c&c please!

Basicly stopped making PSP theme's and trying to make some stuff in 3d maya.

i used a latice and a deformer to twist a nurbs sphere,. nothing special but i tried to render occlusion based,.

layer based occlusion:


EDIT:
shader based occlusion(first shader networki made)
this way i can get a shadow in the render and some reflection,. linking a occlusion node to a basic shader node. still needs tweaking,.
Best is to use the first render and make a normal render and blend them in Photoshop,. to add occlusion to a normal render,. and or bake the texture into 1,..


EDIT:
This is as close as i wanted to get whot i wanted to make,. ;p
i could do a PS layer blend with a occlusion render and a normal shaded render,. don't want to,. ;p

I dare say its simple, yet very nice indeed.

Only thing I'd like to mention is that the surface of the object seems quite rough... while it isn;t a problem since it makes it look like it was made from a rough substance (although it would look a bit more photo-realistic if it was rougher), a completely smooth surface would make it look like it was made from China, then theres the possibility of adding designs to it.

Hey you got a very nice plant holder right there :D

try a loft

oh yeah give me an obj lol

looks simple,. ;p but yet,.

the point of a occlusion based render is the "rough clay like look" so basicly that was whot i wanted,.
to get a smooth look i go from occlusion layer to main layer and use any smooth shader i want,. phong, blin or any other shader with reflection,.. and render a final gather,. i try and post a glossy render,. ;p

@ORGAN i wanted to sculp a nurbs sphere,. i have't worked with curves/lofting(if that's whot you mean) yet,.

well good news I will be uploading about 6 hours of maya training videos ;)

i am not sure but i might already have that,. i check it out later.

well he did not post in the way of a 3D artist

poly count
scale
normal mapping

& a wire frame render is always needed ;)

anyway vary good job , you will feel at home here http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/sv_home.php

shader based occlusion render,. :)
