creative credits go to her!

I haven't been able to make many renders lately because I've been so busy, but I couldn't let this holiday pass me by . I promise I'll not be busy in a couple weeks, I'll be cranking out renders like I used to once my website is up!

Technical Details

Made in Maya, rendered in Mental Ray. Maya ramp shader used on the heart, as well as on the paint brush. Ambient occlusion used on the brush handle and threads to bring out that detail in the tiny cracks and crevaces. Regular lambert shader used on the dude and the ground. Lit with one invisible and very large area light, and also with final gathering from the heart and dark red environment. Render time was about 2 hours.

Here is some shots from the viewport: www.cosmicdeathray.com/originfx/custom/apshot1.jpg www.cosmicdeathray.com/originfx/custom/apshot2.jpg www.cosmicdeathray.com/originfx/custom/apshot3.jpg

[[EDIT]] Losslessly compressed PNG version at this www.cosmicdeathray.com/originfx/custom/ap.png , and a version without the glow at this www.cosmicdeathray.com/originfx/custom/apng.jpg

Damn I love your work.
The glow looks really good as well. I'm a 3D Max user and to get that sort of glow you have to do it in Video Post, but I haven't used Mental Ray enough to know if I can get that sort of thing happening in it.
Great work.

Awesome rendering man. I am curious; how do you set up you're glows for mental ray? There are a couple of different ways to do it for the Maya renderer but I thought all of those weren't recognized by mental ray. I thought the only way you could get glows for mental ray in Maya was using Paint Effects?

Awesome work. Actually.. I was wondering whether I could use it on my desktop? It's just such a great image, and.. obviously when/if I submit a screencap to dA I will credit it to you. Up to you though, either way.. great work.

Thanks Alyn. I appreciate your input a lot, your space art is amazing.

By the way, I may have a job for you in a few months. I have an animation planned this year and there is a space shot with a lush rainforrest type covered planet in the background.

PrestonMeyers [2005-02-28 18:58:59 +0000 UTC]

awww, that's cute

i love the color scheme. maroon is usually left out around Valentine's - it's almost sad effective use of the light source and shadow, and i like how the body is whitish-gray so that it doesn't detract from the brightness of the pink-and-red heart. placing the reflection there was also a good touch. good work +

arphire [2005-02-24 12:33:16 +0000 UTC]

I like the texture on the figure (jut the way it reflects the light)
The glow just makes it work, I think. The render without it just looks a bit dead.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DivineError In reply to arphire [2005-02-24 21:12:01 +0000 UTC]

Thats why I wanted to show the one without the glow, to show what a difference it made. It just doesn't feel anytihng at all without the warmness of the glow.
