Artist's Comments

I had the idea for this scene last sunday morning, when I had breakfast with toast and coffee. I was listening to Miles Davis' great album "Milestones", so I can say that he somehow inspired me to this image. No idea if Davis smoked cigar (in fact, I think he rather took heroine), but I wanted a cigar on the picture.

Modelling, Shading, Lighting and Rendering were done in Cinema4D R9. Postwork in -what else?- Photoshop.
No HDR image was used, the bright reflections come from simple illuminating planes.
Rendering the whole image took about 13.5 hours on my AMD 2500+ 512MB DDR. I guess, radiosity and diffuse reflections made it render so slowly.

Thank you for looking at this, I appreciate any comments or critics ;-)

Daily Deviation

Given 2005-09-02

I love the way Jazz by ~c4d-Jack makes you feel like you are sitting there, next to a great Jazz musician. The lighting is perfect and the details abundant. It all feels so real to me. (Suggested by `Munkee1 and Featured by `bluespeed9)

Very well done. The lighting is superb. Good post production as well.

Thank you!

It's the 3rd version of the scene (lighting was often reworked), and now I felt like it's final. I also like the postwork (actually, it's what gives the image its mood), it's fun doing that in Photoshop. :)

wonderful image! A bit grainy, but i guess that's to be expected with C4D or any photon based renderer for that matter. I love the depth and the dated feel.

Thank you! The grain is there on purpose, it was added in post.
Should give the effect of a coarse-grained film (well, maybe I overdid a bit ;) ).

This is a really beautiful picture, full of emotion... I like the monochromatic colour scheme as well, the "blues" also convey an interesting idea and feel to it. :) At first I was surprised that it wasn't a photo, actually...
