Hi
There were some brilliant ideas in last week's cabin and woods challenge. For this week though we have had enough fresh air and are going urban, specifically into the subway. I created and rendered this image in Blender 3D, and used Adobe Substance for texturing.
Now the scene is set, what will you do with it? What story will you tell with your edited image? You can do anything you like, just don't get mugged!
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. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.
Have fun.
Dave

He's the son of a boyfriend of mine. He was 21 when I took this. He is so photogenic, one of my favorite models.
-Edit- He isn't really a hoodlum. Just for that shoot haha
Hi, first of all I too want highly commend this newly Dave's work! Thanks!
To me the atmosphere appears to be very cheerless, the image closely matches it! For me therefore it was logical to renovate the underpass, AND so too in order to avoid confusion because here is no underground car park. Due to the construction it is quite busy there, inevitably. ;-)))
Hans I love your busy subway scene, and I hope you don't mind me saying, but you could have made the Volvo dump truck fit the scene a wee bit better just using Free Transform. As we all know, we make object layers into Smart Objects if we are going to use Free Transform because it locks the handles to the original positions in case we need to take a second stab at it. It can be impossible to fine tune if we forget that step.
One of my favourite YouTube channels, LetsDig18, features a slightly bigger (A30) Volvo dump truck as well as three Volvo excavators (EC160, EC220 and EC250) plus the usual skid steer, vibrating roller and grader.
As we have some new contributers to the SFTW threads, I'll remind folk that if they use Windows and have Lazy Nezumi Pro, you can use its Vanishing Lines preset to help match a scene's perspective. With Dave's amazing Subway scene we have those tiles to help us, but even with this image it can help to make an outline of a construction box to fit a composited element into. Having said that, I didn't do that with my train, which I suspect is miles out. I might have got my Big Issue seller more accurate as well, but I had no excuse for that because of the tiles. And I STILL haven't started the job I promised myself I'd get done yesterday. But between SFTW and some short stories I am totally unable to put down (Martha Wells Murderbot series) I had no chance. 😞
