I Live in a Box



Final release

--- --- --- ---



This is a very exact 3d model of my bedroom. It's inside a cardboard box, as this is often how I feel when in here working for hours as a time. This has probably been one of my biggest 3d projects to date. It took 4 or 5 days to get this far, and probably about 50 hours of rendering. Previous betas and such can be found in my gallery. I'm very proud of this piece and would appreciate comments and feedback more than you can imagine.

--- --- --- ---



Model produced in 3d Studio Max 4. Rendered with Brazil. 109,000 polys. 192 polys per thumbtack. Each render took between 6 and 8 hours.



Edit: Moved out of Unsorted section, not too sure about new location, doesn't seem to fit perfectly anywhere.

Man, you're living small

It looks absolutely wonderful. I love how much detail you put into it. I would like it even better if the objects had their own color or shade, but let's not nitpick about that. It's still a wonderful job.

I remembered seeing this some time back, but forgot who made it. Now I found it again. I'm wicked tired so I'll get to the point; this is insane. I love it. Goodnight.

why is it so dark inside the box ?

dhillaz In reply to paul-corel [2004-12-22 11:54:58 +0000 UTC]

Seems fine to me, it might be a TFT and CRT problem, it won't look as impressive and bright on a CRT, especially an old one. However, it should look fine to me and sbv20 (presuming he has a TFT screen).

sbv20 In reply to paul-corel [2004-11-16 19:10:11 +0000 UTC]

is it? on my screen its light enough to get all the details. there is no lighting inside the box itself so it'll be darker than outside.

Excellent! veryyyy nice work, I like your style to render things, very easily, with global illumiation, bkue sky light, and that's it!
the simplest, the better

cheers

This is a +fav for certain. Cool idea, excellent execution. I love the rendering too.

Don't add colour, I think that would take away from this piece.

I wish I had thought of this first!

OlendelL In reply to sbv20 [2004-10-11 13:01:33 +0000 UTC]

Actually, I don't know with what I could use this idea, maybe it will stay forever in the state of some sentences in a scrapbook. I wanted to use the idea of "someone living in a box", with a bed, a computer, books, etc. Maybe to write a short story about it. Don't worry, it's just a project for myself, I don't want to use it for commercial ends. Just a dark and depressive essay..

illuxon In reply to ??? [2004-09-09 05:53:01 +0000 UTC]

great work man. just wondering why it took u so long to render each image. the number of poly's arent that high and GI too shudnt have practically taken this long

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

sbv20 In reply to illuxon [2004-09-09 15:49:05 +0000 UTC]

i'm not sure. i think each image was 3600 by 2400, but rendered with antialiasing, so really it rendered 4 times that. the GI was also a high quality with 2 or 3 bounces and a very high view rate. and the computer was a P3 600 with, at best, 256 megs of SDRAM.

dan-act [2004-08-24 11:17:55 +0000 UTC]

very nice piece, although i initially thought of more depth to the reason behind it you know the whole working in an office/cardboard box closed up and tucked under the bed kinda thing, you can imagine a grey little guy infront of the computer working, grey because all his colour has been absorbed by the surroundings. anyway just a thought feel free to ignore lol

not saying your room is crap and boring lol, its just the colour of this piece, and the fact its in a cardboard box
