quick learner and good student.

Lot of Diamonds!!

I feel combustion is one among a cheap and best tool
for post production and got very good keyers too!!

Upcoming artist : Vijay

Very hardworking and very casual Gem

I think probably very old attempts and sort of stuck into Digital Art!!
I know is working lot,improved lot and will bounce back soon.


Let us Wish him all the best.

Another friend of mine

Posing & Rendering

Finally(stage01) got into Mentalray-SSS
feel bit happy with my attempts-:)

The great facial rig & textures from Mr.Jason Osipa,
Stop Staring: Facial Modeling and Animation,wonderful guide
for modeling,rigging and for animation too!!(facial)
and I just focus more at Posing & Rendering.
(check out some interesting links
for Mentalray stuffs in the last post)

Details:

A.Maya-Raytraced-Bilnn,Phong,PhongE
with basic lighting(3point:Key,Fill & back light)



B.Maya-MentalRay,FG but no AO(amb.Occ)
with basic lighting(3point:Key,Fill & back light)

C.Maya-MentalRay,FG but no AO(amb.Occ)
with basic lighting(3point:Key,Fill & back light) + more tweaking.

Translucent Nature

Originally uploaded by mmuralirajan
Translucence Property:Simulates the way light diffusely penetrates through translucent objects. This means that when light shines on one side of the object, the other side is partially illuminated. This can be used for effects such as clouds, fur, hair, marble, jade, wax, paper, leaves, etc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nature is the TRUE creator and we 3D artists
are trying to be good at our attempts to create close to the truth(Nature).

In Maya or any 3D package we can achieve this translucence results with light(placement is impotent) and shader properties.

Wanna get caught into MentalRays....

It is very much necessary to have strong hand with
Mental Ray or V Ray to get involved with Realistic outputs
in CG particularly forVfx projects.There are so many links
on the net but these links are
very useful to spend time to improve lot

Sculpting In Maya

I started with rough blocking(after some
sketching Session ( anatomy study))
Smoothenmesh once and add some more details
and repeated the some procedures
for two more times got result without going
to Zbrush or Mudbox!!


OK!!Its is another simple attempt to push the Maya
and the hardware to some more level to enjoy :)
without arguments the Zbrush and Mudbox
are better thanany other 3D Tools and
my favorite one Mudbox.

and the shader is Blinn with samplerInfo

Looking for Mesh files or Scene files to test and improve your Rendering Skills?

Lighting Challenge scene are free
for any artist to download and light.
Use whatever 3D software you want
to light and render the scene.

Maya Mental Ray Lighting Shading Rendering 02

Few more test shorts not the final stuff...

has some more problems with glass shadow and left it because
I am focusing more on lighting :)

Pretty and handsome Lights

These few stills are lit by Maya native lights
(nowadays this is become traditional lights
because of the plug ins)

used raytraced shadows and we can see the raytraced
results interactively with mental ray IPR !!! and back
to Maya's native renderer to render the final result.

and see u soon

Get caught into MentalRays....

OOoo my God I can't go away from the colors
thank God
for the eyes and wonderful creations

1.dgs shader is very good for all the metallic surface finish
but got to go very hard with bump!!
(as it's own photon shader for better caustics)




2.dielectric shader is too good for solid but transparent and
semi transparent again bump mapping requires some
extra efforts !!
(as it's own photon shader for better caustics)



3.dOf and round corner are supporting well to get some better results



4.car paint phen.and even this one too needs the efforts (little)to get bump!!




all those images took arnd.14mnts to render (512\512)
after optimization.


Here is the pFx and raytraced output work little more to
save render time when ever possible,but can't match on
some areas with MR.


(can get better result with layer render plus post production)
and the journey continues..................................................................................

Medical Animation

stills from Medical Animation

Foot Switch

Medical Animation - Project
(portion of it)

CG works - Sun Moon

completely done by using Maya(only)

Mr.Muns
