Hey guys. I'd like to post a new render the way you want it with a blue theme. What kind of sizes do you want the render to be in?

And thanks for referring to me when posting your changed versions

Much appreciated!

Englyst · 23 April 2012, 14:31

Here's the first test in 1920x1080 for you to see. It's a bit dark and I'm rendering another lighter version. Only takes 5 minutes so a bit different than the original render times

You're very welcome mate, it was the least we could do for your work

Oh and Welcome Aboard EAB too

Hope you enjoy your stay

If that's how long it takes to render new versions in different colours, I'm sure you'll be getting plenty of requests

Englyst · 23 April 2012, 22:14

Thanks

I've been here before but apparently something changed and my login 'vanished'. It was quite a while ago so I'm not surprised.

Someone asked how the image was made. It was originally made in Lightwave 8 but now we're up to version 11 and things have become much better. Now all the cubes are instances with a random offset on the Y-axis. Much easier to handle. I guess there's around 6-8 million polygons in there since the boxes are subdivision surfaces to get the corners very smooth.

I'm thinking about playing a bit around with the image, but if anyone have ideas please don't hesitate to write them here.

Oh... I'm very happy that this thread has brought you to this Forum. I've never seen a thread alone for just a wallpaper, so it gives you an idea of how good yours is

I would like a 1024x768 version too if that's possible. Your colors seem deeper and better

Englyst · 24 April 2012, 18:22

Thanks for the kind words Retrofan

I've made a 1024x768 PNG for you. It's not the exact same view but close. Let me know if it fits the bill for you.

Retrofan · 24 April 2012, 19:41

Yep, I like the plastic look and the retro feeling it gives

(70's)

How does it look the ball in red and the rest like this last? Oh... the reflection too.

spannernick · 24 April 2012, 21:51

Wow I did realise this would get so much attention..

What I do is post all the new images on the first post so you don't have to look for them..
Nice to see it court the eye of the creator of the image,its a brilliant one at that..

I have added the images to the first post now,thanks for all the pll that has contributed so far it been amazing..

Working on the red ball in the blue environment. I found some issues with raydiosity splotches where the scene is dark so I'm refining the resolution so I can get them removed. This takes a little while but afterwards it's much better and renders quicker.

johnim · 25 April 2012, 14:55

hi micheal do you have the model to post on here

cheers

Thanks Michael for making the image in the first place..

So Michael its a model first then you render it,you can do that in 3ds max too...I m a modeller too make models of old computer and consoles,I might post a pic of one soon..

I made a Amiga 500 model its my avatar now..

Englyst · 25 April 2012, 21:52

@Johnim: No reason to. It's so simple that the models themselves should be doable by anyone. It's the surface/scene scettings that bear the brunt of the work.

Basically it's a subdivided sphere, and a subdivided box.

I have done this a few times myself. It's really fun to do

So far I haven't done any such work recently unless we're talking the new C64 from Commodore. Which really isn't a C64 ...

Thanks Englyst. Well still you haven't made it and I'm remembering what DemonHellraiser said...

I have to say that your latest version is the one I like more.

Did you watch the video I recorded with one Demonhellraiser did under my request and that I'm using as wallpaper in my Pc using DreamScene?
[ Show youtube player ]

I know I'm asking too much, but I will say what the best wallpaper (well, video-wallpaper) would be for me: The one of the video changing colors, but using your darker blue and .. around the ball the phrase "Only Amiga makes it possible" turning around the ball... Yes, I know, just a dream... but would be the best DreamScene movie ever.

Englyst · 27 April 2012, 03:21

Thanks Retrofan. I'll keep it in mind. Just got back from the pub here in DK, and I'll see what I can do to satisfy your request... Time to sleep before I go to work... Hehe!

Englyst · 27 April 2012, 03:26

Here's 2 images before I go to sleep:

1024x768:

1920 x 1080:

Retrofan · 27 April 2012, 10:27

Simply incredible

These are the best, red Amiga ball and a beautiful blue. The reflections in the ball make it more real.
