Note to my PHOTOGRAPHY friends: This is not a photograph! (And it's not a flower, either!) :) I did this in a 3-D program called Blender. If you clicked on this from your e-bots, you're probably wondering where on earth you ended up! The background - what you see through the window - is a picture I took in my neighborhood. The wood is a 3-D model with a photograph of wood applied. Same thing for each bottle - different photographs laid on 3-D images. I don't think any of the photos I used are my own work - they're all stock images, or stuff I got from friends. If you have any questions about this image, or what I did, please feel free to drop me a line! .............. Note to BLENDER folks: This is a challenge piece I downloaded from the Blender website. There are several. I was going to provide you with a link, but I couldn't find it again! I didn't model the bottles, although I will admit that I tweaked some of them a bit! Added vertices, evened out the thickness of the glass, changed the shapes a bit here and there. I've been away from this gallery for far too long! My old computer just wouldn't handle the stuff I wanted to do. I now have a new computer that runs Blender like a champ! :) .................... HELP ME, BLENDER-TECHIES!!! I was trying to get reflections of the bottles in the window, and reflections of the bottles in the other bottles (where appropriate). Could not get it to do that to save my life. If anyone has any advice for me, I'm all ears! This is the basic setup: In the Render buttons I've got the RAY on. A/O is on, set at 16 samples. Three light set-up: one lamp directly above the scene, .4 Ray; one spot off to the right, .4 Ray; one spot in the same place as the Ray spot, .3 Buf. Only four of the bottles have NO Ray Mir or Ray Transp turned on. The rest have either Ray Mir, or Ray Transp, or both. The camera is right up on the scene, as you can probably tell! After rendering this literally 20 times (at three hours per render), I was done, done, done! But if anyone comes up with some ideas for me, I'll happily try them. Please use small words and tell me what buttons to push! I'm not much of a techie.
