busi2ness Bio

I have many dreams, mostly ones one can hardly convey in spoken language. I want nature and peace around me, yet I do not want to relinquish digital photography. I have a Nikon D200 with a very basic lens. I had a Canon 30D too, but what a disappointment. BIO I am 55, an IT consultant and tried my hand at diamond digging, computer programming, being a network & computer technician, web designer, amateur photographer, etc. I am a man of the bush and appreciate simple things. I do photography assignments from time to time. I am privileged to live where I do, (map), a rural area in South Africa where I can hear the lions roar just 12 miles (20km) from where I live. I love this site and the artists uploading their work and I don't think any other site offers this varied depth in artistic skills. Piet You can chat with me here on Yahoo or MSN or Skype. Web sites of mine: Gallery and a Play site. July 2008

Description


Now I am taking baby steps here: I recall telling my 3D friends (kelvinhughes, drag, Maxine, Jocko, Richard and others) here on RR, that some day, when I am a big boy, I am also going to try my hand at 3D programs. I have made a few renders over the past few years but now I bit the bullet and made my first render of the desert I know, for upload. I had to start off working from memory, which caused me to redo it many times.

I would love to add a sidewinder snake, but I lack experience where to find good props, so please feel free to advise and write to me, even if it is just to tell me that my work sucks, lol.

Thank you for your comments on the previous upload:

I looked at your image, and was just about to make a comment about the superb dof, when I read what you said and realized this is a 3-D render! Wow. This is outstanding! You have an excellent future before you, my friend. :P Really fine work!

barbdennist ()  posted at 4:07PM Sat, 05 March 2011

I, too, thought it was a photo until I read what you wrote. I know absolutely nothing about 3-D but I can tell you that I sure like this. I look forward to more postings like this in the future.

VelvetMoxie ()  posted at 4:26PM Sat, 05 March 2011

Piet, this is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! You've done a fabulous job with it! Talk to Kelvin about the props...he knows where to get everything for Vue. I swear I thought this was a photo till I read your note--you're really doing great! I was starting to like Vue too till I realized I had to make major expensive upgrades to the thing every year. After that got Carrara and Bryce but haven't had the time to play with them. When I do I'll be THRILLED if I can turn out anything as nice as this!

Eutopia ()  posted at 4:35PM Sat, 05 March 2011

Yeah right Piet - "your work sucks" hahahahahaha It's absolutely stunning and to be honest - for this one, the side winder would've been too distracting. The focus you've brought onto the patterns in the sand is perfect :-) (For the record.... I'm seriously green with envy here.... just for the record) :-D

kelvinhughes ()  posted at 5:02PM Sat, 05 March 2011

excellent capture Piet my friend well done sir

gillbrooks ()  posted at 5:57PM Sat, 05 March 2011

This is very good! I particularly like the distant terrain - very interesting. DAZ used to do a free snake I think - for Poser/Daz Studio. Don't know if they still have it.

Boofy ()  posted at 8:01PM Sat, 05 March 2011

Hi Piet, I agree with Eutopia that a model in this particular pic may have distracted from the serenity of the pic and unless you used a grey-ish texture on the snake(scorpion??) it would also bring in color to what is a two tone black and white image, that may be good or bad. You could try a distant 2d image of a camel train if you can find one or a bird in the sky if you wanted to add a 'living element', but personally I would make it peripheral so as the eye is led back to that lovely rippling sand. Ask about a snake in the modeling forum, someone there would know where to find or may make one for you. The composition is lovely and you really have an eye for detail which is not surprising given your photography gallery. If this is your first attempt I am REALLY looking forward to seeing more my friend.

As Tara mentioned, I would have thought this was a foto!! Beautiful work!!

drace68 ()  posted at 8:56PM Sat, 05 March 2011

Excellent work. I, too, was thinking photo.

kgb224 ()  posted at 10:56PM Sat, 05 March 2011

I also thought it is a photo.Outstandin firs 3-d.Looks very realistic. I also want to try using the 3-d.

Buffalo1 ()  posted at 12:02AM Sun, 06 March 2011

Looks fine to me! A beautiful desert view.

Imaginatos ()  posted at 12:13AM Sun, 06 March 2011

beautiful desert view.

A stunning work, Oom Piet.It is very beautiful, You have done a grand job of it. I really like it. Hugs. Di. xx

BorisB ()  posted at 4:29AM Sun, 06 March 2011

An oustanding composition!!

tizjezzme ()  posted at 7:19AM Sun, 06 March 2011

I'm so glad you decided to post this .. A sidewinder would have been cool, too, but this is a beauty without it! You're in great hands here with any help you need; good luck and have FUN. I'm proud of you! :)

SIGMAWORLD ()  posted at 7:43AM Sun, 06 March 2011

Excellent image!

Chaosphoto ()  posted at 8:29AM Sun, 06 March 2011

Well well Piet, you are joining is crossover photogs then. Good to see and I actually thought this was a photo till I read your bit so very impressive work. Now I should bite the bullet too and learn how to do it as well :)

helanker ()  posted at 8:54AM Sun, 06 March 2011

Maybe it sucks because it is a desert ;-) But this is a superb render and I think you did a great job and you almost fooled me, untill I read it is not a photo.

Minda ()  posted at 10:47AM Sun, 06 March 2011

amazing work ,its really wonderful..

flora-crassella ()  posted at 12:53PM Sun, 06 March 2011

fantastic photo!!!!!

kansas ()  posted at 1:48PM Sun, 06 March 2011

Wonderful image. I agree: no sidewinder.

1010 ()  posted at 2:23PM Sun, 06 March 2011

I would have sworn this was a photo Piet, outstanding!!!

npauling ()  posted at 5:52PM Sun, 06 March 2011

Wow, I thought this was a photo until I read your script. This is a wonderful realistic looking desert you have created with amazing sand textures. I will really have to look closely at your postings in the future if this is a sample of your work. I hope we see more. Excellent work.

jeroni ()  posted at 5:56PM Sun, 06 March 2011

beautiful, love the colors and lighting excellent work

odie ()  posted at 8:28PM Sun, 06 March 2011

I wish to walk on the sands but that would mess up the ripples! I guess the only way to get in there is to be a sidewinder. Maybe in my next life! I don't know much about Vue but from what I hear this looks "real" and that sounds fantastic!

tennesseecowgirl ()  posted at 9:02AM Mon, 07 March 2011

Learning a new trade?? :) Fooled me I thought it was one of your exceptional photos.

Digital_Mischief ()  posted at 5:39PM Mon, 07 March 2011

Oh, my that is sooooooooo pretty!

castaneda ()  posted at 10:48PM Mon, 07 March 2011

Nothing sucks about this. Extremely well done and convincing, Even with the juxtaposed far terrain
