Description
Something quick with an incredibly uncreative title. I m always trying out new things. The newest thing I put a hand on is photobashing. I had my doubts, but it s surprisingly fun. I didn t go for full-on realism, because I really like the "handmade look" of a picture. Whatever, first time basher, I tried my best and I guess I did well on this kinda fantasy-ish mountain-scenery.Now the big question: In what subcategory do you sort in this kind of work XD ?

Thanks! I needed some distraction after weeks of pushing polygons around!

at least you earned relief!

Oh yeah! Well-deserved I would say! - And now it s back to studying for an exam!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. We have a bunch of small exams spread around the semester.
π: 0 β©: 1
forgive me, but your constant studying might hint differently regarding their size and importance!
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, mostly because I want to score well. But this one isn t that important. I just need to pass.

I'm quite certain you will shine yet again!

Yeah, the last test I didn t care about gave me 96%. That s quite good.
π: 0 β©: 1
indeed! our students try their hardest, and fail to get such grades!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, this time I also failed: 75%. But okay, I needed 70 to pass, so I m cool with the result. That test was a pain. So many questions I didn t prepare for and had to answer with pure logic.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm shocked! why weren't you prepared?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, most of the questions were quite strange. It was like: " What s the distance from earth to sun in meters?" - A really hard question? Yes. Do you need this information for your usual everyday work-life? I highly doubt it. So all in all: Lots of "I don t know for sure, I never use this feature, but let me google that for you"-type of questions. With other words: Nasty shit! - I m still one of the people with the best score. Honestly, that test was a disaster.

as I've said before, humans are losing their minds, students, teachers, soldiers, governors, doctors, and others alike! why was a question related to astronomy asked from animation students?! and why did the designer expect an answer?!
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh no, this wasn t a question! - But it was that type of question! Hard, unpredictable and you have no chance in answering it correctly if you haven t studied for that exact question. - I just named this as an example because I donΒ trecall the actual questions.
π: 0 β©: 1
oh, I have to admit I suspected that! I think I understand what the questions were like.
π: 0 β©: 1
Unpleasant. But well, I needed 70% to pass, I got 75, so everything s okay. The only thing this mark hurt is my ,admittedly , inflated ego.
π: 0 β©: 1
do not hang your ego by a thread. it was only one single test, and it was just as difficult for the rest of the class.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, but well: I m a perfectionist. But it s okay now.
π: 0 β©: 1
as I say to many of my classmates, you passed, what's there to complain about?
π: 0 β©: 1
Right! And I just scored 100% on my PS-exam, so everything s fine now!
π: 0 β©: 1
congratulations then. although to be honest I expected no less.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, my entire class expected this result. They said "If I can t do it, no one will!"
π: 0 β©: 1
they see you as the ultimate Photoshop queen eh?!
π: 0 β©: 1
Pretty much, yeah! Most people come to me when they need some guidance in that program!
π: 0 β©: 1
do you help them in a manner that they do not learn enough to become fully independent?!
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, in most cases, they have a question, or a problem. I always try to fix the problem and explain them, what I did to fix it. I usually try to be helpful.
π: 0 β©: 1
you do it the humane way, a way I did not see much before graduation.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, mostly because my ego likes it a lot. There is no better feeling than getting recognized and marveled at what you can do. And that adoration goes as far as people coming to you for help instead of asking a supervisor. It s one kick-ass feeling I tell you!
π: 0 β©: 1
I know the feeling, I used to be the top student when it came to English after all!

well now , Eli's uploaded something ( finally !!! ) , and it looks super dooper cool !!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks a lot! - I wanted to make the background for Alduin in the same style btw!
π: 0 β©: 1
woah ...... neat !!! to tell the truth though , i'd nearly forgotten about that !!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I m not getting that much forward with that. I m not sure if I can get the rig to work and that s the main-problem right now.
π: 0 β©: 1
hmmmmmm ........ can you use the model " as is " ? without changing the pose ?
π: 0 β©: 1
I could I guess. Could you maybe render it for me? I think you know more about rendering than me for now.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeeeeeeeah sure i do !!! my rendering sucks , as you've noticed so far !!!
i'll try to render it anyway , as soon as i can find it .
π: 0 β©: 1
Hey, I can try as well and we can compare the outcome XD !
π: 0 β©: 1
looks like the only choice !!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yeah! Render-challenge! Let me just download Mentalray ad Vray pretty fast! - Or you got another good render-choice at hand?
π: 0 β©: 1
hmmmmm ....... my knowledge is limited to the two !!! and my practical knowledge to mentalray !!! sadly , my computer can't take much of it ( the more you stay in mentalray mode , the more your computer lags )
π: 0 β©: 1
Mental or Vray it is then! Let me check if I can grab Vray for free (student after all).
π: 0 β©: 1
ok then !!! as far as i'm concerned , Vray's a lot simpler to work with than mentalray ( we joked about it back when it was my job , we said there's a reason it's called " mental " ray !!! )
π: 0 β©: 1
We had a long render-workshop last thursday. That dude said, Vray is better. But all in all: It s always the same procedure anyway.
π: 0 β©: 1
well , he's the expert !!! mentalray has an awful lot of options , some of which are really unnecessary . i guess Vray fixed that one !!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I ve seen that. We tried to create and render some basic materials in both, Mental and V. Both came to the same result, but the ways were a bit different.
π: 0 β©: 1
i remember in mentalray , there was a feature i really liked , i'm not sure if Vray has it or not . you could set a " clock " for the render , and the lighting was automatically set for that particular clock . for example , if my scene was to be rendered at 9 pm , the lighting effect made it look like the picture was taken at 9 pm .
π: 0 β©: 1
Now that s cool! We didn t have such in-detail lectures yet, but that s an awesome feature!
π: 0 β©: 1
it sure is !!! what hour should Alduin be in ?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hm, personally I like dawn or evening-sceneries.
