Question

Something for the weekend - Part 103 - Pool party!

Hi,

Thanks to all who took part on last weekend's "drifting" challenge. 

This week I bring you a swimming pool. I modelled and rendered the scene in Blender 3D,  and textured it in Adobe Substance Painter. However, it looks far too quiet for a pool party. Can you liven it up ?

 

The “rules”:

  • Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.
  • Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. It also would be great to see all those who have taken part in the previous challenges come and take part in this one.
  • There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

To download the image below at 3000 x 2000 pixels with an embedded ICC colour profile (sRGB), hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

 

For those that like to get a sense of scale, the pool measures 12 m x 8 m and is 1m deep at the shallow (far) end and 2m at the deep end. The "camera" lens used in rendering is 26mm focal length.

 

When posting back your image – please use the Blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun.

 

Dave

That looks like something Filter Forge might do.

It's a Plugin called Flexify by Flaming Pear.  I was playing with it just to try it out.

I started this meaning to have Donald Trump diving into an empty pool, and I am not sure why I chickened out — except perhaps it's kind of late here.  Maybe tomorrow. 😉

Great job with the perspective Dean and I do like the painted look on the canvas.

"Do you want to carpool?" they asked. "Sure," I answered, unsuspecting.

There's also a good book to read on the table.

With no pockets I could see it lasting longer than that ! Great idea HothWampa 🙂

Haha yeah. I was going to add rubber rings as the pockets but it looked to crowded. I suppose you could use the rubber ring there so it's like a game of tiddlywinks/pool.
