It's anchored Frank, so not moving. But your point is well taken. Somehow I couldn't get my heart and attention fully behind this one. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Lovely stuff everyone. Hey Michael, I now understand "anchored to the water. Well over the plimsoll line...lol. Nah, nice one. Daz update has just introduced vdb's. The ability to render volumetric volumes so that's where I'm at. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

A PA artist at Daz; Ansiko; did a model of the Endurance. This is a quick render of it stuck in the ice.

What a rebuild, Mariner. Mr Shackleton would be very pleased with that _________________ Dorothy: "there's no place like home!" |

Re: Challenge 898: The Endurance
First to brave the Antarctic weather this week was Ant Snell, with a gloriously stormy entry. A fantastic rebuilt boat, great waves, and a real sense of drama. Perhaps even better if the sailor was holding the wheel. Glad your hand is recovering, Ant - it’s clearly working well. Good to see that diving suit resurrected in lwc's animated entry. I like the way the shark subtly swims through the ship, and the stream of bubbles is fun. Maybe the diver should bob about a bit? Fabulous tentacles in the second entry. Although perhaps they could do with some more convincing texture, or even a sucker or two. I feel seasick just looking at michael sinclair’s entry - I think it’s the fact that the waves rise and fall in opposite directions. Really nicely done, Michael. The only thing I’d correct would be your choice of sky - that’s not a horizon-level view. There’s a vast narrative in Frank's animation, with some spectacular special effects: the light flares on that underwater craft are particularly impressive. I like how the boat rises once the captain’s on board, greatly helped by the intricate soundtrack. Beautiful work, Frank. Oh, and thanks for your scholarship on the problem of the rear-facing helmsman. Classy work from GKB, starting with the rippling title. The water distortion on the ship and Shackleton are fine, although surely the effect should apply to the fish as well? I like the way they move, especially the ones that swim through the wreckage. A powerful image from DavidMac, showing a lot of intrigue and mystery. The rolling water edge is very dramatic. I agree with Frank’s assessment, though: with the ship clearly anchored behind the iceberg, it doesn’t make sense for its bow to be sticking in front of it. A strongly tinted skeletal scene from tooquilos, suggesting a blue movie to follow. But it’s clear skies at the start of the animated version, showing the ship wrecking and gradually dropping beneath the waves. I really, really like the subtle movements of the ship’s wheel - you’re the only one to attempt that this week! Glorious. A handmade reconstruction from Mariner, with a rigging array that I assume is authentic and a rather grumpy-looking captain. I really like the shadows, the new wheel housing and, especially, the open door to the downstairs (insert technical maritime term here) which offers much promise. Excellent work, Michael, a tremendous job. Is dwindt's entry a photograph? No, it seems to be a rendered 3D scene. Extraordinary. Was there a lot of Photoshop work afterwards? |

I have tried to change the texture on the tentacles, but they are a preset and refuse my efforts... Thanks Steve...! |
