3D renders using Art of Illusion

Featured Replies

Hi folks,

 

I have always been a fan of 3D rendering, and have been looking for a good free model creation and rendering package for a while now. A few months back I came across Art of Illusion, a free Java based app that was exactly what I was looking for. Here's some of the output from said package:

 

 

 

Turntable.jpg

 

This turntable was the first thing I attempted. Doesn't look too bad I thought.

 

 

 

LavaLamp.jpg

 

A nice little Lava lamp was next.

 

 

 

LampBowl2.jpg

 

Obviously a bowl of fruit. My first attempt at using only one light source.

 

 

 

CandleHolder.jpg

 

My fist real attempt at lathing some glass.

 

 

 

Wine5.jpg

 

Yayyy, Wine! Using the same lamp from the bowl of fruit!

 

 

 

PDA.jpg

 

This is a model of my Windows Mobile thingy, it could do with more detail.

 

 

 

Borg.jpg

 

Amazingly enough this was very simple. A basic cube primitive bump mapped with borg cube images and planet backdrop!

 

 

 

Dalek.jpg

 

Ahhh, now we come to the reason why I wanted to try my hand at rendering. I saw someone else's render of a Dalek and knew I could do better. This was my first Dalek model, and I'm in the middle of building a better one, so stay tuned!

 

 

 

WarOfTheWorlds.jpg

 

My first big scene render, they are the original war machines from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.

 

 

 

Sonic.jpg

 

I wonder what this is? :lol:

 

 

 

Well that's about it for now, except for my signature which is a render of a GP2X, only in red instead of the usual black.

very nice modeling, I was pretty bad at it back when I used to try stuff like this. I think the thing you need to work on is the textures so that they look more realistic.

 

 

 

loving the wine by the way.

Sonic Screwdriver 8-)

 

 

 

Nice, I'm impressed. I like the Dalek particularly.

wow. they all look EXTREMELY realistic compared to most 3d renders i see. GJ =D>

The 6th is my favorite (PDA)

 

 

 

They're all great though :) I might learn how to do this kinda stuff one day

I like the Champagne/Wine, the 5th one.

 

Very nice though

 

I love the angle of each image.

 

 

 

9/10

 

Aslo like the pda as well :)

very good.. and a nice sonic screwdriver

The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time

andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!! <3:

Finally, I get to save the Earth with deadly lasers instead of deadly slide shows!

they look nice. good job.

I'm not a fan of most of them, but you did a good job on the windows mobile (thing). The background kind of kills the mobile though.

 

 

 

 

 

The GP2X is nice as well. It looks like you have the rough modeling down, I would really work on textures though. These are all very plain to look at right now in an untextured form.
