been messing with this for a few hours this evening, I was trying to make a decent window texture with SLA, I think it turned out pretty good, the model is a very simple oil tank object with loads of extruded stuctures, the photo background is my backyard as it was getting dark :)

This is awesome, squid. Any chance we could see the ship without all the noise and light? I'd like to get a good look at it. -- 3d_e

here it is, I just subdivided a few areas and extruded random faces to get the structures

That is absolutly amazing:eek: :drool:

Your work is a real inspiration.

My only crit (not that I'm worthy to crit ;) ) is that the light from the ship isn't illuminating the trees when it looks like it should, but that's nothing that can't be fixed with a little PS work.

awesome :eek: and the foggy ambiance adds a lot to the scene.

how many lights here ? :)

a lot :)

but most of them are in array objects, there a quite a lot placed manually as well, i.e. all of the ones placed on the ends of the structures

all together must be a hundred and something, only took a a couple of minutes to render even with all the visible light, c4d rocks :D
