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

I only visit deviant occasionally, primarily in search of different ideas for my advertising campaigns. When I came across this image, I was consumed by the power of the concept. My campaign for this valentine's was a success! The caption was "Love is a deep shade of purple! (That was the color of the brand I was working for).... and it all came to me by seeing your character painting a heart with colors other than red!
I just wanted to credit you for the inspiration I got from your work!...
Thanks!!

I like the simplicity of the shapes used in this. It takes out everything except what you meant to convey--a guy painting a heart.
I also like how this isn't some "sickly sweet" Valentine image, but something that'd work for any time of the year, because you've simplified it down that far in terms of what we're looking at here.
But it's also anything BUT boring, which is another reason why I like it. I'd have to say your use of shadows and lighting here is a big reason why I think that is.
Nice work.

That's exactly what I was going for! You'll notice I put it in the 3D wallpaper section, not a holiday section
I'm very happy you like it. I hope my next images are as pleasing to you as this one

holy crap...your lighting style is at its best here! like i say all the time, this tops every one of your previous works
phenomenal stuff!!

I'm starting to try scenes with more diffuse objects in them now, to practice this type of lighting. Lighting glass is easy now, so I gotta move on to something else, hehe. Plus in Maya 6.5, final gathering can do more than one bounce... look at my lollipop image, notice the sticks are overly dark on the undersides, multiple bouncing would prevent that, without the need for using lights or photons. In other words I can use my old lighting style on diffuse objects soon, and combine lots of glass objects with lots of diffuse objects in a scene. Weeee can't wait to get 6.5!

Amazing, I want to do something like this for my girl. I just need to figure out how to make the heart shape...

Surprisingly the heart was the hardest part of this whole thing! Took me a good 4 hours to get it the way I wanted it. The dude only took about an hour.
