Description
Heavily inspired by ~EraxerThis was made 99.999% in c4d. I resized it down in photoshop and applied a very slight sharpen. The rendertime was a whopping 15½ hours (3220x2400). So yeah, hope you like =].

you must get so tired of explaining what abstract is... jeez...
have you ever heard of an artist called Anish Kapoor? this kind of reminds me of some of his work (sculpture mainly).

Yeh actually!!, He won the turner prize ages ago, (done some research on that for school quite recently =]). Dunno what his artwork's like though, *goes to google* And no, I wasn't influenced by him in any way lol. But =Eraxer (the guy who did inspire me) might have been, so go check his gallery.
And yeh, explaining what abstract is is one hell of a pain, thank god for wikipedia and copy paste.

i knew shit will be hitting the fan if i asked what it was...
sorry i did'nt mean to hurt your feelings. if my horizons were'nt widened i'll be getting in line and not asking you what your thoughts were while making this piece
i can't believe one can start anything without it first being a thought, just calling it abstract is not enough.
eitherways, god bless you. and your art. no more questions from me.

Widen your horizons a little. This is abstract, it isn't made to make sense and it isn't made to resemble anything. It's main aim is to look good.

I would be interested to know what it is as well... It does not appear to be symmetrical, so I assume it isn't a vehicle... So what is it?

It's an abstract model, it isn't supposed to resemble anything.

Ah. Great job... then.
So why did you place your abstract model in a very representational setting?

To make something imaginary look real.

I know, all that GI and reflection is a pain in the ass to render, especially when you're stuck with maxon's shitty renderer.

This looks great, although the floor (as eraxer said) is a little repetitive in spots. And the two windows on the left feel like they aren't giving off any light to me, like they're just two white squares. Marvelous job on the main render though

Looking at this, two comments come to my mind, that the wood floor isn't the best, as in photorealistic...I tend to not like to use wood materials, they are usually easy to spot fakness in. Another is that the model it alittle to bendy, I like to have simple curves in mine, as in a "S" curve or a "C" curve, I use this alot in my models. If you add me on msn I'll send ya the xyz lid model too man, so you can pull it apart and see how was made
