c-o  11/01/03 @595

looks great man! Exept maybe for the eye, but I don't really know what it should look like! Keep on the good work...

bheeshoom  11/01/03 @607

unbelieable............ just too great......... Lighting is amazing...... really watery lights........... Too good.......... GR8 -----------> +9

Findecano  11/01/03 @668

Wow, what a great detail! Nice lighting indeed, great job!

marcia  11/01/03 @708

Excellent work on the shark(s)... very convincing, and I like the filtered light effects on its skin. I have heard sharks' eyes referred to as "dead," so this may be accurate.

JapiHonoo  11/01/03 @712

no words to say how wonderful is ..... cooolll!!!!! +8

Larsgehrt  11/01/03 @718

just nice, I love under water scenes...

Stephan-Desy  11/01/03 @724

Great work. Just beautiful. Really great details on the texture and the modeling.

dem0n  11/01/03 @852

awesome

Cyrogenic  11/01/03 @867

Wow.... excellent model. Its awesome! The only thing I can see is the bubbles that are exiting the sharks mouth, because... sharks don't exhale really at all, and certainly not from the mouth. The other thing is the top dorsal fin, which just seems wrong, but I have a feeling your model has that correct. But I don't care. This is art, not an anatomy class on sharks, and you have done an excellent job with the detail in the cuts and lighting, which is just incredible! +my max!

Mattz  11/02/03 @138

Absolutly amazing the textures make it look so life like plus the effect of light passing through water onto it. +5

Great!! +8

mg78  11/03/03 @817

i love that monster (just when im out from the sea) great work

vgar  11/04/03 @057

Holy crap, that is AMAZING!!!! Fantastic model! Excellent detail, I am in awe!!!! I don't mean to nit pick, but I think the surface of the water looks more like clouds than water. Besides that, this piece is abolsutely brilliant! Very well done!

swizzelz  11/04/03 @381

WOAH

Squabman  11/05/03 @803

Very Realistic, amazing.

Lilie  11/05/03 @831

The texture is wonderfuly done. And i agree that the lighting really does give a under water effect. +7!

Stalio  11/06/03 @507

Thanks all so much for the comments guys

ocean1009  11/06/03 @860

amazing bit of work there on the shark.. though the composition is a bit weak imo

BigCircus  11/07/03 @112

To say that this is exceptional is kind of pointless. The execution of the rendering and the texturing are all top notch as well as the post production in photoshop.

Fvercuiel  11/07/03 @787

I agree with BigCircus unfortunately Still, aesthetic.. but score isnt given for aesthetic qualities as much as real skill. Not that this isnt skill. Just, dont worry what I have to say because 3d models arent my cup of tea +3

marius  11/10/03 @806

wow!

BlitzMX  11/13/03 @523

I made it my desktop background, keep doing images like this one..

btl  11/13/03 @718

awesome ! thats an 8:er. Best 3d shark ive ever seen.. Also put as my background. Keep it up .

Nietzsche  11/16/03 @590

Bravissimo Ivan, davvero bella la texture. Hai utilizzato il modello DAZ3d Shark? o l'hai modellato ex-novo? In ogni caso complimenti!!!

PJY  11/16/03 @735

I dunno what to say 'bout this work. You've just killed me with it congratz!

adamfrancuzik  12/03/03 @825

WOW! Very nice detail!!! I like how you thought about keeping the water a dark stormy color, rather than Caribean like waters.

adamfrancuzik  12/03/03 @831

Wait.... this is Lightwave?! I thought you painted! Well.... it's still sweet! I also do 3D, and it's some fine 3D work! Since you paint you can also do some very nice textures! This is somthing that could get you a job working for some movie or game company. (unless you're already working for them?)

velvetgoodnite  12/07/03 @327

just awesome............beauitfully sweet. know how hard it is to do sharks..I tried

multigraph  12/12/03 @906

u r the man

eGaW  03/16/04 @297

Man, I thought it was gonna jump out of my screen and bite my head off

KeremBeyit  03/17/04 @555

Great white work +7

Stalio  03/18/04 @449

Nietzsche : Grazie ,no ,non ho usato modelli preconfezionati ,anche perchè sinceramente ,quelli che si trovano in giro non sono un granchè ,me lo sono modellato. adamfrancuzik : No,I'm not working for movies or games ,but I'm an illustrator ,so , is funny to explore 3D world too Really thanks to all for cooments

Maxl3ell  03/27/04 @792

i jsut looked at it with some 3d glasses... it jumps out!

augustopatino  06/20/04 @345

Astounding, sorry, no actual constructive things to say, just awesome! The scars are kind of painful to watch, but that`s even better!

DrInker  06/21/04 @431

Tourist  06/24/04 @509

Carmella  06/26/04 @661

Rela  06/27/04 @595

i hate sharks!!! They are so scary But this is wonderful job!!!

ThirdDimension  06/28/04 @455

hmm i would have added lightrays casted from the watersurface though .. like volume light , that water doesnt look like water also .. Airbubles from its mouth ? O_o also its too clean water would have a lot of dirty particles flowing around .. being sturred up by the shark some tips what i do like texturing is good .. like the scars atonomy looks great

piciART  06/29/04 @011

Khm!!!! Good!Very good!!This is better than it can be!!! +75

Jackal9487  06/29/04 @600

OMG! This is one of the most realistic works of art I have ever seen! Love the lighting and the detail.

kairikeymaster  01/31/05 @913

HOLY SH**! OMG FANTASTIC!

Kaduflyer  02/22/05 @946

I know i'm like 2 years to late...lol....but here's my two cents! Sharks take much of their prey from the waters surface..seals...sea birds...surfers (haha)....when they strike they take in huge quantities of air as well as their hapless victim...most of the air is expelled thruogh the gills...but some will certainly escape from the mouth as well! I guess maybe its the photoshop over painting...but I've never seen a 3d model this good...or maybe it's because you're a superb artist and not a computer jock? for what it's worth ...top marks

marla  04/23/05 @402

cool!

OtoHime  06/08/05 @867

absolutely amazing.. I love white sharks!! Great atmosphere! 5/5!!! ( sorry but my maximum is only 5!)

gladly  01/09/07 @820

The colours, light and textures used here are great, paired with close attention to detail. Very realistic.

mysticcat  03/15/07 @315

OMG this is GREAT !!! How long did it take you to finish this ??? This reminds me of the 3D artwork "Great White" made with 3dsmax and Combustion (I don't remember the artist's name), but this one of yours has a style. If you have some more little fish in the background then this can be mistaken as a photo . +9/9

JeffMD  03/16/07 @030

speachless! the details are awesome! topmarks!

cnell  03/22/07 @670
