I was always curious how it would have looked in reality :)

Thank you all!
did you happen to use photoshop brushes for the textures? No. Just use tileable textures plus Blend channel. And normal maps, of course :)

... What technique did you use to simulate the ambient occlusion? I would call it as "awful-time-consuming-hand-made-technique" :) Painting on textures in PS plus overhead "shadows" (*.png image planes) everywhere :) I'd really like that in iClone 5 AO would appear at last.
...
The fact I've always liked this great masterpiece. That's why I was swearing... and yet continued to draw :)

You hand painted them? wow , great job. Very accurate results! Very Impressive! :w00t: BTW you missed the shadows in-between the legs of Van Gogh, there should be some self-occlusion there as well where the legs touch the chair to create better contact. ;)
Good luck in the competition.

PS: i can't wait until IC 5 and having screen based self occlusion. too. :)

:blush: I know... :blush: I noticed it only when it's all done ... but I had no strength to rework ... I hope that you don't tell anyone about it ;)

That must have been before his right ear was sliced-off;) Great Impressionist Pic, Kurzal :)

Yes, i take my hat off, you are a real artist

Thank you all for your kind words!
That must have been before his right ear was sliced-off I think it was left ear :) He painted his self-portraits looking at the mirror. This can be judged by which side are the buttons in the picture and ... it's easier for right-hander to cut yourself a left ear :D

However, recent research suggests that Gaugin cut it off in a drunken brawl!

I wish I was as positive as everyone here, but this does seem a long jump from the SketchUp model to the iClone rendered model. For me, many details do not seem to match in a kind of visual mathematical sense. To me it appears much like a 2D painting overlaid with additions that produce effects not generated through iClone. I guess what I am saying is that I was not expecting so much Post Production for an image here.
But then, it does show what can be done with computers and some artistry.:discuss:

That's why I quit drinking 4 years ago :)

It's stunning beautiful!!
I love the colors you used for the textures (very much Van Gogh like) and the Van Gogh avatar as well. So much artistic.
You just gained a new fan! :D

Great work, and lots of "pop". People might be interested to take a look at the original model on 3D Warehouse:

Great work Kurzal. I love those art comes alive models and you make it look very very good. Check out this model of Hopper's Nighthawks (if you havent seen it already). Cool stuff.

That is nice! I just downloaded it and WOW! So real....What do you think this guy does his modeling in? Sketchup?
One more from me - Dali's Sphere's...worth a download to see it in action.
Ive always thought it would be cool to make a living museum flick in iclone. Theres certainly some models worth using for that kind of thing.

thebiz.movies (1/5/2011) What do you think this guy does his modeling in? Sketchup?

I think he used SketchUp for simple shapes (vase etc) and different program for "organic" shapes (pay attention to the triangular mesh) But! He could, for example, use some ruby script/plug-in for hard modelling inside SketchUp. Why not? :)

And the possibility he makes it in SketchUp, then exports it not as a sketchup model format, then re-imports it to tweek the triangles for the shape. That would work and explain the triangles too I think. But it would be much easier to explain via the use of another program as you mention. We learn from watching others, I guess.
