[shotta]

Hi buddies.

Well im really happy that u liked the images:).Now im posting the transport-ship with the textures already finished.I´ve to work more the material fluid,but for tje moment it´s ok.

About the mine, i thought to introduce it on the a canyon ,but i did´nt like the result,so i´ve decide to open the space to obtain a more clear and open enviroment.

I also include a render of mines´s model already finisehd with the drillers.

[Claireabella]

Hi, I really like your sky - it has a lot of depth to it and is very dark and brooding. the environment texture is a good colour match too. Great work so far! :) Claireabella

[Bumbi]

Looks good, sort of like the desert and strange hills in Pitch Black.

The DOF you've used doesn't work with the beautiful sky unfortunately...The pillar is really blurred but the sky behind it isn't which makes it look very unrealistic.

Hi everybody.

-Claireabella thx for ur comments,I´m glad that u like it.

- Bumbi, u ara completily right,it was only a test, the dof has very high value LOL.

Well,after thinking for a while,i´ve changed the background scene avoiding the montains, and i tried something more smooth.

I send u the test and texture with Zbrush.

Hi guys.

Shadowcrane and Nomad thx for ur comments.

Nomad about the sky is a matte-painting.I was loocking for a stormy sky,and I found a good sky and work that image in photoshop with filter and levels, and that´s all man.

This imagen is a final enviroment untill now.it need more rocks decoration elements.

I hope u will like it.

Shotta

[shotta]

Thx Adr,thx for ur comment :bounce: .Im working on a new model, and I´ll post in a few day.
Thx again adr.

Bye ( sorry for may bad english) adios carnal

[Virtuoso]

Hi Miguel.....................I like your concept very much.......I think you have a very intense sky and landscape set up and idea.......Looking very nice........I think that if possible you could show some more close-ups of the structures,perhaps some extra detailing on foreground stuctures could help even more so....otherwise the shapes are not as meaningful,they can be anything,..........Something more to identify with is what I mean............Ok then,I like your work,looking real interesting,and it has a surreal feel,a nice and intense setting.keep going,looking very good...............:arteest: :arteest:

Hi everybody.

Virtuoso thx for ur comments i really appreciate it, You are right in everything you said but for the momment i want to leave the images like this to finish the other elements. thanx again for your good advice.

This is the new model, is an escort guard of the main ship, hope you people like it.
take care byez

[adr]

Muy bueno el diseño de tu Escort Guard , puede quedar excelente con texturas, quizas no estaria mal que agragaras un par de ametralladoras en los lados y otro par de plasma guns ya sea en la parte de abajo de tu nave , o donde creas mas conveniente para que tenga una mejor capacidad de ataque.


Va muy bien amigo , Saludos

[Virtuoso]

Ok Shotta..........the escort guard looks real nice,clean modeling ,nice design........Perhaps you could give the guns a little more size to help showoff this machines power and danger factor?Really give off the fact that it is a weapon or body guard escort type machine....Just a thought.Your doing real well,keep it going .....:thumbsup:

Thx for ur comments,i´m glad you are enjoying it. i agree with you above the weapons but i have made a new change in the model about it.

by the way thanks a lot again.

New update texture

[DigitalOmega]

Hey, this is cool, i really like the texture on the ship, i just want to see it flying and destroying stuff!! hehe, the enviroment is nice too, i just would like to see more stones, and more interesting stuuf, and yes, the sky rocks! keep up the good work!!

[shotta]

Thx carnal :),i´m glad u like it , wherever i finish the guard escort ,i will start with the mine and drillers.So i will try to compose the scene with all the elements.

thx again .

Shotta

[arturro]

Great work man! textures are perfect! But be careful with the lighting, this ship looks amazing in the first post(first textured one), but the second(last update) it looks not as good. It's still qonderful, but not as good as the previous one. The colors are there to intense, the saturation is too high, and in the result the level of realism is lower. Maybe it's the matter of blur also... but try to control it... the results wil be than amazing!

I'm waiting for more:twisted:

[Virtuoso]

Miguel................The textures look nice.Well done........But what is most important here is will the BG be similar to the textures of this escort ship.........? The escort ship with these camoflage textures will work perfectly only if the background is of similar appearance.....If the BG is different in anyway the textures for this ship will cause it to stick out like a sore thumb.......I would think that the escort ship would want as much stealth as possible,so this is something I think you should consider.......Possibly blend in your environment texture pallette,and your sky tones into this vessel texture pallette.....Just a thought......

Anyways,I like the overall look and idea here,keep working hard,a nice piece of work for sure..........:arteest: :arteest:

Thx again for ur comments.

-Arturro : About the light,It´s because of the HDRI ,I changeg the map an the effect variet, but it will not affect the final image.I only tried to improve .Thx again for ur observations.

- Virtuoso: he he he he lol.ialso was thinking the same thing,when i make texture lol.Thx for advise,tonight i will do a new test of the ship in the enviroment,and let´s see how it works.We´ll comment it later, thx again for ur help.

Hi everybody.
I post a new update about a driller, i hope u like it.

[Virtuoso]

Ok Miguel......................it turned out very nice.I did not think it would match,the camoflage would be too off of the terrain at first........But I can see this works real well......It's turned out just right.........I like it.......the driller is next.......I will wait to see more, then i will comment further.......You are doing a very nice job here in many waysmkeep this up.Until next update............All the best......work hard and have fun.........:thumbsup:
