Something for the weekend - Part 128 - On the boil.

[davescm]

For this weekend's challenge I bring you an old kettle (actually 3D model of an old kettle). How will you use it?

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.

* 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 3000 pixels, with a transparent background and 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).

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.

This is beautiful, Dave. I love the texture, coloring, and the elephant trunk spout. 😊

Brilliant Jane.

It was a very quick model and render this week. The surface texture is from Adobe Substance Painter.

Ussnorway, Hi

I love your image composite!

You did an amazing job with your 3D work.

While I am not a 3D person, that Phalaenopsis Orchid definitely got my attention.

I have been a lifetime passionate gardener LONG before Adobe was created.

What is the hindrance, Graham?

[Ussnorway]

the big ball in the sky tends to cook them here

[Jacob Bugge]

Ah, Graham.

I decided to try and recreate Dave's wonderful render and give a nice new shiny surface. I can't render it on my work PC cause it's just to old and would more than likely kill it 😉 so it's only a screenshot

[davescm]

Nice job Ged, I would drink the water out of that one  🙂

[Rafael Aviles]

Very nice render, Dave! I wish you could make money from it! 😊

 

[davescm]

Now that is just what I need. A money kettle 🙂

Dave, amazing work as always!

I think I will stick with my own kettle to start the morning. 😀

A perfect setting - it says so on the oven 🙂

A really nice job kp.  The perspective matches perfectly, and the shading is pretty damn good as well.   I stopped on my way into a DIY store today to look at a poster sized shed advert that showed an obviously Photoshopped quad bike bursting out of the shed.  It was not a terrible job, but anyone who posts to the SFTW threads would know it was a composite.  I doubt many people, if any, would say the same thing about your image.

Trevor, thank your complimentary reply.

Your Photoshop skill level continues to far exceed mine.

LONG AGO . . .  I was so into Photoshop. Now days, I hardly turn on.

SFTW is a fun excuse to revisit Photoshop once again.

Data testing the aphorism that a watched pot never boils

Very good Trevor 🙂

I'm not sure what you have boiled in there Jacob but I'm not drinking it 🙂
