Good concept. Unprofessional, crass realisation.

You'd like Renderosity.

[Matt]

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the "concept / idea" meant to even be?

[Mat]

I realise that my stuff is hit and miss, or some people might say that I am striking out all the time, but I enjoy what I do.

The majority of renders that I do are not shown here, I just put the odd one or two in, and only if it shows a combination of diferent tecniques ie fiber filter, shaders, radiosity, comping multiple renders etc. I make sure that I put a nudity warning on the title so that there is no suprises, the majority of the renders that I do contain nudity anyway, you may or do think that the use of nudity is a cheap shot and just an atention grabing exersize, that however is not why I use it.

Yes I have a gallery at renderosity, most of what you don't see goes there.

The concept/idear. (Show off my Yoku model, using fiber filter for the furry bits),

Test a mix shader with kappa as the main node, put Yoku in a intersting pose, fix the pose as much as posible with the model limitations and creat a setting to go with the pose.

As I was putting this render together, I thought that the skin texture was a bit toy like so I ran with that Idear and put the model on a shelf, then I thought I'd make a display for her and put the boxes all over the place.

The origional Idear however was going to be a sacrifice scene in an old temple.

If I was asked knowing that this is a gallery, do I think that this image is art? I honestly couldn't say yes, though some of my sketches that I may only spend 10mins on with faint construcion lines still showing I would say yes straight away. because of what can take several months in setup, countles ours modeling and texturing, riging, when your finaly finished there is a sence of achievement and the model itself is art, so surely any time you go and use the model in a scene this is still the case, that unfortunately is not the message I'm getting here, anyway that's my thoughts.

[Iain]

It's not nudity that's in any way controversial. That's always the misconception when nudity related scenes are criticised.

In this image, the questionable part, in my opinion, is the camera angle and the focus of attention it creates.

This kind of thing just makes it appear that the artist is male, probably 14 or 15 and going through puberty, rather than someone studying anatomy and artistic concepts.

[lwanmtr]

Renderosity wouldnt allow that pic because of the genetalia..Renderotica would...hehe.

I agree..the camera angle what takes the artistic concept away from the image...You can easily imply the genetalia with a different angle, and even have it visible on the smaller boxed models..at least then you attention isnt immediately drawn there.

On the model..it's good..but if you're going to have anatomy as a focus, you need to study a little more..the genatal area on the model looks wrong...One way you can fix it would be to make the figure look more like a toy than an anime character..seams, joints and such like that. Removing the transparency from the hair too. Also, most 'posed' figurines and modeled in interaction with the base or stand, so their not obviously just positioned over it.

Not trying to be mean or anything, just my observations.
