Description
This image was created for a 2 part tutorial for Imagine FX magazine, which aims to show how it is possible to model and texture a ship (relatively easily) in the style of Chris Foss - a well known and influential sci-fi airbrush artist.
In this image, I decided to create a lighthouse and seascape, with the 2 figures to add a sense of scale, as well as isolation.
Modeled, textured and rendered in C4D9.6
Cheers :)

Great stuff Adam. Love the modeling and the scene and the textures you've got in here.. Feast for the eyes mate.
outstanding work! i really dig this style also. i wanna try the tutorial now myself! :)
Count me in as well. Wonderful sense of scale as well.
Outstanding modeling!! Wow! That is fantastic. You are very talented. Excellent work!
Before I read your notes I actually thought, "Foss!" That is truly amazing. The water is fantastic too
Hey your pretty good at this 3D lark,you'll have your stuff in Magazines next :) Oh hang on you have !!! Great as always,and that's annoying !!!
Wow, now thats an image!
Superb all around!!
Wonderful work. Looks just like something that he would do.
Excellent work... Maybe more water work instead of Painting the Spray...I really feel that some more Poly spray or maybe a few emitters blowing spray would only enhance this image. Like I said stunning work...
Somewhat funny, as if the big one would be asking for the way to Panama ... ;-)
This is a way cooler image than the one you have in the magazine mate (in my humble opinion of course). The lighthouse is an inspired touch. top work that man!
Kool!
Excellent stuff. You've really captured that look you described
100% Foss! That smoke(?) at the bottom of the rock sea, is that PS work?
Good stuff. How is the rock made?
Hey folks - many thanks! - the 'smoke' is mean't to be sea spray/foam, but I must admity it needs to be repainted I think - it was done in Photoshop. The rock is a couple of landscape objects with an spd material made from noise, and a photographic texture tile. :)
excellent work
Incredible! As soon as the graphic loaded I gasped "Chris Foss!" and then I read your credits... then started jumping up and down like the idiot that I am. Amazing work again, Adam! :o)
I don't like those "oh wow" comments... but I actually did say that when the image was loading:) Excellent Foss ship - takes me back a while!
Its because of you Kromekat, or should I say Adam and your tuorials, that I now have a modicom of talent. I buy ImagineFX every month. Please do more tutorials :) Art should be for everyone, (even talentless souls like me) Love your work, one of my favourite artists. Brill
Outstanding! I saw a scene like this on the dutch coast near Vlissingen.... :) Great work, great modelling... :)
Simply Fantastic Adam... Hah! LOL don't you think it's ironic that the render with the most viewings in my gallery is the one in which I followed your tut in Imagine FX (Sci-Fi babe/Vixen) At the time I did'nt realise you were 'kromekat' So a big thanks for being so altruistic. Here's hoping you do more Bryce tuts :)
Talk about bringing the ships safely into harbor!!
Foss all the way (and I know Foss). Superbly done!
I can't believe I missed this one! FANTASTIC IMAGE! Excellent work on everything!
Yup just like Foss, BRILL scene and model ! Cheers :o)
Great Work man... I love Foss and this a great tribute to his work. Is that tut available online? Cheers
awesome scifi scene
