Glass mushroom product render. Created in Lightwave 9.2. The surfaces utilizes the new Dielectic node.

Other Specs are:
1 area light
1 HDRI
Real Camera Lens
FPrime 3 render with 4 bounces
Minor post-work to color correct

Here are some additional renders of each mushroom:

]]> Sat, 16 Jun 2007 05:20:58 +0000 http://mlynch.cgsociety.org/gallery/507703

Also known as Vaseline Glass. The first render simulates the glass under UV light, where as the second render is under normal light.

Both are textured using Lightwave 9.2's dielectric node. The "glowing" mushroom applies a thickness and incidence angle to the color to simulate how the light effects the glass in the real world.

Specs:
1 Area Light
1 HDRI
1 Spot Light (in the glowing version to help similate the glow from light passing through the glass and being dispersed onto the ground)
FPrime 3 render
4 Ray Bounces

Below is the version under natural light:

Another of my recent product renders. This one proved to be a bit more difficult than anticipated... It's surprisingly difficult to make clear glass look "clean" without it washing out completely under reflections and specularity.

Notes:
4 spot lights (I got rid of my area lights for this one... huge render times... not using FPrime yet)
2 HDRIs (1 Lightprobe and 1 Textured Environment)
4 glow panels for specular highlights
Render time: 1 hour 16 minutes (at 2400x3000)

Another product render. This time Obsession Night - of the brands that I've worked on this is one of my favorites.

I tried to find a balance between light and dark, while trying to portray the fragrance as being deep and sexy.

Notes:
1 Area light
3 Point lights (for fill)
1 HDRI

This particular fragrance was a limited edition his & hers cologne released exclusively for H&M... it hit the shelves in December 2004.

In this renderI tried to capture the warmth of the fragrance - which has strong undercurrents of chocolate and spice, as well as tie into the rather grandiose nature of Karl Lagerfeld. ...hence the low camera angle.

Notes:
1 Area light
1 HDRI

Nothing stellar - just another quick experiment with Vue 6 Infinite. This time using God Rays, Spectral Skies, procedural terrains, and paintable ecosystems.

Minor post work done in Photoshop to enhance color as well adjust levels and curves to enhance the God Ray effect.]]> Wed, 18 Apr 2007 11:25:12 +0000 http://mlynch.cgsociety.org/gallery/359238

I wanted to create a dreamy/unreal quality to the scene, and chose to do this through the use of color and light.

The pillars were modeled in Lightwave and textured in Vue 5 Infinite. Color adjustments, and diffused light were all handeled in Photoshop post-render.

C&C is welcome.]]> Fri, 19 May 2006 03:28:13 +0000 http://mlynch.cgsociety.org/gallery/343918

Modeled in Silo.
Composed, lit, and rendered in Strata.

Lit with three glow panels and a lightdome.
Radiosity render.
...Caustics were reduced because I found them to be overwhelming considering the scene’s composition.

This scene was included in the Exhibition in issue 79 of 3D World (July 2006).]]> Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:48:58 +0000 http://mlynch.cgsociety.org/gallery/343915

Part of a Tron related project, this had initially been intended to be a reconstruction of Clue searching for Flynn's stolen games. However, the scene lacked a sense of drama. So I replaced the single tank with a large formation, and lowered the camera angle, which changed the tone of the image. The scene took on a much more dynamic and ominous feel. It also went from being a reconstruction of an existing scene to an original composition. Some liberties were taken in the creation of the scene – such as the data streams overhead – I incorporated motion blur, which was not used in the original film. This choice was done to slightly update the subject matter and to better convey movement. In the end I was quite pleased with the final scene and direction.

All modeling was done in Strata. Lit used several strategically placed point lights, one spotlight, and a lightdome. No Radiosity used in this render - it's strictly Raytraced... The bounced light of Radiosity made the scene feel "too real." Some post-render work was done in Photoshop to make the scene look and feel more like a movie still.]]> Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:39:53 +0000 http://mlynch.cgsociety.org/gallery/359234

A small illustration I was recently asked to do.

The large red planet was created in Photoshop and then brought into Painter for detailing. The rest of the scene was done entirely in Painter.]]> Fri, 19 May 2006 03:18:13 +0000 http://mlynch.cgsociety.org/gallery/343913

For this scene I wanted to capture the vast splendor of space, while generating a sense of foreboding. I had been given a very specific direction on the look of this planet and what the scene should convey. My first thought was to show as much of the planet as possible and generate the mood through the use of color. However I opted to have only a small portion of the planet's surface illuminated to try and convey a sense that the planet may not be all that it seems, and that it could possibly be hiding something. To further emphasize the mood I chose agitating colors for the nebular cloud in the background.
]]> Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:28:27 +0000 http://mlynch.cgsociety.org/gallery/337855

I wanted the planet to feel outwardly alien, cold, yet somehow tranquil and inviting. I also needed to convey the fact that the planet was somewhat developed - thus the inclusion of cities on the dark side.]]> Tue, 28 Mar 2006 18:57:35 +0000
