Ladybid on a stick - Cinema 4D - General

[B]A ladybird on a stick I made![/B] Remember - This was actully pretty damn easy exept the textures (I got almost [B]NO[/B] experince on Photoshop). ... I made mistakes on the texture at the sides! I had to remake remake and remake again till it fits! [img]http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/168697_200273706655491_100000185883804_856569_5713480_n.jpg[/img] [b] So now, how did I made it? Don't read if you're a bored guy:[/b] First I added an object from the object tab. Rezised it and just put it there. Also the texture makes it look detailed modeled and HIGH QUALITY but it's just a premade by the MAXON company... The ladybird! Wasn't difficult at all exept the legs! Making that damn circle 1 time was like "okay", and then with the legs "not hundreds omg :v:"... But I [B]HAD[/B] to make 'em or it wouldn't be an animal, or something. Sorry for my shitty english!!! The sticky sharp things on the object was easily made with the "Fur" tool but I still didn't liked it because it took hours :O making all these plate objects around around and around! The reflections are automaticaly created, all I ahd to do was to press on the "Reflection" button! The background! As I said I have no experince on Photoshop or any sort of picture editor software [B]SOOO[/B] ... I grabbed one form Google itself! Found a nice artistic leaf wallpaper and dragged it into Cinema 4D! And finally, rendered the picture / 3D area / animating box or whatever it know is. In real life this ladybird would be around 15 meter. [B]TOOLS USED:[/B] Cinema 4D - For modelling, light, animation, wll creating 90% of it all. Adobe Photoshop CS3 - The texture (but I learned alot on this project and I'm happy for that). My brain - Well actully I'm not intellegent at all, more like retarded. I didn't know wich post icon I should use so I'll just pick the "Photos" icon! [B]-------->THIS IS THE UNRENDERED PICTURE<-------[/B] The beuty of the outside, but inside... There's a beast!

that looks almost real

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;27954092]that looks almost real[/QUOTE] The rendering system from MAXON are one of the most brilliant realistic shading ever. Cinema 4D are being used on almost [b]every[/b] TV commercial. [B]EDIT:[/B] Well that's what MAXON says, maybe it's just for advertisements? :(

Reflections look too strong, also it's lady BUG

[QUOTE=johan_sm;27954736]Reflections look too strong, also it's lady BUG[/QUOTE] no it's ladybird. And get a better texture for the ladybirds back, it's way blurry at the moment.

too shiny, and get it a mate <3

Very nice render. Looks like one of those 3D simulations of Discovery Channel

I thought it was real. Well done!

I also thought it was real. The reflection needs to be more of a shine and it looks like its just laying on the log instead of gripping it.

So, my biggest problem, is the texture? So all I have to do is to learn more Photoshop and then realize that... It must look realistic, learn from animal scenographics and study the details till I know HOW it really looks like:sax:

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;27970541]Reflection too[/QUOTE] Well that's more like a minor issue, I think the reflection make it more 'artistic' not realistic :)

[QUOTE=Barnhouse;27954790]no it's ladybird. And get a better texture for the ladybirds back, it's way blurry at the moment.[/QUOTE] It's a bug, not a bird. Birds are vertebrates. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird[/url] It's a flying polka dot beetle.

[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;28019119]It's a bug, not a bird. Birds are vertebrates. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird[/url] It's a flying polka dot beetle.[/QUOTE] It's both. I lol at the people that argue "NO IT'S NOT A LADY BUG, IT'S A LADY BIRD...It's the same exact thing with sports, football and soccer... [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccinellidae[/url] IT'S BOTH.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;27954736]Reflections look too strong, also it's lady BUG[/QUOTE] People in the South of the US and Brits use the term Lady Bird. [editline]16th February 2011[/editline] The glossy look isn't working for me either, you may want to tone it down for the ladybugs back?

You're all wrong. It's a Coccinellidae [editline]18th February 2011[/editline] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Coccinella_septempunctata_couple_(aka).jpg[/img] lol
