Penthouse WB - Winners announced Pg 14

Contemporary Elegance

from WinCustomize Forums

k,

Well, if I sit still for too long my brain starts hurting so here's what Ive decided on for my next theme after piddling around for a day or three with a few concepts.

 

Rendered in Cinema 4D with lots of post work in PS, a warm, contemporary type skin with soft colorful mood lighting reminiscent of modern stainless counter-tops and luxury appliances. Perhaps bordering a little on futuristic.

 

Hopefully it'll turn out sharp, no idea what the rest will look like but I'm very happy with its beginnings.

 

The thread header is Penthouse - Contemporary Elegance , Syd and I (she's always a great help) must have gone through 200 before deciding on it.

 

Gonna run a little contest, for the funniest caption after Penthouse -

 

example: Penthouse - Damn, who drank all the caviar!  ....  You get the idea :P

 

Enter as many times as you like but no pics please. Winner gets the Final Blind when it is finished and their choice of 2 others of mine which they may not have or would like to gift to someone.

 

Will post updates as I tinker along with the project. |-)

Penthouse - because everyone likes to sit on top of everyone else and look down upon their domain and say "Damn, I wish the ice-cream truck could hear me up here." :drool:

Lookin' real nice! Definitely reminds me of a modern studio apartment or office.

One thing, and it may just be my eyes--it almost seems like the reflections on the sides of the window frames are too strong. It takes me a while for me to figure it out visually. Same effect on the start menu looks great, though.

Truly impressive work V!!! This is really top of the.....building quality here. Did you make the wall too? Looks great, can't wait. :grin: :drool: :thumbsup:

I had that same thought.......maybe I have bad eyes too ;P , or it could be the dark frames on a dark wallpaper.

Lookin Great bro!!!!!   k6

The frames are bigger, more widely spread, they reflected more light in C4D, have since toned it down slightly tho, dodge brush can be mighty helpful every now and then.

Ahh, those little tools included in Photoshop; though not used very often, they sure come in handy when you need 'em.

I actually liked the first screenshot in the beginning when the sides of the Start menu were more prominent; it gave it a 3D effect as the menu itself appeared to be set back from the frames (if that's what you call them). I noticed that you changed that; now they look side-by-side. It looked like you cut the blue back in the new shots. I really like all the different shades and lighting in the Start menu--there's so many of them, and yet, they blend seamlessly. This my favourite vStyler skin so far.
