Description

Returning to my Jeannie Bottle model (created from a lathed path in Strata 3D Pro 3.9). Just another playful test with Vue, really. I wound up doing more post work than I had intended. Mostly to soften the dunes, add a little sand flow around the spheres, punch up the smoke, and adjust the levels. Oh, and add a lot of noise to the foreground to simulate sand grit. Again, just an experiment. I really need to move on to other models...

I don't recall Jeanie having a sphere. Wouldn't that make her reflection look fat? I really dig that glow in the bottle's shadow. I wonder if a wave effect on that particular area would strengthen its hold on the sand. I also like the texture on the bottle itself, as it seems untouchably perfect.

Jeannie could blink and make her reflection thin ;-) Hmmmm. A slight wave effect under the bottle shadow/glow on the sand? Hmmmmm. Think I'll try that! The bottle texture is the standard Red Cathedral Glass that ships with Vue. I added the gold rings in Vue, too. The bottle just needed some extra glitter.

hmm..serendipity..I did a genie bottle in Strata as well, though not understanding the lathe effect, wound up with a buncha glued-together primitives..;) yours is by far the better work..great work on the textures..keep it up.

Wonderful play with light and glass and reflections. Very well composed and imaginative.

This is a lovely rendering. The reflections are interesting and the terrain is certainly more realistic than I've been able to achieve in Bryce. I'll have to look into Vue. Wonderful!
