Level 10

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:18:05 +0000

Made for CGChallenge(10). Inspired by Tetris game which I used to play a lot when I was young.I used 3DS Max, ZBrush and VRay to create everything. Hope you like it!

Little story:
Level 10 was not easy to reach on Steamtris. It was so hard even for people that played the game for years. Legends were made about some players going that far, there was even a story about a kid that reached Level 10 after playing the game for only few months. Nobody believed in those myths for long time until one day there was a big announcement in local newspapers that rumors were actually true and that the little boy will actually demonstrate his skills on the square in our town. I still remember that moment, that Saturday, hundreds of people at our local square and him playing that game like nobody before. It was so magical, untrue, it was the moment when I started believing that in order to do big things in life you just need one substance, love for what you do.

At the time we were living in Croatia there was one old man living in an apartment below ours that had Alzheimer's disease. He would sometimes come to our doors in the middle of the night and try to unlock the doors thinking that it was his apartment. His daughter once told me he forgot who she was, and how he cut his bed with a saw for no logical reason. What a torture that must be, loosing yourself, all your memories, reason and logic. The essence of life is contained in those experiences we had over our lives, people we met and loved, and then this punishment came and took everything from him, stole his essence, his soul, and left him with just a shell of what he is not. There was more left of that old man in his daughter that in the body he was once populating. I will always remember you my unknown friend, you gave me power to create this piece of art, but I wish you never ignited this idea in me because that would mean that you spent your old days free of this suffering. You will live inside your loved ones until the day their time comes, but you will live inside this image forever.

Ideas matter! That is our ammunition, our strength, our goal ... to spread these ideas of peace and love, of individuality and self consciousness. We wanted to show people how special the gift of life is, and once they understood the value and weight of being in this world they will understand the idea of peace. In our minds the only true negation of violence is in nonviolent resistance. So we fire colors more powerful than atomic bombs, the colors of love, hope and new life!
Join us toward self realization, towards new age of overgrowing our past! Think for yourself and fight with your mind and not your muscles, for as long as civilization is contaminated with guns there will be no room left for peace!

Tesla

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:35:32 +0000

Dedicated to one of the most important inventors and geniuses of 20th century, Nikola Tesla.
My idea was to create simple illustration similar to old photos of Nikola next to the Tesla coil, but presented in a different, unique and funny way.
Hope you will like it, for some more info about Nikola's contributions to the modern society check out Wikipedia.

16-bit Memories

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 11:19:27 +0000

Childhood, Christmas time, friends, family, joy, happiness ... and, a new toy on my desk. Toy that will define my life, responsible for such a beautiful experiences from my childhood. Kids imaginary world, lost over time, a glimpse of it left in my head, a glimpse of priceless memory.
But, it wouldn't be such a great experience if it wasn't for my friends... do you guys remember how we spent hours playing games, competing and exploring these new digital frontiers?

I must admit I had Atari ST not Amiga , but my friend had Amiga and it had way better graphics and sound than my ST. So that's the reason why I decided to model Amiga for this illustration, out of respect.

Running away

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 01:06:40 +0000

Remember when we were young, we didn't know what's good and what's bad... how we sometimes destroyed our toys and our parents told us how wrong that was, and that we should try to imagine that that toy was a real person or an animal. Most of us develop emotional intelligence over young age, we learn that what we did to that toy was wrong and to us that toy was the only lesson we needed. But there is also a dark side of humanity, those few that actually enjoyed hurting that toy, those few that, as they grew up, left their tortured toys behind and took a wrong turn...

To all the peace loving folks around this world!

Fall

On Friday DARG facility 3 (dark energy research group) ran their first experiment in reactor. Unfortunately something went wrong, and the strange non destructive explosion happened, forming a giant plasma bubble around facility. Unable to understand what they created scientists decided to evacuate facility, and monitor the phenomenon from distance. But, on the third day something devastating happened ... implosion forming around planet and imploding towards plasma bubble wiped out life of every living organism on earth... and again, without any material destruction. Everything just died. Ironically as it gets, the plasma that was created in first explosion was actually a protective shield, a safe zone... and not only that, it was bursting with some strange sort of energy amplifying life in all organisms left inside the plasma. The problem was that except for microorganisms, the only biological life left in the bubble was the seed in the trash... which after 1 year grew and formed what's known as the tree of resurrection. What scientists never knew was that dark energy was actually parallel spiritual world formed to give life to all biological life on earth... but, as with other things in nature it had its defense mechanism which human curiosity triggered. The proof that life is more than just a matter, actually came on our last day. Maybe it was never our destiny to get the answer to ultimate question.

And you really think dinosaurs died from devastating asteroid impact??

It was you

To my wife...

At the time I was 4 something happened to me that I could not understand... at that old abadoned house where I played all the time. First the moment of silence spread through the sorrounding. Then I felt like someone is watching me, and calling ... and in the split of second the time stoped and the light burned beside me. But I wasn't scared, I didn't think that it was a monster, like from the stories I heard all the time. I only knew that this vision was meant for me, it apeared by intention. As the time faded away and I got older I nearly forgot about that moment, until I met and fell in love with you. Now, I know that it wasn't just a light and memory, it was the birth of my soulmate, it was a message from above that someone else came to the world, someone that will complete the meaning of my life.

The image was rendered in Maxwell with heavy postprocessing in Photoshop. It took me few weeks to finish it ... working in my spare time.

Experiment Chamber

Wed, 29 Nov 2006 01:00:50 +0000

Because I am buliding my showreel, I go through all projects from the past and remodel them to look better.. and this was one of that revisited pictures.

The idea was to create a hallway with chamber which was used to conduct all kind of experiments by some mad scientist.

Modelling/Rendering was done in Maya/Mentalray. Postprocessing in Digital Fusion. Hope you like it...

Dawn Of Balance

Thu, 08 Dec 2005 18:59:40 +0000

The blue - which arises from overexposed light and fades away represents the life itself ... the cruel and cold story of it ... the way it is. The light around the corner is the begining, the creation, but ... the main part of the image is the human whose memories of that past times are very different from what they truly were in real life. The memories are warm ... they burn in his mind ... they are the main mechanism which gives meaning to his life. And everytime he finds himself loosing faith in that cold and cruel world, he comes to the fireplace, a source of his existance, takes one of the warm events from the past, and rises a memory of it ...
The image is made as a beta testing for the new render for Maya, the finalRender. It was rendered in passes and composed in Fusion where it was postprocessed.

The Last Journey

Mon, 29 May 2006 17:38:36 +0000

Chapter 93 from diary: My last journey to Earth.

"The gods left us. Angels, they said ... we created you to be our right hand, the ones who pursue our goal to raise biological life all over the universe. And from the beginning it was as they said, until now. Billions of years passed since the creation, but we never foresee that our masters can leave us. We, the angels, are all that are left behind in upper world. Our fathers left us after those apocalyptical events started. Only piece they left behind is a temple in which they lived from the time of creation. But, the universe is coming to end. All the life which we raised through the universe has disappeared. Only few planet, out of billions, are still alive, and we still visit them from time to time to raise belief in gods. But belief in what!... if intelligent biological life only knew how our masters used us all ... how they created all life to serve them and not to praise it. All that life energy which was drained from belief in them ... if they know what great deception that was. I am ashamed of my fathers. The Earth, a planet which was one of the most beautiful in the universe is at his last decade. I visited Earth so many times before ... I was her guardian, and I will be her guardian this last time. This is my last visit, a journey to Earth, a decision to share the destiny of life at that planet. "

Slow Decay

Mon, 29 May 2006 17:15:19 +0000

This image was inspired by the animated movie Ghost In The Shell. The idea of dark dirty poluted future was the main point of this picture. It shows the real future of human's world. One old man said: "I didn't see the sun since the time I was young. The blue sky. Where is it now? Does it still shine above this eternal fog? I hope to see it on my last day. I hope that my spirit would have eyes once I fly away, so I can feel it once again. My blue sky, I dream of you every day."

Force Of Nature

Mon, 30 May 2005 09:37:27 +0000

My Master and Servant entry. Description:
For decades, people thought that the Earth has been given to them to use it as they want. As the time passed by, they became more and more arrogant, egocentric, the illusion that they are masters of everything spread through everybodys mind, until the judgement day. Masively poluted and basically on the edge of existance, the Earth rose her only hope, the mother nature. This creature manifested in two life forms ... each one representing the two aspects of nature. The first one, the big tree, shows the material part of the nature, the strength, and the smaller one represents life-energy-inteligence. On the other side, the unwanted one is our population, the people, which is represented in similar way to the nature-life, but this time in form of machine-human. As the battle begun the mother nature proposed to the people that if they give up all the technology and industry that they have created, she will give them another chance. But humans didn't want to hear her, they thought that the machines will destroy this threat, that they are stronger and rule the earth ... but ... it wasnt like that. The greatest child of the nature was wiped away in six days, and on the seventh day all lifeforms that humans destroyed were rised again and the balance was restored.
We are all slaves (in positive way) of the mother earth, and we should act like that and take care of our master. A real master is the one who gives life, and not the one who takes it.

A glimpse of the past

Wed, 23 Aug 2006 10:22:46 +0000

I tried to invoke the feling of abadoned place, the someones past, the place where someone grow up, and to create that enviroment far away from city lights, somewhere in mountains, far away from sight. Maybe you won't see it, but under the little tree on the left lies the last parson who lived in this house. Now the the house is left on it's own, lonely...

Painting I did over last couple of weeks. It's one of the first paintings I ever did on computer. I decided to extend my knowledge of 3D to 2D field during this year. I know it's far from being good but it's a start.
The idea was to create giant hole where several civilization build temples and research centers to investigate the source of strange energy fluctuation. Old ones build temples thinking it was coming from Gods, modern civilization build research centers around it... but then war started and everything was abandoned. Couple hundred of years into the future and new visitors found it again.
