Description
This is a radiosity "test" render (as a bit of fun) from an animation I'm currently working on.
I imported the DAZ songbird into C4D XL R8 and totally rigged it up with a new bones system, so that I could incorporate the flight feathers. Certainly learnt a lot about MOCCA over the past week LOL!
The nest box is modelled and textured from an example at the top of my garden.
The final animation will hopefully include a full model of my garden, and I will probably fore go the radiosity, for a more render friendly lighting setup.

JEEZ this is good! This may well be the most photo-realistic image I've ever seen from C4D. The texturing on the birdbox is absolutely unbelievably good, and you've captured the life-like motion of the birdie perfectly. Great work - I am in awe!
Unique idea. Wonderful render. I hope you share the finished work!
It shows beauty of nature..this is excellent,I love it very much!!!!!
Agree with all of the above, an amazingly photorealistic render...can't wait for the anim. Excellent work!
Amazing,! im turning green :)
great stuff - like to see how you make the light without radiosity, don'T forget to tell us your way then :-)
This is stunning. I can't wait to see the animation. The wood is magnificent ...
UNBELIEVABLE! Excellent
The DOF is so perfect, it's totally unnoticable! And great textures/ligting, too!
Quite simply, incredible! Looks quite realistic!
Koolmees, nice birdie!
Oh my... that looks great!!! Just keep us updated on your rendertimes when you're rendering the animation... Awsome work on the birds texture!
FANTASTIC. The models, the texture work! This is REALLY out of this world! WOOOOOOOOOOW! I'm in awe :) 10+
Now this is excellent. Would love to see it as an animation when you're done. A definite contender for the 3D World gallery.
Very nicely done, very realistic!
Been just back from a stroll in your gallery, to leave my notes on the image that first caught my eye. Gotta be quick, 'cause software stores should be closing by now and I have to buy me this proggie! (Hey, just kidding, I know that the software helps but the artist makes all the difference. As in your case. Look forward to seeing that animation soon!) BTW, why that pesky scrolling thing won't go past the 'excellent' rating? Think mine's stuck =)
Lovely!
Outstanding... lovely color and textures! My only nit, if it were to be picked would be that the plane of the tail feathers is too flat, shouldn't there be more of a flare?
This is fantastic! I can't believe how realistic it is.
Love the use of earth tones and stop action of the wings. of extreme quality. Fantastic rendering, will be back for more.
Great! Just the tail-feathers look a bit flat.
lovely image !!!
So beautiful and so realistic!! Gosh! :o)
Very nice image. The textures on the birdhouse are very worn but the edges are very sharp and straight. I would suggest making those edges a little more "worn" also. I really like the image very much.
