Description

I'm a huge SciFi and Fantasy fan and a lot of my professional art has been in this genre through sculpture and hero class props and models. Probably the finest example of pure SciFi was Kubrick's 2001. The film's climax was so surreal, it leaves a lasting impression. I thought it would be fun to attempt a render of that scene with different venues from Dave Bowman's "memories." This is my first go. This of coursed could not have been done without Alvatar's beautiful EVA Pod model. Bowman's Memories 1 by RSand55 EVA Pod by Alvatar RW Hall of Dreams by Renderwelten Real Paints shaders by DzFire Arranged in DAZ 4.9 Pro & rendered in 3Delight. Lighting was native HDR and camera from Hall of Dreams. I try very hard to give credit to prop artists. If I am in error regarding any prop, please contact me and I will correct it. Thanks for looking!

Very cool idea you have for these alternate endings for the movie. Being a surrealist nut myself, I could think of a dozen scenarios that could make for very different intellectual responses to the story. Having said that, as my mind wonders I start to go to my silly side and of course the first place the pod ends up is in the girls locker room (LOL). Anyway, this is a really wonderful render.

Great lighting and texturing, especially on the floor tiles. You're going to be mad at me for this, but when I saw this render the first thing I thought of was some kind of automated domestic helper that goes around the place on its own, cleaning up every spot it passes over. :)

'2001' would be an example of SF that makes you think and wonder -- as opposed to all that no-brainer 'SF' featuring light ray swords, people in baggy clothes with fancy-pansy tricks up their sleeves, and the usual good-versus-evil story that has been done to death (sigh)...
