Hi In the last couple of weekends, we have had a jail scene and a shopping scene. But with lockdown around the world, I thought that for this week we should escape to the countryside. So, I have made a cabin in the woods. It is all CGI and created and rendered in Blender 3D, with Adobe Substance used for texturing. Now the scene is set, what will you do with it? What story will you tell with your edited image? 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 in jpeg format at 3000 x 2000 pixels and 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) When posting back your image – please use the Blue reply button in this first post.

Hi

In the last couple of weekends, we have had a jail scene and a shopping scene. But with lockdown around the world, I thought that for this week we should escape to the countryside.

So, I have made a cabin in the woods. It is all CGI and created and rendered in Blender 3D, with Adobe Substance used for texturing.

Now the scene is set, what will you do with it? What story will you tell with your edited image?

Hi,

am so sorry about this, but in the idyll of clearings and leaf canopies now a park for sports and leisure is situated! ;-(((

Which happens really fast, this was something witnessed at first hand by myself.

Viele Grüße und bleibt gesund.

Die ersten Corona-Einschränkungen werden bei uns in Bayern morgen gelockert!!!

High rise cabins. The health and safety folk will have something to say about those balconies without fences 🙂

Hi Dave,

there exists a similar significant growth at Asterix and Obelix in "The mansion of the gods". The both have inspired me first of all. Instead of trees here the small cottage started to grow and after this I could drew the bow into the present.

Maybe a metaphor for the times? Who knows ;). Except for the texturing of the moon (from NASA and ok to use) and the cabin, all components (either photographs or manufactured) are my own.

(Note: Edited from the original - 17:46 GMT, 05/May/20 - added shadow of the dome, better horizon and some rim lighting of the dome from the weak, distant sun)

Not such a far-fetched notion these days. Very creative!

Thanks, Glenn. The lens was a gift from the spouse. Definitely a little too big for shooting the fox at that distance, but it is imaginary after all 🙂

Didn't do much to this other than make it a little more...moody? I have dreams like this. I like them for some reason. Mysterious but calm; peaceful.

James that is obviously how the scene appears as seen through the eyes of the Predator, but with the tactical HUD turned off. This would be a very good time NOT to be in the cabin. Or is it yet another sequal? Predator meets Freddy Krueger, and the winner meets Chucky?

It took me a while to spot the change, and I created the original! It is a big one!

I had to knock the bejesus out of this one and it's still 6Mb even with the colour depth squashed to SFA and the pixel size needing an electron microscope to view the blooming thing. So apologies if it is slow to load.
