Description
A couple of weeks ago my partner started rehearsing "Time in a bottle" the song by Jim Croce. She's a talented pianist and she often plays in the next room when I'm modelling. Of course that song has been playing in my head over and over, even when she's not practicing!
Anyway, I woke up one morning with this idea in my head for a picture - and here it is at last. Firstly I made the background image of the ruined city using Vue 5 esprit. The suspension bridge was built using trueSpace 6.6 and everything else is made with vue.
The forground is all 100% trueSpace. The grand piano is a reworked version of the one that ships with the tS object libraries as is the chair. The streetlights, brick wall, plastered wall, windows, music stand, bottle, clock (inside bottle) and the hourglass were all made bt me with tS 6.6 after some really looooong renders. Almost every texture is multi-layered in some way or another.
I'm not sure if it really captures the idea of 'Time in a bottle' but I'm feeling like I've taken it as far as I want to at this stage so here it is for you to look at and hopefully enjoy
As usual, all and any feedback is most welcome.

Very nice! I really like the composition and your modeling is fantastic. Sometime when you feel the need to get away from the computer for awhile perhaps you could set up the scene to run a radiosity solution of the foreground and just let it chug away and then re-composite the foreground and background when its done.

And now I have that song going through my head -but that's okay, it's one of my favorites, always has been. ;) Excellent work, a sense of so much time passed. I think you have captured a unique and interesting vision of the song.

Thanks for yur kind remarks folks. I appreciate your taking the time to comment. j3d cg - a good suggestion re running a radiosity solution on this - the lighting is a little flat and radiosity could help that but for two things - firstly, almost every texture in this picture is multilayered so a radiosity calculation would probably take months on my little old computer and secondly - I NEVER feel the need to get away from my computer - I often have to be dragged away from it by my lond-suffering partner!!

Nice work, I really love the leaf on the keyboard!

Very nice picture. The city looks very nice. May I ask why you use Vue for this? Maybe some sheets of music lying on the piano would be nice.
