Hello everyone!

I thought of participating in this competition after being away for so long in the maxwell forum. It's a bit late to enter, but I will try my best....I hope so :) I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Here is my entry, few models that I downloaded from google 3d warehouse, and I modeled the Puerta de Hierro (Madrid) gate.

Few tests, I am not happy with the look and feel. I might change a bit the placement and the scaling of the models, maybe the environment too to make it more dramatic.

A different composition with different bump intensity.

Yes cool is the word :) Very nice! I think I like the lighting in the middle one and the water reflections look nice too, and the material looks also very nice in the last one but the background is distracting.

Thanks Novena.

I thought this too Mihai. I will focus on the middle one and try to implement the same ice material of the fuzzy background and will see how it goes. :?

Hello abed,

Yes the mountain picture in the background is completely out of scale.

Find a better and less-confusing background and reinforce the sense of scale: so far it is hard to say if your monuments are real scale frozen architectures or small ice statuettes.

Greetings

Thanks Dario, I was planning to put them all in an opened freezer, also ice sculptured. So you only see the inside of it with the minuscule ice monument sculptures inside it. (it didn't work as I expected and there is no time to make a big change, so I fixed the scale and I changed the composition. I will set it to render for tomorrow and I am done!. This is a quick snapshot.
