the nice bone system in blender made it easy for me to parent the movingparts to the bones, for easier adjusting the wheels might do a small animation too ;) lol

[Jeepster]

the train is looking pretty good :)
i'd suggest smoothing out the terrain, maybe adding a subsurf modifier too.
you might want to do loop cuts (ctrl R) on parts of the cliff to maintain that layered look
anyway, good luck!

added what we call "bielzen" to the track.

[varma]

Wow, that's an interesting and unusual scenery! I'm very intrigued to see it lit and shaded!
I'm sure you have a very special light setup for this scene!
Keep it up!
:thumbsup:

[morenike]

I see you're using blender and very well i might add. You've really come along. How are you going to render the atmosphere?

[ysvry]

thx for the comments, lights I havent realy thought about just wanted to see how the hole looked lighted from within. Atmosphere i havent thought about yet probably some brooding gray sky, typically english or a misty night scene.

this basic shape will be used to create the punkers that will demolish the train while riding to theire doom, Im thinking of adding a malcom and vivienne seated in a half destroyed pullman wagon , and a roadsign saying "NO SEX PLZ, WE'R BRITISH". :p

this was supposed to be a male punker but looks more like a woman too, due probably to my better knowledge of female autonomy, thats atonomy off course. :P

added some houses to the background as i found it a bit empty.

[Jeepster]

hmmm.
three things I'd suggest:
1) add some textures to the ground! you can find some nice ones at cgtextures.com but procedurals could work too
2) you could take out that part of the green mesh that intersects the grey area.
3) the lighting looks like it needs work. try using AO :)
best of luck :)

tried uploding via the special .jar uploader but it doesnt work again? can i upload it trough ftp again as we did by the strange behaviour challenge?
I hope I get an email with login info again , as it sucks not to be able to upload the final render. its only 1.4 mb so why not upload the pics the same way as the wips?

[ysvry]

final render cant upload it through the uploader so i make it available here, just download it and copy it to the finals map pls. or send a ftp login code. ;)

I like to see how much i stayed through to the first schetch that popped into my head in an instant, lol, the mind is a wonderous tool for sure.

http://home.deds.nl/~mp/elf/mpabeiss343.jpg

FTP system is not being used in this challenge, as was explained several times in the Final Upload details thread. We are using the uploader. If you cant run the uploader, you will have to send me your cgtalk username and password along with your final image and information and I will submit it for you.
