    Title: End of An Era

    Artist: Mark D. Olsen (MDO2010)

    Cripeman tutorial requirement:

    • "Fingers of God Effect" spotlight tutorial https://youtu.be/FOnnroTNwcE used for key light onto the headstone - the final effect is a bit subtle, but it's there
    • "Let It Snow" video at https://youtu.be/n0JlD5ACWlE used for the flying/blowing leaves and to scatter additional leaves
    • "Distributing Objects With Shaders" https://youtu.be/A-xl1IcYgU4 used to place the trees on the mid-ground terrains and to place the fallen leaves beneath the tree/around the headstone

    WIP Links: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/2835101/#Comment_2835101

    Products Used: none, created entirely in Carrara

    Additional Notes: Entirely modeled and textured in Carrara with some minimal light and color adjustment in Photohop (see the WIP link above for before/after versions). The texture on the headstone was painted right inside Carrara using the 3D Paint tools and the "explosion" design is a reference to Cripeman's famous "KAPOW!"

                  (comment) "Each element here speaks Cripeman.  The 'Fear Less' Tee shirt describes him perfectly.  The batting cage is pure genius... I can picture him taking Carrara with him and now teaching others there.  Who knows he may even have version 9 or even 15 by now. :)

    I do declare... everyone is a winner.  There are elements and a look to all the renders that appeal to me... making it very hard to choose only three. :(

    I really liked all of these and think they really spoke to how he has influenced all of you.  The one with the dog howling brought tears to my eyes, I could almost feel the lonliness portrayed in this one.  I could only pick three but I think you all did a fantastic job on each piece.

    Oh... this is the hard part after admiring all the hard work. They are all so unique and interesting in how Cripeman's knowledge was used.
