Description
So alone in the pitch black darkness, still he can lighten up the world.This is my last finished project in Cinema 4D. I used the model I've created for my school project - Pixar's Luxo Junior.
I've learned a few things about lighting the scene recently and I wanted a challange. So I decided I'd make (or at least try to make) a decent wallpaper. I tweaked the model and material slightly and then started to set the lights. The horror
But I think it's turned out good and I like it and hope you do too

i know her from ard electronica festival many years ago- pixar came up with.
when i see your work, i think i should start again to make some 3d pics. some years ago i tried do produce one simpel object every day (like this [link] )
when i see your beautiful work, i think i should try again

Thanks for taking interest in my work! I've seen yours and it's good, I see that you used to create it in 3Ds Max. If you feel like getting started again I can only recommend it. 3D art is very interesting and beautiful and it's not that complicated to create a nice picture. I'd like to give you an advice: don't ever get discouraged by difficulty. If you don't want to try something just because it's difficult then you never accomplish anything. So if you'd really like to create 3D again then hit it! I'm looking forward to see your work

hi, thanks for your encouraging words. i need that, becouse, the most things i do i do not find peer groups in my environment. now i remember, i did not get it, to build cars by batches (a 3ds modul). on the end the recriated cars was looking very different then the original, also i could not hold the single batches together by transforming them. to create boats by nurbs i found not so difficult. after all, it need so much time and i have too many interests. but now winter season starts, maybee i find time for some nice hours with it. for my job ([link] ) it also could be helpful.

That's the spirit! Don't hesitate to try something new, or get back to the old in your case. If you're going to work in 3Ds Max there are quite a lot tutorials and manuals how to create 3D all over the internet. Or if you'd like to try a new approach I recommend Cinema 4D, which I'm currently using. It's a 3D software not only for beginners and I've found it quite easy to understand and get used to it.
I wish you good luck!

So that light has a name? I never knew that. You did very well with the lighting. And that opening line in the description-a bit inspiring!

Sure, Luxo and Luxo Jr. are featuring in one of the first Pixar's short movies called "Luxo Jr." from 1986
I'm glad you like it, thanks

You're using Cinema 4D right? Might I suggest for your light source, adding a little light fall off to it. Fall off would help to create a strong light beam, and when it hits the surface it will look more like a real life lamp.

Actually I was using falloff but probably not as much as I should. Anyway I'll try it out, thanks for your advice

try inverse falloff. that's the real ticket

Cool, it does look better. Thanks!

Looks good, but the proportions seem a bit off. Nothing some simple adjustments can't fix though. I would make the head larger and the base smaller if your going for accuracy.

Cinema 4D is not hard to learn, I mean to learn the basics of 3D graphics. I've heard about it a year ago and started learning it 6 months ago (when I got student licence

Being a complete novice in regards to Cinema 4D (and computer animation in general; I know next to nothing about how programs such as Maya work), I can't give a fair critique on this, but I do like the lighting, although it does come off as a bit "sketchy" against the black background there, unless that was intentional. Your model of Luxo Jr. is very good, although it would probably look better if he was situated flat on the ground and not at an angle/tilt. Overall, though, nice work!

Thanks for you comment

You are most welcome.
Actually, I think the "light against dark" contrast is very interesting, as long as a solid floor is established. I do like the fact that you implemented soft shadows and lighting into the scene instead of making things too bright. Perhaps some shadows on the lamp itself would make the shot more realistic. As for the tilt, it doesn't bother me at all now, for some reason, but rather comes off as giving the piece more personality. I don't know why I thought the tilt didn't work before. Ha-ha. I see what you mean by it coming off as "shifted" due to the dark floor, though.
In any case, great work, and my apologies for replying to your comment so late!

It looks believeable. I am bad at figuring out lighting. So forgive me for being sparse with words.
