Description
Alexander is ready to cast his first magic spell (on you!).
Thank you all for your great feedback and suggestions.
This helped a lot getting Alexander this realistic!
Rendered in Maxon Cinema4D R11.5 using GI and a very complex light- and reflection-system of my own. Alexander is M4 based with mayor improvements on the textures.
I am using my own skin shader and my own shader extensions for the eyes. The mesh is hypersmoothed and optimized. The curtain is modeled using hypernurbs to.
The spell is created using light sources combined with fractal shaders... My first own magic spell!
I hope you all like him. His evolution can be seen here:
If you would like to peep the 3d mesh under Alexanders skin, you can do that here:
Thanks again for your great support!

The "Black Speeck of Mordor" is still one of the most beautiful type faces.... Alexander was never there I suppose...

Poser is a great start to render humans.
And DAZStudio is able to render great results...
Try that...

Sorry for cropping so high...

Don't you just love C4D? Awesome detail. I wonder how long it took you to put that model together.

Sorry.
So weit reichen meine magischen FΓ€higkeiten doch nicht. Ich kann weder elbisch noch die "Schwarze Sprache von Mordor"....

ok, sehr beruhigend, ich hab versucht, das zu lesen, und es kommt nur blΓΆdsinn raus^^ aber du hast ja glaub ich auch zeichen dazuerfunden, oder?

mike-reiss In reply to RainFreckles [2009-12-22 23:28:49 +0000 UTC]
WOW, man kann das lesen.
Ich habe eine Schriftart von einem Freund bekommen und Zeichen in InDesign eingebaut die nett aussehen. Ich kann weder elbisch noch die "Dunke Sprache von Mordor". Aber beruhigend dass Du es kannst... Schick mir doch mal einen Text, dann baue ich in die nΓ€chsten magischen Render einen richtigen elbischen Zauberspruch ein...

RainFreckles In reply to mike-reiss [2009-12-23 09:33:23 +0000 UTC]
elbisch kann ich leider auch nicht, ich kΓΆnnte hΓΆchstens deutsch oder englisch transkribieren (aber deutsch geht besser^^). wenn du mir sagst was du geschrieben haben willst...

mike-reiss In reply to RainFreckles [2009-12-23 14:31:50 +0000 UTC]
Klingt interessant. Da komme ich gerne drauf zurΓΌck...
Um was fΓΌr eine Schrift handelt es sich denn bitte, die ich benutz habe.
Ist das die "Dark Speech of Mordor" ?
π: 0 β©: 1
RainFreckles In reply to mike-reiss [2009-12-23 15:00:12 +0000 UTC]
nicht sprache und schrift durcheinander bringen... die schrift heiΓt "tengwar" was die mehrzahl des elbischen wortes "tengwa" ist, was soviel wie buchstabe bedeutet. es gibt dann noch sarati, sozusagen die vorgΓ€nger der tengwar, die aber extrem unΓΌblich sind, und runen. die schrift wurde entwickelt um quenya (Γ€ltere elbensprache) zu schreiben, und ist dann fΓΌr sindarin (neuere elbensprache) adaptiert worden. man kann aber alles mΓΆgliche damit schreiben, schwarze sprache, englisch, deutsch...

oh wow. thanks for sharing that. it's pretty cool to see the progression. really nice work! are you going to continue working on 'him' further at all or do you feel he's all done now?

mike-reiss In reply to studpup [2009-12-23 23:25:16 +0000 UTC]
This is not the final state!
Alexander magic spell is just a state! There will be a more complex scene with a more complex background and more of Alexander with magic clothes and stuff...
I will work further on him... Watch my profile!
Have yourself a very special christmas!
